Antonio, I have been a Subscriber for the past few years, I love your content. Unfortunately I have to disagree with the fact that midnight blue or black suits work for black and white tie. Black tie means a black or midnight blue suit with satin lapels. And white tie means tails.

I own 14 suits (used to be a consultant). My favorite, by far, is black pinstripe suit by Brooks Brothers. With a solid color tie, it doesn't look 'Black' or 'White' Tie event.

This series is great. It helped me realize that things I like on other people don't necessarily look the best on me. It's something I would definitely not buy anything new without checking out first. Even the watch video from before. In this video I would have liked to see a comparison between these colors with and without pinstripes, but I am sure there a whole separate one for that. I am glad you mentioned overseas environments as well. When I was working in Tokyo it was very different. Thanks and keep it up.

I have a selection of navy and grey to charcoal suits but my favourite one is my dark blue suit. It's somewhere between blue and navy and is a little bit more modern but I think it looks really sharp. It's also very versatile and might be the perfect colour for a blazer imo so I can wear it with non-matching slacks/chinos/jeans etc

Great article Antonio. One thing I'd like to point out for black suits is I'd recommend either peak (for short to average height people) or shawl lapels (for above average to tall people) as opposed to notch lapels. I've always felt like notch lapels are geared for business or casual style wear.

I've always said your first suit should be a navy suit, most universal. Your second suit, and your least worn suit, should be black. Saved just for formal occasions and funerals. From there you can add a grey or a seasonal suit but I would recommend considering a tux, depending on your job of course

@xjimmy225x 9 ай бұрын

@@justStardust940nothing wrong with midnight blue but you'll have more selection diversity with navy. Black, dark brown, cognac and light brown shoes/belt all go with navy. You'd be limited to black with midnight, maybe a dark brown

@badgasaurus4211 2 ай бұрын

@@gabbbbbz No, if anything black is more restrictive. Brown shoes with black doesn't work. Blue shirts with black don't work. Plus, wearing black screams funeral or the most formal of scenarios excluding the specific dress codes like the semi-formal black tie and formal white tie. Navy is far more versatile. Weddings, interviews, business meetings, graduations etc. You aren't wearing a black suit to a wedding or graduation.

I just bought my first two suits. Custom made here in thailand before I head back to Vegas for a business event. I'm a big guy and not used to dressing sharp. I usually sweat a lot and just wear what's comfortable. I decided to go with a dark blue suit (not navy) and a light grey. Since it's sweltering 3 months out of the year and hot for 6-7, I think I'll get more mileage out of these colors. I also went with an aqua blue linen blazer. When I saw the jacket for the first time tonight, the color is so much LOUDER than I expected from the swatch. I hope I'm able to pull it off. It just goes to show that when having custom clothing made, it always comes out looking a bit different than you picture in your head. The blue suit is perfect. The linen blazer is a bit too light and bright. I hope the light gray comes out looking good.

I own two suits: a black one and a light gray one, both from Zara. I use both quite regularly, and I never get tired of them. Don't forget you can play around your suits and use them separately. Example: brown brogues + navy slacks + light gray "sports jacket" (the suit jacket). Or... black dress shoes + gray suit pants + black suit jacket. The other items (tie, PS, shirt, and others) will easily give richness to your outfit if you choose the right colors.

I also bought a black pinstripe and navy pinstripe along with a charcoal gray suit I had owned before retiring. But what I have a lot of are 7 sports coats an blazers that I mix and match with dress slacks. When I was working in DC wearing a coat and tie was mandatory but now that I'm working for the Navy in Monterey wear everyone wears jeans and gym shoes, I have given up the tie but not the rest.

My approach has been to have multiple navy suits with rotation...different liner / accent button color coordinated with the tie. No other suit color. When I started, I used charcoal, but gravitated to navy because everyone around me was wearing charcoal. When I was in law school, all the young (I was in my 30s, they were out of college) bought black suits for daily office wear as law clerks. One bought a black zoot suit with white chalk lines. They wouldn't listen to experience. They looked silly.
