You love your designer wear and paid serious money for it. You want to wear it but can’t because its 20 years old and out of style, but you’re not prepared to say goodbye just yet. Why not buy into sustainability and allow SCI- Network to give it new life.

Update the design let’s say, by reducing oversized lapels on a jacket, refurbish and repair minor defects by replacing and updating the lining, buttons etc. and if the garment now fits a bit snugger than it used to we may be able to give you a little “wriggle room”. Let your favourite female tailor take care of it and, deliver a revamped, renewed version that you can fall in love with all over again.

Alternatively… Here’s a fun, slightly cheeky take on what to wear for a classic date so you look suave without trying so hard it hurts:


👔 For the Gentlemen (or anyone rockin’ a suit vibe):
  • Shirt: A crisp button-down that says “I have my life together,” even if your laundry pile says otherwise.

  • Blazer: Optional, but highly recommended. It’s like armor—only instead of warding off swords, it wards off the “he didn’t even try” judgment.

  • Pants: Chinos or trousers that aren’t wrinkled beyond recognition. Dark jeans are fine—if you could wear them to meet someone’s mom without getting side-eyed.

  • Shoes: Leather shoes. Clean ones. Bonus points if they don’t squeak when you walk.

  • Accessories: A nice watch (even if it doesn’t work), a dash of cologne (just one dash, Casanova), and if you must—yes, a man bun counts as a statement piece.


👗 For the Ladies (or anyone feelin’ fabulous):
  • Dress or top/skirt combo: Something that hugs all the right places but still lets you breathe while eating pasta.

  • Shoes: Heels if you’re feeling bold, or flats if you suspect the date involves “a little walk” that turns into a 3-mile urban hike.

  • Accessories: Jewelry that says “I’m classy,” not “I raided a Vegas slot machine.” Bring a cute purse, not a suitcase.

  • Makeup: Just enough to make it look like you weren’t watching YouTube tutorials 10 minutes before leaving.


💡 For Everyone:
  • Fit matters more than labels: Even a T-shirt can look hot if it fits like it was sewn by angels.

  • Be weather-aware: Shivering is not seductive. Neither is sweating through your outfit.

  • Confidence is key: If you walk in like you own the place (or at least like you didn’t just trip on the curb), you’re golden.
