Men's Fashion: Four Suits Every Man Should Have
I so like to see men in well fitted, appropriate body size suits. Every stylish man should have a (at least) well tailored one. Gives them a dapper look.
Navy; The Everyday Go-To
If you are a man and you — for some mysterious reason — can have only one suit hanging in your closet, it must be navy blue. A navy-blue suit is the most basic necessity in a man's wardrobe, up there with a pair of jeans and underwear. You can wear this every day of your life with a white oxford shirt and brown shoes and people will think highly of you (as long, of course, it fits correctly).
Gray; The You-Mean-Business Must-Have
Slightly less versatile and more formal than a navy suit, a gray two-piece should be your second investment when building out your tailoring wardrobe. If you have a job for which suits are the norm, not the exception, this is essential. As a general rule, the darker the shade, the more formal the occasion (which is why black suits should be reserved for funerals and black-tie events), so keep it light for a more youthful, relaxed look.
Khaki: The Casual, Versatile Standby
Yes, khaki or chino tailoring is most appropriate for the warmer summer months, but it's a laid-back essential that can work year-round, depending on how you style it. Yes, it'll look great with a chambray shirt and a knit tie, but it can also look cool yet offhanded with a well-loved T-shirt and a pair of beat-up white sneakers. Just don't take this one too seriously; feel free to play around with different, unexpected trimmings. And be careful when drinking dark liquids in this outfit.
Subtle Pattern: When You're Ready to Move Past the Basics
When you're ready to branch out, it's time to consider pattern. But be wary! No need to immediately dive into the deep end. There are plenty of brands that make suits that are patterned but understatedly so, suits that are just a mere riff on the mainstay wardrobe staples listed above. It's a way to add a little swagger to your daily uniform without looking like a try-hard.
