The most versatile suit is a solid navy blue or charcoal gray two button with notched lapels. 100% wool. It's a basic wardrobe element- a must have really.
For the office , wear it with a white or blue shirt and conservative tie. For clubbing, wear a more colorful or patterned shirt. Either go open collar or wear an edgier tie. Pocket square, of course. You can create great looks once you learn how to coordinate colors and patterns
Avoid black for a first suit-it is not acceptable in most traditional business environments
And get the suit fitted by a good tailor
Why is black not acceptable for business environments? What situations is it for then?
Also, is it better to buy it in a set or buy each item separately and put it all together?
FYI I'm looking for a suit for business networking events in NYC.
