We believe everyone has the right to look good and feel good.
After a fateful experience with collapsed confidence at a high-profile corporate meeting in 2015, founder Lauren Warkentine realized her wardrobe directly contributed to her sense of power at work.
Lauren searched for suits and blazers that made her feel comfortable, feminine and powerful, but came up short at every turn. When she realized she was not the only one who couldn't find professional clothing that was affordable and helped her express her personality and values, Lauren decided to create what she could not find.
William & Lauren is on a mission to provide custom clothing for men and women that captures their personality and unleashes their confidence.
We are founded on the belief that "how you feel affects how you show up." We create custom pieces that make each individual client feel their best and show up ready to give their best. There’s a significance in putting on a custom article of clothing. It’s not a costume picked off the rack that you’re required to wear – it’s armor. Armor specially designed for you that tells the world exactly you plan to show up that day.
We believe, that when people feel confident, they present the best versions of themselves.
We also believe that custom shouldn’t be exclusive. Everyone should experience the feeling of custom.
Our Signature Process
You’re probably wondering how all this works. We’re happy to walk you through the process and get you excited about creating your custom look. And though it seems a lot, it comes together much easier than you’d think.
Starting at $679 or the price of most off-the-rack suits, you’ll receive custom-tailored clothing delivered right to your door.
William & Lauren sells custom clothing, but that is not why we exist. We exist to create confidence, opportunities and communities that empower people to lean into their own purpose.
We’re here to encourage you and ourselves to show up. That’s half the battle.
We do life together, in relationship
We don’t settle for good
We’re learners, not knowers
We focus on the small things
We share the fruit of our work
THE W&L WAY
Whether it’s designing a piece of clothing to highlight an individual and their personality or encouraging our staff to be learners, not knowers – we believe in helping people achieve a better version of themselves. We’ll always do our best to take exceptional care of the people in our care.
"I’ve always bought nice off-the-shelf suits. Hart Schaffer Marx has been the most recent brand I was buying. They were okay and got the job done. I thought the guys who look best in suits were tall, thin, and athletic. The truth is this is because off-the-shelf suits fit them better. I recently bought 3 suits from W&L and am thrilled with how they fit. The custom shirts are also a must!"

"I wore my suit for the first time at a speaking engagement. TALK ABOUT FEELING FLOSSY! Wow. I felt so powerful and also felt like myself! And I didn't have to tug my pants or adjust anything. Not even once. It just FIT. And the best part of this process is that Lauren SEES you. She's present with you in the process and focused on your style, personality, and vibe. She is so attentive to your needs. She's just as excited as you are when you find your style, fit, and fashion. I can't wait to get my next one!"

"William & Lauren SAVED THE DAY for my wedding several years ago, and their superb, unmatched customer service is why I continue to use them as my go-to source! I spent months searching for the perfect suit: color, style, fit. I quickly realized how out of control the pricing for custom (and even off the rack) suits are these days. Thanks to W&L, I was able to get a custom suit I hand-picked and designed for a fraction of the cost without compromising quality. If you're looking for a suit + dress attire of any kind this is your one-stop-shop!"

"I am over the MOON about the Women's line. Lauren provided top-notch customer services and I've never felt more confident in a suit. I'm 5'1 and finding off the rack clothes that fit is nearly impossible -- the custom suit is exactly what I needed! I highly recommend for anyone looking to invest in high-quality clothing at an affordable price."

"Great custom suits at a reasonable price. I provided my measurements online and selected the suit customizations I liked and received a great fitting suit several weeks later. Would highly recommend William & Lauren!"

"If you're looking for quality professional clothing, do yourself a favor and invest in custom pieces from William & Lauren! I can't tell you how much money I've spent on blazers and pants that don't fit me correctly. So when I found W&L and realized how affordable the custom pieces are, I was sold! I've also gifted friends and family with the custom button-ups they offer, and they're always a hit! Once you go custom, you won't go back!"
