What’s New: Without Prejudice Clothing

June 5, 2013

Without Prejudice comes to us from the eclectic and creative corner of North West London where two brothers with a passion for fashion and a long family history in fashion marketing wanted to create something unique. WP is among one of the greats brands we carry that offers a wide range of styles fit for any occasion. We’ve got a variety of daytime sportcoats all the way up to a classic black tuxedo.

We recognize that there is a growing trend among men to look for “transitional” items, ones that can take you from one occasion to the next. But, let’s not abuse that privilege. The real sign of a gentlemen lies is in his ability to diversify his wardrobe to match the occasion at hand.  With the vast array of styles and fashion now available for men, there is no reason why you should be wearing your office suit jacket as a sportcoat for a night out. Here are some great examples of how you can work WP in to your wardrobe to achieve distinct looks based on your function.
