Just a few of the kind and inspiring words sent to us from our wonderful clients and referral agencies.
from clients
“Stepping out after being inside, the world felt hostile. I knew I had skills, but I felt invisible, marked by my past. I looked at my worn clothes and realised I couldn’t walk into a job interview and command respect. That’s where Suited & Booted changed everything.
They didn’t just hand me a suit, they restored my dignity.
The fitting session felt like the first positive, non-judgmental interaction I’d had in some time. The tailored suit, polished shoes, and crisp shirt didn’t just fit my body, they fit my ambition. It was armour for the next battle – the job search.
Wearing that suit, I didn’t feel like an ex-convict, I felt like a professional. The confidence it gave me was immeasurable. I walk into interviews standing tall, speaking clearly about my future, not my past.
Thanks to the professionalism and belief this charity invested in me, I feel more confident I can secure the job I need.
This charity isn’t just providing clothes, they are providing the visual language of a second chance. They are quite literally bridging the gap between unemployment and purpose. Their work is essential, life-changing, and deserving of every ounce of support.”
“I was really surprised when I arrived at my appointment today and received shirts, suits, trousers, socks, belt and a pair of shoes! My eyes are filled with tears as I am typing this.
Thank you very much for all that you have done for me. I became very emotional when I was about to leave the premises and they realised that my jacket was not good enough for the cold and they offered me a long coat. Maria and the team offered me an excellent service.
I am really short of words, thank you, I am extremely grateful.”
“Thank you so much for suiting me up yesterday. The experience was like none I’ve had before. Yasmine was amazing and made me feel really comfortable throughout. She helped so much with picking the right suit that I felt comfortable in and made sure I would know what tie to match with the clothes.
Yourself, Yasmine and your team are amazing and I truly thank you for giving me the experience, I am now ready to attend my interviews.
Truly thankful.
“It was a pleasure to meet such kind people and meeting you guys did wonders for my confidence. I have successfully landed the job and I personally think a big part of that was how I dressed, they knew I was there to take it as seriously as possible, as I looked like it. Once again I can’t express how much I appreciate what you have done for me, and I wish you all the best in all your future endeavours.”
“I visited your wonderful organisation in February where I was styled and outfitted by your colleague for cv and interview advice. I’m happy to say the confidence I gained from attending my evaluation wearing a smart suit, complimentary shirt, and striking tie, as well as being armed with a professional CV and improved interview techniques, led me to being successful in my job application. I’m conscious but for the help and support you all offered, the job offer may not have transpired, so I just want to pass how thankful and grateful I am for the support from Suited & Booted.”
“I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support you provided in equipping me with professional clothing. Your assistance has made a significant difference, and I feel so much more confident moving forward thanks to your generosity.
A special thank you to Maria, Jan, and Monique for their kindness, professionalism, and guidance throughout the process. Your attention to detail and encouragement were truly appreciated.
I am also deeply touched by the hospitality you extended, providing me with a sandwich and coffee during my visit. These thoughtful gestures did not go unnoticed and made my experience even more positive and welcoming.
Thank you again for everything you do, it is inspiring and impactful. I am truly grateful for the time and effort you dedicated to supporting me.”

They have all spoken about how well they are treated, how nice all the staff are and how the service made them feel better about themselves and feel an overwhelming sense of positivity.
For the Londoners we work with, the Suited & Booted services not only give them quality clothing for interviews and/or training, but even more importantly it makes them feel good about themselves and leave with a newfound confidence and self-image.
A truly important and vital service to help create a better life.”

“I would like to take this time to thank you for not only the wonderful outfits that my client Omar received, but also the great hospitality and kindness from both yourself and Sarah. My client was so happy with all of the different styles of clothing and footwear, that he kept mentioning on the way back to South London how well we had both been treated. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you.”
