    The cheat code answer is the gray suit and then buy a Navy Blazer.

      Carl Wilson That can work, but a proper blazer really is apples to oranges where the in between really is just a sports coat. I prefer a double breasted blazer with distinctive buttons as it should be which is distinctly casual and different from a suit coat. Having an interchangeable wardrobe is great, but I try to be careful about going too far and making some articles redundant.

    Strictly my opinion: The quintessential grown man power suit will always be charcoal grey because its versatility as a statement suit is defined solely by the wearer: you can offset almost any color with charcoal, and pocket squares like the Hugo Boss maroon one in my profile pic or even browns add serious pop. I also have a killer heather grey flannel pinstripe, but charcoal is the main grey.
    As for Navy, it tends to be more inconsistent as a darker shade of blue depending on the designer and can appear almost black, especially after trips to cheap cleaners. The single biggest reason to buy navy over charcoal grey: when you get a GOOD ONE, the one you treat as an investment, the navy suit can be an absolute king-maker.
    Thanks to ya, O.G., you've done it again, Jeff! Salute!

    In my opinion, the gray suit is the "grown man" suit, that "power" suit. Its definitely the most versatile of all and shoewise, can be worn with every color. I love it with that burgundy oxblood! 🔥 Ps..Lovin' that lapel and fit sir! 🙌

    I was 100% sold on the navy suit being the only suit until you mentioned the colors of shoes. That did it for me. Grey suit wins.
    Also after watching the television series Breaking Bad, I feel in love with the color grey after seeing the character Gus Fring and the way he wore grey.

  • @jasonackerman9453
    @jasonackerman9453 6 років тому +4

    I think that a single-breasted Charcoal Grey 3-Piece (vested) Suit is the true "only suit" you need. I think that the vest is the key to maximizing the versatility of uses because, in a pinch, you can wear a dark-colored vested suit in a Black-Tie situation, so you won't need a tux (unless you're part of the wedding party). A dark grey like charcoal is respectful enough for funerals or most of the other few situations that call for a black suit but gives you more options for the shirt and accessory colors. Having a vest gives you one more separate to wear casually, and gives you the option to ditch the jacket and still look 'suited', which if you live in a hot area like I do in L.A. is crucial. You can also ditch the vest and wear it as a 2-piece if the situation is too casual for a 3-piece. IMHO a 3-piece where the vest has a back fabric that matches the front or has very little contrast is the ideal because the vest can be worn casually and not be obvious that it's from a suit.

      @TheStyleOG  6 років тому +1

      Appreciate the input Jason!

  • @stephen4347
    @stephen4347 6 років тому +3

    My first suit was that Navy Suit but that grey suit does it for me.
    1. The grey suit can be worn for funerals where black may be a theme.
    2. If you need some Navy. Go for a Nautical Navy Blazer with your grey suit trouser that will still give you a formal look for today's standards.
    3. The grey suit is a killer night out or date look with a dark colored turtleneck and some black chelsea boots aka John Wick.
    Charcoal Grey for the win because most people will describe your suit as black when seen.

  • @ewd31989
    @ewd31989 5 років тому

    Cant go wrong with either but the game changer is what he said, versatility in the black shoes. Let me also add that a black shirt doesn't look great with a navy suit although there are some people that can pull it off. A black shirt with a gray suit looks great especially if you want to be more formal.

    Grey suits are underrated. On first thought they seem too conservative, but mid grey suits are extremely versatile. Grey pants go with almost anything, and you can add a lot of flair in the tie/shirt/square. Charcoal is the bland suit that you think mid grey is.

  • @bernalm3067
    @bernalm3067 5 років тому +2

    My two cents.
    If you absolutely will only have ONE suit for whatever reason, you should pick the gray, specially in a darker shade. The combinations of shirts, shoes and accessories are endless. Then IMO you can get a navy blazer that's slightly less formal than the suit and those two things together will keep you covered.

      I've always thought it's the best idea to have at minimum a Navy blue suit and charcoal grey before adding a black suit. Just speaking on versatility alone, the combination possibilities are nearly endless with your blue and grey suits. Black...not so much.

  • @undecidedgenius
    @undecidedgenius 6 років тому

    When you first said that a blue suit should be the first suit, I thought to myself, "That's blaspheme!!!"...and then I subscribed
    (I don't believe that anyone should only listen to what they believe in but everyone should listen different views)
    However, I still think the grey suit is the best first suit, because you only have to be watching the color combinations on your shirt and tie (without even really factoring in the grey suit)
    With the blue suit, you have factor in the blue suit and the color combinations of your shirt and tie.

    Lint shows up too heavily on dark colors. I hate it! With no lint roller always around, gray is going to be the best. In addition, I like the ability to combine pants, jacket pieces with either piece of a gray suit. With the right (self) stylist, even different blends of suit pieces could work with gray as the foundation. Thanks for the video.

    I definitely agree that fellas sleep on the gray suit, and I think what you said at the end of the video was something a lot of fellas sleep on with the separates is the weave, weight, and fabric of the suit. I would recommend a lightweight carded fabric or a twill which will dress down the fabric if it needs to be relaxed. Or I would go with a flannel for the fall, you pair those joints with some cords, tweed, or even a sweatshirt and dress shirt up under that bad boy and you're ooo killin em. Just saying.

      I would say it would also depend on your personality and/or your profession. Black shoes are often associated with conservative very formal offices if you were pair the navy with a pair of cap toe black shoes it could be a elegantly formal look. And if you get some extra dough you could opt for some oxblood or cognac brown shoes. If you are working in a more casual work environment like a tech or marketing company black shoes with a blue suit can come off a little pretentious so maybe you could opt for a great pair of classic white sneakers. Just a thought.
