Choosing Mens Suit- A Focus On Color
The Triad: Navy Blue, Black and Charcoal Gray these three colors dominate the men’s suit industry, and
for good reason.
Navy Blue: Those with a very light complexion need to pair navy blue with rich colored shirts; a white or
ice blue shirt will drain the color right from their face. Finally, young men are advised to avoid this color
as that it has a habit off accentuating youth.
Black: No other color has such a slimming effect. The key to wearing black is being a high contrast
individual, a man with dark hair with light to medium colored skin. The effect is a properly framed face to
where all the attention is drawn.
Charcoal Gray: It is an excellent choice for a first suit, especially for young men as that it does
accentuate youth (unlike Navy Blue).Possibly the most versatile color, it looks good with almost any
colored shirt imaginable.
Brown: Brown ranges from a light through a deep chocolate hue. It is also a popular color for causal
options including tweed suits and sports jackets.
Tan: The navy suit for warm weather, tan is an excellent choice. Less flashy than white, it none the less
commands attention and can set you apart from the crowd while keeping you cool.
Taupe: A color that falls between gray and brown, taupe is a great choice for the man who has a couple
of the basic colored suits in his wardrobe and is looking for a color out of the ordinary that still maintains
a professional appearance
Light Gray: Light gray is an excellent choice for any complexion. Live in a warmer climate? Then light
gray is appropriate year round. The light gray suit pairs well with white, light blue, and almost any pale
colored shirt, although if you are light complexioned you may want to go with a bolder hue. White The
Classic color of summer. White compliments all but the lightest complexions, and even then the right shirt
choice can remedy that situation.
