The Original Performance Suit (Bordeaux)

In short: The Original Performance Suit in Bordeaux from TEESHOPPEN is the colour to choose when black and blue have been hanging in your wardrobe for far too long. The blazer and trousers are sold separately, so you can mix and match the size and colour to suit your actual body shape. The cut is slim-fitting with a notch lapel and two buttons at the front, and because the fabric stretches with you, you’ll last the whole party without feeling restricted.

Bordeaux isn’t the colour you’d choose for a job interview. It’s the colour for the Christmas party, New Year’s Eve or that party where you want to be remembered for something other than wearing ‘the same suit as last year’. Deep, warm and slightly daring, without being too loud.

The fabric is designed to move, not to constrict. Raise your champagne glass for a toast, give a hug in the cloakroom, sit down for the long dinner speech, without feeling the seams pulling at your shoulders. And because the blazer and trousers are sold separately, you can mix and match the top and bottom sizes yourself, rather than letting a standard size dictate where the jacket feels tight.

One thing we can’t promise: that burgundy is as easy to style as black. It requires you to be bold enough to wear colour. On the other hand, it looks striking paired with a white shirt, and you’ll avoid looking like everyone else in navy at the table.

• Slim, modern cut with a notch lapel and two buttons at the front
• Blazer and trousers are chosen separately, sizes 46–58
• Free choice of colours and sizes across both items
• Stretchy performance fabric that moves with you all evening

About TEESHOPPEN

We have one simple rule at TEESHOPPEN: you shouldn’t pay for a brand name, you should pay for the fabric. That’s why we source directly, without middlemen adding their mark-up, and that’s the only reason we can keep prices down.

Our range is designed to expand your wardrobe without making it more expensive. For us, ‘basic’ doesn’t mean boring – it means clothes that suit more occasions than just the one you bought them for, and which are made from materials that can withstand being worn time and time again.

Should TEESHOPPEN be the place you return to when your wardrobe needs a refresh, whether you’re a man or a woman? The range is constantly expanding with the seasons, so you can always find something new and basic. See the rest of the selection from TEESHOPPEN.

Bundle offers at TEESHOPPEN

No body fits a standard size all the way through. That’s why we let you put together your own bundle – several styles in the size and colour you actually need – rather than forcing you into a fixed set. It’s your wardrobe; you build it.

Frequently asked questions

Is burgundy too much for a wedding?

No, unless you’re the groom yourself – in which case, do check with the couple first. As a guest, burgundy is a safe and elegant choice that stands out slightly from the sea of navy and grey without stealing the show.

Can I choose different sizes for the blazer and trousers?

Yes, absolutely. Blazers and trousers are sold as two separate items. If you’re broader across the shoulders than at the waist – or vice versa – simply choose each piece individually.

What colour shoes go with a burgundy blazer?

Black always goes with burgundy and is the safe choice for a party. If you want to step it up a gear, dark brown leather also pairs well with the colour.

What does ‘performance fabric’ mean in a suit?

It means the fabric has built-in stretch. The suit moves with your body when you sit down, reach out or walk quickly, rather than tightening up like a classic, stiff suit fabric does.

Which size should I choose if I usually wear a M?

Follow the guide above: European size 50 corresponds to M. If you’re unsure between two sizes and need the suit for a party, feel free to choose the smaller of the two. This gives a sleeker fit.
