A CUT ABOVE
TAILORING / WORK TO PLAY
There are evenings where your workday and your night out overlap, and the suit you start the day in needs to carry you through both. The shift from the boardroom to nights out isn’t about a complete outfit change; it is about knowing which pieces adapt and which details transform the look. With the right foundation, you can move from the final meeting to the first glass of champagne without missing a step.
The foundation is a sharp, well-cut suit in a versatile tone. CALIBRE’s Wool Twill Suit in black delivers the formality needed for business while serving as the perfect canvas for an evening update. Worn during the day with our Signature Tailored Shirt in white and a slim Italian silk tie, it reads professional and controlled. When the workday is over, lose the tie, swap the shirt for a black refined twill
version, and slide a cotton pocket square into the jacket. The transformation is immediate, the structure remains, but the mood changes.
If you want more depth in tone, the Wool Twill Suit in navy or the Refined Thatch Suit in granite offer a similar level of adaptability. Pair them with polished Dylan Chelsea Boots to keep the look clean and grounded. For accessories, keep it tight: a single lapel pin or understated cufflinks will carry the formality through to evening without tipping into overstatement.
Shirts play a major role in the transition. Crisp white is a daytime staple, but switching to black, deep navy or a fluid fabric changes the energy under low light. CALIBRE’s Fluid Shirt in navy is an ideal example, soft in movement, sharp in cut, and a subtle shift from corporate to cocktail.
The key is to plan for the switch. Build your day look on pieces that hold their shape, fabrics that stay fresh, and colours that work under both office light and candlelight. That way, when the clock shifts, you are not starting over, you are simply shifting gears, carrying the same confidence into a different setting.
