Today marks a special day in our journey: suite123 turns 18!
Dear Beloved Community, 18 years of sharing, love, laughter, tears, support, and yes, often drinks!

Our journey has been one of evolution, adaptation, growth and dedication. When we embarked on this journey nearly two decades ago, we never imagined the incredible experiences that awaited us.

As an independent, women-owned family business, suite123 has always stood for something more than just fashion. In fact, it’s a place for those who cherish good design, unique aesthetics, and meaningful connections.

In a world where fashion trends come and go, we’ve always believed in something more profound: the power of timeless style, self-expression and the beauty of individuality.

suite123 Milano: the most exclusive fashion selection

For 18 years, we’ve been committed to offering a carefully curated selection of international designers and independent brands, plus unique Japanese brands. An exclusive selection of niche fashion for modern humans. Each piece is meticulously chosen to offer something really worth purchasing. Clothes that speak to your essence and embrace the ethos of quality over quantity.

The past couple of years have brought unprecedented challenges, pushing us to adapt and evolve. The shift to the online world was not just a response to the pandemic but a testament to our resilience and determination to continue serving our community, no matter the circumstances.

As we celebrate this day, we extend our deepest gratitude to our cherished community – those who have been with us from the beginning and those who have recently joined our journey. Your unwavering support, shared laughter, and meaningful conversations have enriched our lives in countless ways.

So here’s to 18 years of style, connection, and sharing! Here’s to the memories we’ve created, the friendships we’ve forged, and the dreams we continue to chase together. And here’s to each and every one of you who has made this journey possible.

The White Shirt

24 March, 2023

Revisiting a timeless garment for a minimal lifestyle

Today we introduce a timeless garment: The White Shirt by Good Neighbors Shirts.

This Japanese shirt brand creates timeless pieces with an edgy touch. Its design code is innovative and conceived for a minimal lifestyle. Indeed, it provides stylish and comfortable details, but the image is quite understated. Also, born as a unisex brand, it talks to those who feel free to express their personality through style but do not care about gendered labels.

Discover The White Shirt

About the design
This shirt comes in two versions: a button-down or a mao collar. The silhouette is wide, with a comfortable fit. One front open pocket and one slip pocket on the right side for your cell phone or wallet. A contrasting rubber band along the back adds a point of graphic design. It is detachable, and you can wear it as a belt or as you like. Also, the hem design makes it look well untucked.
Takase shell button front closure. These shell buttons are the byproduct of the food manufacturing process, which would be otherwise wasted. Therefore they are considered sustainable.

About the material
100% cotton.

About the colour
The base is white with an orange or blue detachable rubber band.

Laundry
Wash by hand. Easy care product.

Styling tips
Shirts are seasonless. So, you can wear The White Shirt throughout the year by mixing it with seasonal pieces to make it suitable for a specific occasion. Also, the white colour is a true classic, easy to mix and match in limitless styling options. In springtime, try it underneath a cotton vest or a blazer. Unbuttoned and untucked above a tank top for your casual style. But don’t forget to take it with you to the beach!

International Shipping available!
We are based in Milano but ship our niche fashion selection #formodernhumans everywhere.

The Flannel Shirt

10 February, 2023 / Leave a Comment

How to refresh your wardrobe with just one piece

The Flannel Shirt – proposed in various shapes, comes from the new brand we introduced from Japan, Good Neighbors Shirt.

It is a genderless fashion brand suitable for everyone – a design conceived for your life. Button-down, mao collar or maxi shirt: choose your favourite one to create your everyday uniform by mixing comfort and style.

As a general rule, since life took us to this point, to this deep understanding, we buy less. Much less! Because we understood we don’t need more. In fact, we need less but better. Yes, fewer pieces, but focusing on good quality and unique designs. Those are the features that define meaningful fashion items.

Styling The Flannel Shirt

In the end, you need just one piece to refresh your wardrobe of meaningful garments, the selection of clothes you build over time. By the way, that is the point of owning quality pieces made to last. You love them, and you feel pleasure in wearing them frequently.

Also, we like the idea of wearing our special ones not only for specific occasions, leaving them almost unused in our cupboard. Therefore we need something to match these garments in order to allow a less elaborated image.

We have created some outfits with the timeless clothes part of our selection, and the mix looks stylish! Specifically, the idea is to try these casual items to tone down some statement pieces of clothing in a modern mix-and-match.

However, we love The Flannel Shirt as an overshirt with a basic t-shirt underneath and straight-leg trousers.

The Mannish Shirt

8 February, 2023 / Leave a Comment

In the mood for a relaxed elegance

The mannish shirt is a wardrobe essential. When it comes to timeless fashion, you cannot miss some good shirts to complete your capsule wardrobe. Classic or casual, shirts are garments designed for life. Above all, they add a stylish edge to your outfits.

The Mannish shirt & contemporary fashion

Slim volumes – too close to the body, aren’t a style we like, so we tend to choose slightly oversized to oversized fit. Indeed, grabbing the shirts directly from a man’s closet is one of the best options. The mannish fit is more comfortable, and the silhouette looks modern and fresh.

In the mood for shirts, we selected Good Neighbors Shirts from Japan. We love its unisex designs, a style everyone can wear and make personal by revealing their personality.

However, we suggest starting with the check flannel shirts.

The Mannish Shirt — The Flannel Check Button Down Shirt – by Good Neighbors Shirts

1- The Flannel Button Down Shirt
2- The Flannel Mao Collar Shirt
3- The Flannel Maxi Shirt

These pieces come in check print (beige, black and white). While The Maxi Shirt is available in camouflage, too (100% cotton).

Good Neighbors Shirts: the design point

These well-tailored shirts come with a rubber band along the back, it is detachable, and you can wear them as a belt or as you like. Also, all the shirts have a pocket, on the right side, for your phone or wallet.

Styling tips
For preppy style lovers, layer your shirt underneath a sweater. You can wear The Maxi Shirt as a shirtdress or lightweight coat for the change of the season. Also, you can try these casual items to tone down some statement pieces of clothing in a modern mix-and-match. But we love these pieces as an overshirt with a basic t-shirt underneath and straight-leg trousers.
