It can be pretty disheartening opening the wardrobe day after day, being greeted by the same set of clothes and feeling uninspired before the day has even begun!
However, at Walters we think that wearing a suit every day for work, or for a special occasion, doesn’t have to be repetitive or boring at all!
There are many ways in which you can liven up your outfit, without being over the top, or it costing the earth. Below are some ideas to help bust those wardrobe blues as we enter the New Year.
Shirts
At Walters, we have a range of formal or casual shirts for you to peruse. Our Olymp range comes in a slim fit, and a modern classic fit and features several collar cuts which can be purchased in different colours.
They will leave you feeling sharp, elegant and ready to address your day with confidence. Should you want to really embolden your outfit to pack a real punch, then our Claudio Lugli range of bold printed shirts will certainly not disappoint.
These shirts can either be worn open necked or teamed up with our fabulous range of ties.
Socks
Underrated, and yet such an essential part of our everyday dress, socks are important for that feel-good factor.
At Walters, our range of Swole Panda bamboo socks will not disappoint; they come in 6 different colours and lots of different novelty patterns expertly made with hand-linked seams and a reinforced heel and toe for maximum comfort.
Swole Panda socks are produced in a way that is environmentally friendly and beneficial too!
Bamboo can be used for a variety of products and is widely celebrated, as it requires ⅓ of the amount of water that cotton does. It is actually the world’s fastest-growing plant, producing 35% more oxygen than trees!
Belts
Yet another unsung hero!
A belt is usually just a functional part of the outfit to keep the trousers in place, but we think that it should be worn in style.
At Walters we cover bases for both the formal and informal with our range of leather belts or our Swole Panda woven belts.
Meyer Leather jean belt:
Available in two colours, and handmade in Europe with high-quality full-grain leather, in an environment where fair and sustainable manufacturing is practised.
We think you will agree that our belts are a very special accessory, featuring contrast stitching, rounded and polished edging, and each belt undergoes a natural process called vegetable tanning to colour the leather, which is a fascinating topic in its own right.
Meyer Leather reversible belt:
Another beautiful piece of craftsmanship; handmade in Europe our reversible belt is a two-in-one masterpiece.
Made using Italian cowhide leather, this belt has a special mechanism on the buckle enabling you to utilise the plain black side to style it with a suit for business or event, and on the reverse, the belt has a fashionable reptile print in dark brown so that you can effortlessly switch between the two in minutes!
What better way to keep your wardrobe storage to a minimum?
Meyer Leather stretch belt:
Available in 3 colours, this genuine Italian leather stretch belt has been handmade in Europe using environmentally friendly vegetable tanning methods, meeting our sustainability requirements.
Designed for comfort and elegance, this belt is made with a stretch element to offer exceptional comfort to its wearer.
We think that comfort and elegance can absolutely go hand in hand, which is why this belt has been made with rounded and polished edges for that sharp stylish look.
Swole Panda woven belt:
We are exceptionally proud to stock these fantastic Swole Panda belts, made from a material that has been composed of roughly 7 recycled plastic bottles which have been recovered from the ocean.
They are available in 7 plain colours, and 11 different patterns of either zigzag or stripes.
Finished with a brushed zinc-alloy buckle and regenerated leather trimmings- sustainably made, these stretch belts team up fantastically with chinos, but if you wanted to really jazz up that suit with a bold splash of colour, why not wear one of these, knowing you have contributed towards saving our oceans?
Shoes
Footwear is arguably the most important part of our everyday attire. We believe that it is essential that you experience maximum comfort and support for your feet, whilst still achieving that sharp, stylish look.
Proper footwear is a valuable investment, as they not only protect your feet but help you to maintain posture and balance which is paramount to the overall health of your body.
Our BarkerTech range of calf leather shoes are designed and made in Northampton by a long-established company, and feature a flexible 3-part insole, a padded comfort tongue, removable antibacterial insock, and a leather sole with a rubber forepart.
We sell 3 different shoes in the BarkerTech range and we know they will compliment your suit perfectly, as well as offer the ultimate comfort that is needed as you go about your day.

Pocket Squares and Ties
Perhaps you don’t have the storage space for the bulkier additions to your wardrobe, but just want to add a splash of colour and boldness to your everyday attire instead?
Then why not experiment with some colourful pocket squares and ties?
We have a wonderful array of colours and patterns in our Van Buck range, and they really add that extra bit of fun to your outfit.
All our ties are manufactured in a factory located in a village called Sible Hedingham in Essex, which has been owned by the second generation of the Van Buck families since 1976.
They are made with fabric which has been crafted by the finest weavers and printers in England and Scotland, but also globally, from countries such as Italy, Germany, America and Asia.
At Walters we have a plentiful variety of colours and patterns; most popular are those in the liberty print range.
