Known for their particularly elegant suits, Canali is one of the top ten suit brands for men because of their exceptional materials, often made of natural fibers.

In terms of suiting, Canali is of the top ten suit brands a guy should be looking at if he needs suits for work that he can also wear into the night.

Brioni

Brioni suits are some of the finest in the world – no wonder they are at the top of our list. The reason Brioni suits are so nice is that every single detail is controlled by the manufacturer and the sheep that provide wool for the suits are even kept in a beautiful environment that’s set to the right temperature during sheering season.

Of course, the best quality wool is only part of the Brioni charm. The classic Italian craftsmanship and cut is another huge factor. While Brioni suits are certainly at the top of the price range, they’re a lifetime investment that any guy can wear with pride.

Pair a Brioni suit with a Brioni shirt and you really have a classic, timeless wardrobe that can’t be beat in terms of quality.

Zegna

Quality materials and attention to detail are also very important to Zegna. Not to mention the fact that anything with a Zegna tag on the inside is going to be fashionable for years to come, no matter how fashion-forward the group you run or work with is.

Like John Varvatos suits, Hickey Freeman suits tend to be form-fitting and less relaxed.

If you’re ready to spend a pretty penny on a designer suit, Gucci may be the right choice for you. It’s also an ideal pick for guys that feel like they need designer labels in their closet because of their jobs.

While Gucci may still have a little Italian flair, most of their suits follow fashion trends, so you’ll see form-fitting shoulders and bodies with slim pants that are tapered at the ankle. When it comes to fabric, you’ll get about as many choices with Gucci as you will with any of the designers because of their brand size.
