Tommy Hilfiger are best known for their casual and Hamptons inspired style but also have some of the coolest suits out there.
The designer store opened it’s doors on Grafton Street in 2008 and even Tommy himself has flown over multiple times to check it out.

9. Marks and Spencer
You can’t go wrong with anything from Marks and Spencer.
The UK department store has gone from strength to strength over the years with the quality of their suits improving especially.
Whilst they don’t stock virgin wool suits (yet) they do have some of the finest quality wool you that would even rival Paul Costelloe in Arnotts.
With a variety of suits that fit all shapes and sizes, the price point of their stock is tempting and means you’ll have some extra cash saved you can spend on the essential tailoring.
The best thing about Marks and Spencer’s suits is that they are one of the few brands that have barely changed the fit of their suits in the last twenty years.
10. Ted Baker
The king of cool and chic, British brand Ted Baker have some of the swankiest suits around.
If you’re looking for a suit that’s different to what you usually see, this is the first choice for most.
