The 30 Best Formal wear store in London

“Michelle was amazing with my daughter. She was kind and made sure she felt comfortable to choose what she liked and helped her find the most beautiful dress which she looked and felt amazing in. Thank you so much Michelle for making her primary school prom dress experience so amazing x”

“Incredible customer centric staff and what a collection. Picking up my trousers tomorrow; defintely found my new favourite place to shop for clothes, particularly after a terrible experience from a very unprofessional employee from a neighbouring mens clothes shop just down the road.”

“Went to After Dark to look for a formal evening dress. Douglas was so friendly, accommodating and just such a lovely man with a beautiful selection of dresses. Very knowledgeable and experienced. Would highly recommend.”

“I needed a suit within a week and they delivered on time with no problems. Both Sam and Jamie were great to deal with, helpful, friendly and more importantly very knowledgeable. Really happy with the suit and the service 10/10!”

“I called up Adam and his sales director Jeremy three weeks before coming over from Belgium for a London weekend with some ideas on what I would like for two suits, asking if they would make any adjustments in a short time. Protests in London meant I could only reach them for a first visit on the Sunday, but by Monday early afternoon, not only had they helped select the perfect two tailored suits I needed, they had also adjusted them, made to measure. The quality of the tailoring is superb as are the materials. The greatest mod clobber experience I have ever had. Thanks.”

“Gabriel was great help and gave honest, patient advice while I faffed around not able to choose what i wanted. I cannot reccomend this store or Gabriel's service enough. Thank you”

“A***** from customer service was absolutely fantastic. I reached out by email about my order, and they sorted everything out quickly. I’m honestly so happy with the experience.”

“Outstanding service from start to finish. Purchased this dress for my daughter’s communion without trying on or going instore. Measurements were perfection, shipped in 4 weeks to ireland and i mean i cried when i seen it. The craftsmanship and detail in this garment was outstanding. Their communication and customer service was second to none. A dress to remember forever.”

“It's a different game ! I went there after my sister told me about a nice suit she bought a few years back and I was shocked,my fiancé aswell ! We bought two engagement dresses,one for the day and one for the party. The wedding dress it's absolutely stunning and the second one it's...yeah. Both of them are gorgeous! P.S. The prices are very good aswell ! Congrats to the nice lady that helped us ! She even gave me a nice belt for free because I bought enough things from her :)))”

“Visited Lakeside with the hope of finding an outfit for my sons wedding. First shop I went into and what a delightful experience it was. From the moment I walked in Jayne was so helpful and I came away completely fitted out and extremely happy. They even packed it up and sent it to my daughter as we were on the way home to Spain and didn't have room in our luggage. Couldn't recommend them enough.”

“Big shoutout to Esclot London for making my wedding day a bit more special. Aimal worked his magic and made the fitting experience special. Looking forward to my next purchase.”

“BRIDESMAID DRESS experience: We customised our bridesmaid dresses from Mysha London for our sister’s wedding. I can only say positive things about Mysha London! To begin with, we needed our dresses in exactly 6 weeks from the date ordered. Many places require a 6-8 week window period to produce custom dresses from overseas so we were already nervous of it not arriving on time. However, Mysha gave us their word and provided us updates of the dress journey so we knew what stage it was at and it also kept us at ease. The dresses arrived as promised and looked SO ELEGANT. One of our dresses turned out too tight but Mysha tailored it to her size within the hour as they knew we were very tight for time. The material was raw silk with a stunning embroidery at the bottom and top of the dress with a lovely net scarf. We received so many compliments at the wedding and it truly was a showstopper of a bridesmaid dress! So glad we were able to rely on Mysha for the elegant piece as we have made custom orders before from other places that let us down hugely. Highly recommend Mysha London for elegant and stunning bridesmaid/ bridal dresses with good quality material. Definitely looking to return in the future in shaa Allaah!”

“I had an amazing experience today! The quality is great and the staff is absolutely incredible, very helpful and friendly. I ended up getting two jackets. I’ll definitely come back very soon”

“Really lovely experience hiring suits from Impeccable for a wedding. They were helpful, accommodating and the suits were of excellent quality. Very pleased, 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Great experience, my son Ed and I got wedding suits for Ed's wedding there. Chet made the effort to get to know us and treated us like we were his only customers with attention to detail. He is now our "suit guy" for life.”

“Excellent experience at Belle Baby in Twickenham! We walked in without an appointment to explore strollers and baby essentials. Ermina, store manager, was fantastic. She gave us space to browse but was quick to help when we needed it. Her approach was perfect - asking questions to understand our needs and showing relevant items without any pressure to buy. She was very informative and even suggested we take time to think before making a decision. Definitely will recommend this store for expecting parents!”

“Stylish, Elegant & So Worth the Visit! Loved my first visit to Prathana! Found a gorgeous pre-draped saree and an Elegant pre-wedding outfit—so stylish and not overly flashy. Prathana herself—her impeccable taste and warm, personal touch make the shopping experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for fashion that’s graceful, modern, and thoughtfully curated, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back soon for the wedding outfit!”

“I don't normally write reviews, but I'm happily making an exception this time for RCKC Aurum London. I recently purchased an outfit from this store and I couldn't be happier with the choice of outfit, product quality and customer service! They have an incredible collection of clothing, tailored to suit every body type, skin tone, and size. The staff was friendly and helpful and provided quality recommendations well suited for me. I'm certain that I'll be a regular customer here, as their exceptional service and stunning selection make it a go-to destination for all my clothing needs. Thanks a lot, RCKC Aurum, London! :)”

“Great clothes, best in Sutton, lovely service”

“I have purchased several items of clothing from here over the years. The service is always spot on and nothing is to much trouble. The quality of the clothing certainly justifies the price tag as even with regular use the clothing lasts very well.”

“Very large inventory to choose from. Multiple options. Great staff and friendly environment. They even offer in-house tailoring in case alterations are needed for suits. The tailoring is some of the best work I’ve seen in a very long time and they got it done within 48hours. I highly recommend”

“Staff are a great asset to this store, the layout and offering for the professional man is spot on. Will, head of tailoring is extremely friendly, polite and always willing to help. Loyal customer of Hackett & this store.”

“Excellent service as always from Buket. I’ve been going to this shop for 3 years and she’s always very knowledgable and patient. My first destination for baby gifts when in London. They have a wide selection of dresses, cardigans and shoes. Thank you Buket !”

“Absolutely fantastic store, I’ve ordered several things online and have found communication and delivery really prompt. I have found when needing last minute gifts delivered to friends it is a fantastic service with items always wrapped beautifully. Really grateful to live locally to this fab store!”

“Just bought Chelsea boots, honestly hadn’t gone in with the view of buying today. Excellent service from your team! Very annoying because I bought but I’m looking forward to wearing!”

“It’s impossible to go in to this beautiful shop without buying anything - at least for me! If you are in to knitwear and great basics, a beautiful palette of lovely colours which always follow the seasons, this is a must visit. And my last favorite is my light green and white striped cotton shirt. Scandinavian simplicity when it’s best”

“I’ve shopped at Harvie & Hudson for a couple of years now. The quality of their products I have bought are excellent, and my most recent purchase of a plain navy cotton jacket was no exception. Personally I find the staff very calm and well mannered. They give you space to peruse, and when asked they are incredibly helpful in giving you their expert advice on the look of the outfit, whether the pairing works, and also what alterations would be best. Overall exceptional products at reasonable prices. The staff are calm, professional and efficient with their help and advice.”

“My Auntie has been wanting to buy my Uncle a tailored suit for a very long time and since they live in the Scottish Highlands the options of retail outlets for such a thing are in very short supply. So! On their latest trip to London we visited a few suit outlets to find exactly what Uncle Scott wanted. As we entered a few stores we could not find what he was after and none of them had any customisation options. After 3 visits to different shops we found Hackett and we found Mo. From outside we saw the window in the store and this invited us in and Mo approached us. He was so welcoming, so polite, funny and knew exactly what we were after. We asked for a linen suit and our experience kept improving as we were taken upstairs to a special room, he treated us all with respect and gave my Uncle a series of options in order to make the perfect suit for him. UPDATE: My Auntie and Uncle arranged to return to London 6 weeks after the initial trip to Hackett where the finished product was revealed to us in the very same room! Mo saw the suit before my Uncle and let him know by text that it was “Amazing”. He was not wrong! The suit fitted to perfection! The quality and personalisation of the product was second to none. Mo came in on his day off to give this to us which was exceptional. His hospitality was amazing and the sweet treats provided were delicious! His relaxed manner put us at ease. We would recommend Hackett and Mo to anyone. After a quarter of a century Uncle Scott now has the suit of his dreams.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Oxygen Mens and Islamic Wear is a fantastic store that truly stands out for its exceptional quality and customer service.** The range of Islamic clothing is both modern and traditional, offering something for every occasion. The fabric quality is top-notch, and the attention to detail in the designs is remarkable. Whether you're looking for something casual or formal, they have it all. The staff are always friendly and go out of their way to help you find exactly what you need. I was particularly impressed by their knowledge of the products and their willingness to offer tailored advice. Shopping here is always a pleasant experience, and I highly recommend Oxygen Mens and Islamic Wear to anyone looking for stylish and high-quality clothing. I will definitely be returning for future purchases!”

“Had a lovely experience at the store on Sunday. Neveen was very helpful and knew my exact size without me having to say. Really recommend her service.”
