SHOPPING, BEST OF, STORIES

TIME FOR THE TUX

Every now and again a brand comes along that ticks all the boxes – and Racil is one of those rare gems that does just that. Known for their feminine take on masculine tailoring, Racil’s jackets and trousers have become cult items for their ability to take you from day to night, and to withstand the test of time. Racil feels like a very smart buy: pieces are immaculately cut, in properly thought-out fabrics and at prices that come in at less than your average high-end number. Throw in this autumn’s trend for suiting and velvet, and you have a brand that couldn’t be more in demand. Here is our pick of some of their very best pieces.
