‘Smartly tailored’ £85 suit with ‘perfect fit’ is ideal for a sharp race-day look

With well-fitted suits starting from £85, Slaters is getting men dressed up for Cheltenham, Royal Ascot and Aintree race days

As the weather starts to turn and the social calendar fills up, it can only mean one thing: race season is on the horizon. The coming months are packed with opportunities to dress up, and for men, that means it’s time to get suited and booted.

For those looking to cut a sharp silhouette trackside, shoppers are turning to Slater Menswear, which has just unveiled its race-day-ready collection ahead of the new season. The brand offers a wide range of styles, from heritage-inspired tweed to more statement double-breasted designs, with prices starting at £85.

While it’s hard to choose a standout, one highlight is a slim-fit navy three-piece suit (from £125). The sleek design features peak lapels, flap pockets, and a double-breasted, scoop-waistcoat; details that give it a polished edge suitable not only for the races but also for weddings and other formal occasions.

Elsewhere, a tailored fit fleck double-breasted suit (£125) taps into one of the season’s key colour trends: brown. With its subtle fleck design and structured fit, it feels equally at home at a wedding as it does at Ascot. It also includes a boutonnière loop, allowing wearers to add a floral finishing touch.

Last but not least, we also love this slim-fit beige two-piece suit (£85), which is a brilliant colour for the summer with its effortlessly sophisticated hue. Its versatile tone will make any accessory choice instantly pop, while its timeless finish looks far more expensive than its price tag suggests.

To complete the outfit, Slater Menswear also offers a selection of shirts and ties, making it easy to pull together a race day look that feels considered, cohesive and ready for the season ahead. However, shoppers should note that these suits require dry cleaning.

Beyond Slater, another place to shop for suits is Charles Tyrwhitt. The retailer offers a variety of styles, including classic wool options to distinctive checks, with prices starting from £99.95.

Otherwise, Burton also has a wealth of smart suits to consider. The edit includes double-breasted suits, waistcoats and tuxedos – and prices start from a very affordable £8.50, with the brand running a huge sale right now.

There aren’t many reviews of Slater Menswear via the brand website, but there are plenty on TrustPilot. One happy shopper shared: “Really impressed with Slater Menswear. The clothes are high quality, stylish, and fit well. Fast delivery and excellent customer service. Will definitely shop here again.”

Meanwhile, a second said: “Excellent suits and excellent customer service. I bought the suit online, and had to take it to the shop in Newcastle City Centre for alteration. The staff attended to me professionally and sorted it out in a timely manner.”

However, someone else had a problem with home delivery: “Delivery by DPD was poor. However, service in the Abertawe shop was excellent.”

On a brighter note, this Slater fan chimed in: “Jacket delivered promptly and well packaged. It is very smartly tailored with wide lapels and three external pockets. The fit is perfect. The jacket would be ideal for both formal and business occasions.”
