Specifically, in which order to buy your
suits based off color when you’re building a wardrobe?
An important question to answer as we want
to maximize your spending power – the worse thing when buying suits is to
purchase one you love but can rarely wear as it’s not versatile or appropriate
for situations.
When it comes to suits and colors, some suit
colors are simply more useful and versatile compared to others.
I am going to rank suit colors starting with
the most useful and versatile so that it is easier for the man on a budget to
prioritize. The last colors mentioned would be nice to have for special
occasions but are not necessary.
Navy Blue Suit
The number 1 and 2 rankings of suit color in
this list may be interchangeable especially in North America. However, navy
blue edges out charcoal grey by a little as throughout the United States, navy
blue is considered the de facto color.
All stores specializing in men’s suits will
carry a navy-colored one. Navy suits are ideal for the man who wants to fit in.
He wants to be recognized for the effort that he puts in and not necessarily
what he puts on. Another advantage to a navy suit is that if a gentleman wants
to get it customized he can include a few fashion forward details because the
color is so simple and straightforward.
Charcoal Grey Suit
A charcoal grey suit is just about as
versatile as navy. The one advantage that it has over the former is that it is
more idea for the younger man as it can add a little more age to him.
Navy suits can make a young man look even
younger while charcoal grey does not have that same effect
Charcoal grey is extremely easy to match. As
that charcoal is firmly on the grayscale (absent of color – a neutral) it goes
well with a wide range of colors allowing a man to be more adventurous with the
shirts and ties that he pairs this suit with. When it comes to formality – this
is adequate for work, church, weddings, funerals, or meeting the president.
Cambridge/ Medium Grey
There are many shades of grey which means
that there is a marked difference between charcoal grey and medium grey. A
medium grey suit will be a little lighter compared to charcoal. In terms of
versatility it is still about equal to Cambridge grey.
However it is not as formal as charcoal grey
and navy blue although very few people and places will be able to tell the
difference. Having the three suits mentioned above will already make for an
extremely versatile wardrobe, especially if each suit had slight differences in
the details that go into them.
Light Grey Men’s Suit
A light grey suit is distinctively lighter
compared to its other grey brethren. This suit works well for spring, summer
and fall dressing. The light grey suit is more casual. It is ideal to invest in
one once a man has all of the “must-haves” in his wardrobe.
This shade is a great way to break up the
monotony of wearing the more usual shades. The lighter the shade the easier it
is to introduce pattern-such as checks or herringbone-into the suit as the
patterns are easily more visible.
Black Men’s Suit
The black suit only gets 5th place because
compared to the ones previously mentioned it is not as versatile. Black does
not work for every skin type. A black suit works well for a man with a darker
complexion and dark hair.
A black suit does not look flattering on a
man with lighter complexion and light hair- such as a redhead as it can easily
wash him out. Black suits are limited in their versatility due to the stark
contrast with anything else you are wearing.
A black suit is useful for the most formal
of occasions such as a black tie event. If you’re going to an event which
requires a tuxedo or a black-tie dress code make sure that your suit is truly
black. A black suit is also appropriate for funerals.
Dark Brown Men’s Suit
A dark brown suit can work if a man has dark
hair and a darker complexion. It can work for some blonds, redheads and for men
with ruddier complexions. A dark brown suit can be effective in adding a little
bit of color.
However those who choose to wear it should
exert caution as it is clearly not a formal suit. Never wear a dark brown suit
to a formal event or to a place where business dressing is taken very seriously
(world cities such as New York and London).
True Blue Men’s Suits
Compared to navy, a true blue suit can be
harder to find. The jacket to the left is an example – please note it is being
worn as a sport jacket hence the non-matching trousers. Public personalities
& politicians such as Prince William, Prince Harry and Vladimir Putin have
popularized the hue and it is actually a good color to wear.
A true blue suit is more popular in Europe
and parts of Asia. However it doesn’t score very high for North American based
gentlemen because it is simply difficult to find and less formal than Navy. A
man may have to consider getting a custom suit made if he wants a true blue
one. A great option if you own close to a dozen suits and want something for
weekend or events a formal color isn’t required.
White Men’s Suits
The final suit color is white. Unless you’re
a major personality such as Tom Wolfe- who made the white suit his signature
look – the white suit will more often appear as an oddity.
Wearing a white suit draws attention to
oneself. Therefore it can be ideal for events like white parties, or when you have
to make a major presentation and really command everyone’s attention.
However a white suit is not really a
necessity and men should not prioritize having it as part of their collection
