Business Travel Capsule Wardrobe: 3 Suits, 6 Shirts
Question answered: “What suits should I get made for business travel?”
By Tony Ram, Second-generation owner, Peninsula Bespoke Tailor · Updated
A good business travel capsule is three suits and six shirts: navy, charcoal and mid-grey suits in high-twist wool, plus white, light blue and subtle-stripe shirts. Everything mixes, so you get many combinations from one carry-on. Add one pair of black and one pair of brown shoes.
What's in the capsule?
| Item | Choice |
|---|---|
| Suit 1 | Navy, high-twist wool |
| Suit 2 | Charcoal, high-twist wool |
| Suit 3 | Mid-grey or subtle check |
| Shirts | 2 white, 2 light blue, 2 subtle stripe |
| Shoes | Black oxford, brown derby |
Why these colours?
Every shirt goes with every suit, and the jackets work as odd jackets with the other suits' trousers in a pinch.
Can I build it over several trips?
Yes. Order one suit and shirts on the first trip, then reorder the rest from home using your saved measurements.
