Whether it’s for your first job interview, graduation, christening, wedding, or a date, there are numerous occasions when you might choose to wear a suit. Regardless of the event, finding the perfect suit is a major accomplishment, and the color should match the setting. The most practical and timeless color for a first multi-purpose suit should be charcoal grey.
The color blue is also a popular choice—navy for traditionalists, cornflower for someone who prefers fashion above tradition, or even a sophisticated midnight blue.
Looking for a summer suit? Consider light colors and airy fabrics like linen, cotton, or a cotton blend. In anticipation of a gorgeous British summer, we would recommend our light yellow, blue, tan, grass green, or white striped alternatives. The sunnier the day, the brighter the palette you can get away with.
So it makes logical to think the same way about winter. You’ll want to wear a black suit to blend in since the days are probably going to be gloomy, gloomy, and dreary. Pinstripes or dogtooth checks can add some flair if you don’t want to follow the crowd, but be prepared to go with a thicker fabric as a winter suit must be made of wool or a wool blend.
A durable material will be most suited to puddles and rainfall because you might wear it every day. Heavy duty wool will also be a classic investment piece and will offer some warmth.
A clean white shirt (whether you choose a cotton, linen, or silk shirt) is your best bet for instant sophisticated appeal no matter the season or the event. Take note from primetime TV host Dermot O’Leary, who does a three-piece with panache, as it is an all-around wise decision! His suit is a light shade of grey, but it is always worn with a spotless white collar.
This is suit-appropriate for any event and can be worn with any type of suit (waistcoat optional). Additionally, we provide a variety of fabric choices, so you can be sure that your outfit will match no matter what you decide. Our knowledgeable shirts staff can offer recommendations based on a selection that includes herringbone, twill, and broadcloth.
You can now accessorize with a tie to give your outfit some personality now that your shirt and suit are in order. Everything else might be elegant and polished, but a flash of color at the neckline says a lot! Bright ties are a hint to the rebel in you.
Traditionalists of sartorial style will like your tie’s more subdued color scheme; grey, striped, black, or blue tend to complement your suit’s color scheme the most. If you really want to wow, pick up some matching socks as well.
Simple things have a positive impact.
