The Great (Christmas) Escape

Words by Mr Ryan Thompson

17 December 2015

Travelling to see the family this holiday? Slip into Paul Smith’s A Suit To Travel In and arrive looking perfectly gift-wrapped.

Festive travellers among you will no doubt be pondering the question of how to look sharp and stylish while sitting in a car or on a plane flying across the country to see loved ones. Everyone fleeing the city at the same time can make for horrendous journeys, so it pays to travel in comfortable attire specifically designed for the task. A Suit To Travel In is impervious to creases, thanks to the unique super-high-twist merino yarn, which naturally springs back to its original smooth finish no matter how crumpled it gets. Furthermore, merino wool’s natural breathability and temperature-regulating properties will ensure you stay calm and collected even while travelling in a packed train carriage.

A Suit To Travel In comes in three cuts – Slim, Soho and Mayfair – and is half-canvassed in order to drape over the body’s contours while retaining its shape. Pair it with the Paul Smith City Embossed leather slim business folio for a refined, professional look on Christmas Eve morning (or any work day for that matter) that will have the relatives chanting, “We’re so proud!” as you cross the family threshold. Once home, simply lose the Oxfords in favour of some sneakers and swap the shirt and tie for a fine-gauge roll-neck sweater and you instantly convert the suit from elegant work uniform to a very serviceable smart-casual outfit. Or keep it all on and position yourself next to a piano to channel Mr Bing Crosby in White Christmas.
