1950s Vintage DAKS Lightweight Suit Advertisement – Simpson Tailored Menswear

Description:
This stylish and sophisticated vintage DAKS advertisement from the 1950s showcases the elegance of Simpson tailored lightweight suits for men. Printed in classic tones with a refined illustrated gentleman, the ad is a stunning example of mid-century fashion promotion. The copy reads: “It’s cool… it’s light, it’s a DAKS lightweight suit,” celebrating comfort and formality even in hot summer weather.

This original print has been mounted on black cardboard and measures approximately 18 x 25 cm. It reflects the post-war era’s emphasis on smart tailoring, lightweight fabrics like crease-resistant linens and gabardines, and the sharp, slim silhouette that defined mid-century menswear.

Produced by Simpson of Piccadilly, a premier British tailoring house known for its high-quality craftsmanship, this ephemera would appeal to collectors of retro fashion advertising, men’s vintage tailoring, and 1950s department store branding. It’s ideal for framing or as a nostalgic décor piece in a fashion studio or retail space.
