I would say at least 1 for most people including myself. I would probably have maybe 2-4. I am also a mixture of archetypes 1 and 4. I love suits but unfortunately have not had the budget or opportunity for a decent quality suit until fairly recently. I am planning to get my first 1 or 2 suits very soon. As a teenager I had a separate black jacket that wasn't altered and later an oversized black pinstripe jacket that also wasn't altered but I don't wear either because I outgrew the old jacket and the new one is still too big and even altering wouldn't be enough. Surprisingly I still received compliments from people who either mistakenly called it a suit or thought I was dashing despite the ill fit or not being a true suit. In that case I would be a mixture of 2 and 4 since I would only wear a suit once a week for church, possibly a bit more depending on if I'm going to an interview or some other event or if I just feel like it. I do prefer double-breasted but owning single-breasted as well will maximize the versatility factor.

I wore suits more before the pandemic - working in a hospital with sick patients and germs means I reserve my suits for the office and appropriate social affairs. My only issue with the suit is the idea that double-breasted is “more formal”. I don’t know that to be the case and I am broad enough that I always opt for single-breasted suit. That quibble aside, this is a great video.

Nice video. I like your channel. I'm definitely in the fourth group. I wear suits at least five days a week. I have about thirty suits and 6 sport coats. I don't always agree with some of your style tips. I think a black suit can be very good and essential piece in a man's wardrobe. It would not be my first suit but would be in my top 5. There is nothing more elegant then a black suit especially for an evening or daytime formal event. If it is accessorized correctly with the right tie and pocket square you can look like the most powerful man in the room. You don't have to look like you are a gangster, or attending a funeral. Also I think your pants cuffs seem a bit wide to me. Mine are between 1.25 and 1.5 inches. It seems to me that I would put a bit more of a break in the trousers. Sometimes it seems that your pants don't come down to your shoes. Lastly I would not do cuffs if you have a flat front on your trousers. I only put them on my pants that have some kind of pleat. To me it kills the silhouette if there are cuffs on the flat front. Again these are personal style choices. They are not hard and fast rules. You look very smart! I would like to add that when you get to level 2 or 3 you should consider custom made to measure dress shirts. I promise you that you will never go back to of the rack shirts again. They fit like a glove and you can really add your own style touches to it so it's like no other shirt out there. Congratulations on the success of your channel. Best Regards, J.A.

When I worked in a corporate setting I started with 3 suits which is what I would consider the bare minimum. 5 would have been more ideal. I would replace them frequently around every two years.

Ironically my company went casual so we only had to wear a dress shirt and slacks. My suits stayed in the closet.

Before leaving the Chairman shook my hand with a hearty farewell & was unaware of whom I was, I later told him in a meeting. He spotted my boss & co-worker assuming they were - walk-ins. Sadly that suit wore out both pairs of trousers & it went out of fashion. With our bonuses, I grabbed my work friend to be fitted for a proper suit.

Suits are primarily business attire. Sure, you can wear them to certain formal social occasions such as weddings and funerals but those don't happen all that often. So the real question is do you have to wear a suit for work? If the answer is no, I'd say a man get by with two suits. I'd recommend either navy or dark grey for the cold weather AND a mid or light grey for warmer weather.

I have 3 suits. A black 3 piece, a navy with a light pattern and a light gray with black in a tweedy fabric. I like to pair this suit with a black vest sometimes. That goes along with a half dozen blazers in different fabrics and patterns. Thing is I get a lot of wear in the cooler months with my blazers (I live in New York City) but as far as my suits go I might wear one maybe 2-3 times a year. I would love to get a 3 piece double breasted in a dark charcoal tweed but it will almost never get worn.

I’d say if you are going to be wearing suits every day, then 5. One black, navy, grey, brown, and tan. Like Steve Harvey said, from those 5 suits, you can make 75 different outfits. The tan pants go with the navy jacket, the grey jacket goes with brown vest, the black pants go with everything.

I LOVE suit's but do not get a chance to wear them more than 3 or 4 times a year. My suit isn't really a suit. I wear blazers with blue jeans really. Blue blazer with blue jeans, black blazer with black jeans etc. I find the jeans with the blazer more comfortable. But to most people these day's seeing me in a blazer,tie and blue jeans they think mistakenly I am in a true suit ! LOL. I have mostly single breasted blazers and a few double breasted jacket's ! Long live men looking nice and NOT sloppy I say. After watching this video I will probably go out and get a navy double breasted suit ! Thank's for the upload.

While I love suits, I don't often have an occasion to wear them. I usually settle with sports jackets (sometimes with ties and vests/cardigans) at work (uni). While I do own five suits, I only ever wear three of them: a wool-cotton, light brown glen check (my favorite), a worsted navy with unstructured shoulders and a black for funerals and academic events. I kind of want a light gray flannel suit (maybe 3-piece) and something linen(-blend) for summer, but I can't really justify the expense. I'll probably just get another jacket in either of those styles.

Mr Schneider, your TV Program is Very Good, we can include it as a Educational Program, because, Good Behaviour , can or should ou could be considered as field of Study and tool for everyday life. The only thing , I will suggest is to use any Baroque Classical Music as Thema Music of your TV Program. Good Luck ! and Best Regards ! :)

One thing on cuffs. I would never suggest having cuffs on a flat front pant. Cuffs and pleats is a good look, plain bottom and flat front is a great look, but cuffs on flat or plain on pleats looks goofy.
