The “Dress Well, Drink Well” Style Guide

At the heart of this partnership is a meticulously curated summer linen edit that acts as the blueprint for warm-weather hosting. By combining Laithwaites’ expertise in flavor profiling with Tyrwhitt’s sharp tailoring, they’ve mapped out the ultimate sartorial and viticultural pairings for four classic summer scenarios:

1. The Garden Party Fit

• The Look: A relaxed, short-sleeve cotton-linen shirt paired with matching cotton-linen shorts and effortless summer slip-on loafers.
• The Pour: Serve it alongside a crisp, chilled bottle of the Kew Series by Laithwaites Sparkling Blanc de Cabernet for the ultimate afternoon refresh.

2. The City Rooftop Edge

• The Look: A sharp but highly breathable jacquard shirt styled with Charles Tyrwhitt’s non-iron, moisture-wicking Ultimate Chinos.
• The Pour: Best enjoyed with a glass of Italy’s best-kept secret—L’Occhiolino Semi-Sparkling Red Wine—a vibrant pour traditionally sipped on the sun-soaked streets of Bologna.

3. The Summer of Sport (Cricket Match)

• The Look: Casual five-pocket trousers, a breathable linen shirt, and a premium merino wool sweater casually thrown over the shoulders to combat unpredictable afternoon breezes.
• The Pour: Toast to the match with a bright, punchy glass of Hunter’s Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

4. The Summer Wedding

• The Look: Grooms look razor-sharp in a luxury Italian or sharkskin suit, a white twill shirt, a grenadine silk tie, and suede penny loafers. Guests can play it cooler in a highly breathable linen suit, lightweight non-iron poplin shirt, and a textured linen-mix tie.
• The Pour: Celebrate the big day with an elite English sparkling wine, the Harrow & Hope Sparkling Brut Reserve No. 9.

VIP Perks on Jermyn Street

“The collaboration also extends straight into the brick-and-mortar retail experience, completely rewriting the script for traditional wedding shopping.”

As part of the partnership, Charles Tyrwhitt customers will unlock exclusive brand discounts. Even better, if you book a wedding styling appointment at Tyrwhitt’s flagship store on Jermyn Street, London, you’ll be treated to a complimentary glass of the award-winning Harrow & Hope Sparkling Brut in the executive lounge.

Grown and crafted just down the road in Marlow by Henry and Kaye Laithwaite, it’s the ultimate way to relax in a private space while locking down your look for the big day.
