Expert Styling Tips from Marc Darcy
Perfect the Fit
Mastering tailoring starts with a great fit. Our online size predictor tool delivers a fast, accurate suggestion based on your height and weight. In between sizes? We always recommend sizing up and then taking it to your local tailor for custom tweaks; these make a big difference and ensure the suit fits perfectly and matches your own body shape.
Accessorise Smartly
A suit is like the foundation of your house, and the accessories are like the furnishings. From bold ties to patterned pocket squares to classic leather shoes, the right accessories will elevate your look from great to unforgettable. Top Tip: coordination is key, choose accessories in the same colour family.
Take Care of Your Investment
To keep your Marc Darcy styles in tip-top shape, we advise following the steps below:
-
Hang your garments on shaped suit hangers
-
Store them in breathable garment bags
-
Dry clean occasionally (not excessively)
-
Brush off lint and use a steamer for touch-ups
A little care goes a long way in preserving the look and feel of your suit.
