PS Paul Smith x John Lewis

Just in time for wedding season and spring’s smarter affairs, PS Paul Smith and John Lewis have joined forces to launch an exclusive tailoring capsule—marking a first for both brands. It’s a tightly edited collection designed for the modern man who wants classic suiting with just the right dose of personality.

The drop includes a tailored-fit suit in six fabric options, and seven shirts that tap into Paul Smith’s signature play on print and colour. The tailoring sticks to the tried-and-true codes—flap pockets, two-button closure, and a wool-rich blend for durability. But look inside and you’ll find Paul Smith’s subtle flourish: a navy and turquoise lining that nods to the designer’s offbeat elegance.

Colourways are where the classics live—Navy Birdseye, Grey, Light Blue, and a solid rotation of checks—but it’s the shirts that really bring the personality. Think cotton-rich bases dressed in leaf prints, minimalist dot patterns, and clean monochromes. This is event dressing for men who want to get the tone just right: formal enough to hold court at the bar, relaxed enough to make an impression at the afterparty.

As John Lewis continues to expand its premium menswear offering, this capsule gives its tailoring section a well-placed lift. PS Paul Smith brings just enough design pedigree and off-kilter British charm to make the collection feel unique but wearable.

Available now in selected John Lewis stores and online. Shirts start at £125, trousers at £195, and jackets at £400. Consider it occasionwear—with intent.
