Anyone from age the age of five to that of ninety five can enjoy the great accessibility of these musical performances, from students to business men and housewives to executives.

While there is no official dress code, it’s still important to look your best, and SuitsMen can certainly help you there! It would be unseemly to arrive for Mahler’s Symphony No. 9 in blue jeans and a ragged t-shirt! For the formal concerts, suitsmen offers many handsome options that will flatter gentleman. For jackets, there is a wide selection of black  dinner jackets, white Tuxedos, as well less formal attire, such as double breasted blazers and such striking options as the Salisbury Wool Jacket. For shirts, suitsmen offers everything from wing collars to pleated fronts and double cuffs, in white, ivory and black.

No formal outfit is complete without a waistcoat, and the options available in this category are numerous as well. In addition, there is no limit to the selection of accessories. The John White Oxford shoe is particularly sharp, and the addition of cufflinks to any ensemble is a subtle but powerful statement about a man’s style.

There is also a selection of belts on sale to fit a variety of sizes, and all the trimmings to make a fashionable outfit complete. Any of these options would fit the 2009 Proms fantastically, and the range of music available this Summer is as varied as the selections on hand at www.suitsmen.co.uk.
