Choosing A Suit Color Made Easy

By Victor Santerino

The most ignored area of a suit purchase is undoubtedly the suit color. Many men feel that they should choose their suit color based off of what color they like best. However, what men really need to look at before choosing a color is which color works best for them.

This article was crafted to give men a better idea of what color they should wear. Areas evaluated are skin hues, special occasions, and body frames. The colors we will talk about are brown, gray, tan, blue, and black.

The black suit is great for both formal and somber events such as funerals, proms, and weddings. This suit looks good on all skin colors and is acceptable for all different body types. However, you will find that this color does have a slimming effect and will look best on larger frames.

The blue suit is best for the office and is the number one interview suit, (also known as the power suit). Men with lighter skin shades will look better in this color than men with darker skin shades. All body types look good in this color but thinner men benefit from it the most.

Wearing a brown suit is useful when you want to separate yourself from the majority without appearing flashy. You can wear this color to the office and to most formal occasions. Men with darker skin look best in this color. Small to large body types can all wear this color.

The gray suit is a staple for any mans wardrobe. This suit comes in varying shades of gray but if you can only buy one make sure it is charcoal gray. Men with medium builds look best in this color. All skin shades look fantastic in this color on any day of the week.

The tan suit is a nice suit for spring and summer weather. This suit can be worn to outdoor social events and less formal office settings. Men with large builds or light skin colors should avoid this suit as it is not very flattering for them.

I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. Use the knowledge of this article to help aid you in your next suit purchase and you will be glad you did. - 15465
