It’s hip and elegant, a timeless look that is back in vogue and can be worn both to the office and social functions. This is the one button suit, commonly referred to as tuxedo. A black one is traditionally seen as a formal eveningwear.

The suit comes in different colours, with unique ‘unfinished’ lapel design with top strip stitches. The jacket is also double pocketed, with a single cut; the trouser is slim fit.

This fashionable suit also comes in three-piece. To wear it to the office, Jane Njambi of Ray Fashion advises, "The shirt determines the functionality of this suit. For the office, consider a sober shirt — cool colours and, maybe, stripped. For casual occasions, it calls for bright coloured shirts that come with matching ties.

Go for an elegant leather designer shoe of a complimenting colour."

The single button is for the young at heart; it gives the wearer a standout movie star look. Wear it to weddings, office parties and in the office — a choice of many young executives.
