FORBES x SWM: Diogo Dalot
"The best suit I've ever worn."
As part of this collaboration, Diogo wore a timeless black three-piece suit tailored by Forbes to his exacting measurements. Forbes is a brand that is both retrospective and forward-thinking, thanks to the outlook of its founder Jim Forbes. Having started the business over 40 years ago, they have quickly risen to prominence in the UK thanks to the subtle combination of sartorial elegance and nostalgia with a twist of modernism.
In recent years, they have become the leading tailoring brand for sports and entertainment professionals all over the world and cemented a reputation for contemporary tailoring and understated luxury menswear, a combination which aligns with Diogo's image seamlessly.
"My style is really low profile," he admits. "I like to wear something nice, but not too extravagant. I like wearing luxury brands, but they don't define me. The suit that Forbes made for me was amazing. I felt really confident wearing it - it was the best suit l've ever worn. Wearing a suit makes you realise it's a special occasion, so it makes that day a little bit more special."
