One of the very first aspects people will notice about a John Ferrigamo suit is the colour, so you need to spend some time thinking about this feature. Building a suit wardrobe takes time and you need to focus on versatility and quality. Black, gray and navy blue are the most popular suit colours because they can be worn to almost any type of occasion and are flattering of all body types. While it is important to have these colours in your wardrobe, they don’t have to be your only options, and the following guide will help you choose the right suits:
All-purpose suit
This a suit that can be worn to any occasion because it is appropriate and classic. They are ideal for those who do not need to wear a suit very often because this one suit can be worn to any function, whether it’s a wedding or a funeral or anything else in between. This suit must be versatile so that it can be worn to different types of formal gatherings and a charcoal gray, navy blue or black suit would all be suitable as these colours are professional, widely accepted and perfect for formal social occasions.
A second suit
Once you have a classic gray, navy blue or black suit, you can consider a different colour for your second suit, which can be worn to similar occasions but does not have to be worn to any specific gathering. You can consider a brown suit, a lighter gray suit or even a tan suit because having two different coloured suits will provide you with more options and will minimize the chances of people seeing you in the same suit twice in a row. Brown suits are less formal but very versatile, so you can wear them to casual events. The same is true of light gray suits and tan ones as well, so you can change your look whenever you don’t have to be somewhere too formal.
A suit for a specific occasion
Weddings, job interviews and funerals require specific suits, so you need to be mindful of the occasion. Most weddings are formal, so a tuxedo or dark coloured suit would be required. Outdoor weddings have different rules and a tan or light gray suit would be suitable. When it comes to job interviews, a certain level of formality is expected and an all-purpose suit is ideal as they are appropriate. Light coloured suits may be considered informal, so be careful when choosing your suit for an interview. If you are attending a funeral, it is expected that you wear dark colours because it is a somber occasion and black is considered the most acceptable.
