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.

Suit 2Charcoal, high-twist wool
Suit 3Mid-grey or subtle check

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.
