As the weather begins to improve and the social calendar becomes busier, it can only signal one thing: race season is approaching. The upcoming months are filled with chances to dress smartly, and for gentlemen, that means it’s time to get suited and booted.
For those looking to cut a sharp silhouette trackside, shoppers are turning to Slater Menswear, which has just unveiled its race-day-ready collection ahead of the new season. The brand offers a wide range of styles, from heritage-inspired tweed to more statement double-breasted designs, with prices starting at £120.
While it’s hard to choose a standout, one highlight is a slim-fit navy three-piece suit (from £125). The sophisticated design features peak lapels, flap pockets, and a double-breasted, scoop-waistcoat; details that lend it a refined edge appropriate not only for the races but also for weddings and other formal events, reports The Mirror.
Elsewhere, a tailored fit fleck double-breasted suit (£125) taps into one of the season’s key colour trends: brown. With its subtle fleck design and structured fit, it feels equally at home at a wedding as it does at Ascot. It also includes a boutonnière loop, allowing wearers to add a floral finishing touch.
Last but not least, we also love this slim-fit beige two-piece suit (£120), which is a brilliant colour for the summer with its effortlessly sophisticated hue. Its versatile tone will make any accessory choice instantly pop, while its timeless finish looks far more expensive than its price tag suggests.
To complete the outfit, Slater Menswear also offers a selection of shirts and ties, making it easy to pull together a race day look that feels considered, cohesive and ready for the season ahead. However, shoppers should note that these suits require dry cleaning.
Beyond Slater, another place to shop for suits is Charles Tyrwhitt. The retailer offers a variety of styles, including classic wool options to distinctive checks, with prices starting from £99.95.

For those looking to invest a little more, Marc Darcy offers a luxury collection of two and three-piece suits. While prices start from a slightly higher £199.99, the brand is known for its trend-led tailoring: think bold check patterns and signature tweed textures.
There aren’t many reviews of Slater Menswear via the brand website, but there are plenty on TrustPilot. One happy shopper shared: “Really impressed with Slater Menswear. The clothes are high quality, stylish, and fit well. Fast delivery and excellent customer service. Will definitely shop here again.”
Meanwhile, a second said: “Excellent suits and excellent customer service. I bought the suit online, and had to take it to the shop in Newcastle City Centre for alteration. The staff attended to me professionally and sorted it out in a timely manner.”

However, someone else had a problem with home delivery: “Delivery by DPD was poor. However, service in the Abertawe shop was excellent.”
On a brighter note, this Slater fan chimed in: “Jacket delivered promptly and well packaged. It is very smartly tailored with wide lapels and three external pockets. The fit is perfect. The jacket would be ideal for both formal and business occasions.”
