If you’re a fan of looking good without breaking the bank, you’re probably familiar with Charles Tyrwhitt. Born in a university bedroom in Bristol, England back in 1986, the brand has become a mainstay for good quality clothing which does the job for less.
Now celebrating its 40th birthday, I’ve taken a look at the brand’s current offering and hand-selected nine pieces I’d recommend. Those range from stylish workwear to casual evening attire and everything in between.
Pure Linen Shirt

Up first is an easy one, because it’s the Charles Tyrwhitt product in my personal wardrobe. I love linen shirts for their breathability in warmer weather, and have used them for a couple of years now.
It’s an essential addition to a stylish wardrobe. Style it up over a plain t-shirt, wear it half open at the beach or fully buttoned for breathable – but still presentable – summer wear.
The Charles Tyrwhitt Pure Linen Shirt retails for $139, with multibuy discounts available on larger orders.

When the office calls for something a little more formal, but you still want to show off some personality, this Twill Puppytooth Shirt is a great option. Enough pattern to keep things interesting, but smart enough to not look out of place, this is a solid pick.
It also makes use of the brand’s non-iron material, which takes another job out of your day. That’s handy, making sure you look your best without having to spend hours in front of the ironing board.
The Charles Tyrwhitt Non-Iron Twill Puppytooth Shirt costs $129.
Linen Suit

For all the same reasons I love the brand’s linen shirts, this linen suit is calling out to me. Not only is it available in a delightful range of colors – I’m really taken by the Taupe – it offers breathability which is crucial for hot weather workwear.

5 Pocket Jeans

Surely I’m not the only one who thinks buying jeans as an adult is an arduous task? Simply sifting through the discount racks stopped being acceptable in your teenage years, and now you’re left trying to work out how to spend enough for quality without getting ripped off.
The Charles Tyrwhitt Five Pocket Jeans look seriously smart, with a fine finish which almost looks like a chino more than denim. At $149, I’d say they’re reassuringly priced, too.
Pure Merino Turtleneck Sweater

It might be hard to imagine given the current heat, but cooler weather is on the horizon, and that means we’ll all need to take stock of our knitwear. Personally, I don’t think there’s anything more timeless than a black turtleneck sweater, offering a level of chic which could never be matched my a lesser neckline.

Showerproof Raincoat

As I write this, I’m two months into a drought, and the prospect of rain is akin to nirvana. But I’m sure in a few months time, rainfall will once again feel like a nuisance, set out to ruin my outfit for the day.
Still, you can steer into the skid, so to speak, with a stylish raincoat. The Charles Tyrwhitt Showerproof Raincoat – particularly in this fetching Olive Green hue – allows any unexpected downpours to be played off in style. $479 bags you the look.
Leather Penny Loafers

Stylish footwear is a must for the modern office-goer, and nothing says “I’m sure of my style” quite like a pair of penny loafers. These shoes have really pulled back into fashion in recent years, and it’s not too hard to see why.

Silk Patterned Tie

If you’re still required to show up to the office in-person, you’re going to need to look sharp when you do. Yes, that means a suit, but it also means a tie, and there are lots of ways to have fun in this regard.
A good silk tie is one of the nicest little luxuries you can get, and there are loads to choose from in the Charles Tyrwhitt Silk Patterned Tie range. Priced at $65 or $50 when buying multiple, these offer a simple way to upgrade your outift.
Leather Dress Sneakers

Dress shoes and sneakers don’t often occupy similar ground, but I can certainly understand the naming convention here. Think of these as the sneakers you wear on a weekend when you wear dress shoes all week, and you’ll understand the vibe.
