SUITED up is how we like our men at Body Confidential. Ties, pocket squares, ironed and pressed is all a man needs in our book. After all Oscar Wilde decreed, "You can never be overdressed or overeducated."
"Donating a suit can really give these men an opportunity to change their life"
So if you haven't already boys, suit up.
Donate and support with your unwanted garments
House of Fraser is even helping you do it. They are launching their new charity initiative offering customers £100 off a new suit when you donate your old and unwanted one.
Starting from Sunday 17 August until Saturday 20 September, House of Fraser stores nationwide will open their clothing banks in order to help the Suited & Booted charity.
The charity helps vulnerable, unemployed and low-income men by giving them interview clothing and career advice. It helps a wide range of men who struggle to show their full potential at an interview and 'look the part', whether they be long-term unemployed, homeless, ex-military personnel or in recovery for mental health problems.
Suited at House of Fraser"We are absolutely delighted to be supporting Suited & Booted which provides such a valuable, and in many cases life changing, service to so many people," explained Emily Cowburn, junior buyer at House of Fraser.
"We would like to encourage as many people as possible to visit their nearest House of Fraser store to donate old suits. Even if you have an old suit and are not looking to buy a new one, you can provide a fresh start for someone in need, and all it takes is one small donation."
"Suited & Booted is delighted to be part of a national campaign that will help us get our vulnerable clients work," commented Dr Maria Lenn, from Suited & Booted. "Donating a suit can really give these men an opportunity to change their life and we thank House of Fraser for their wonderful support."
