Everyone needs a nice suit, even if you don't have to wear one every day. When it comes to suit colors, black suits, navy, and charcoal suits are your three cornerstone colors. If you're picking out your first suit, Navy is the ultimate entry-level, all-purpose choice. You can wear a navy blue suit to work, weddings, date night and many other formal events without anyone batting an eye. Navy works with almost any undershirt and tie combination, and it's a forgiving color for any skin tone as well.

Navy suit style tips:

The first choice you'll have to make is either going with a solid navy, plaid or pinstripe design. Solid navy is classic and literally impossible to mess up (unless you pick the wrong fit). Plaid, also known as windowpane, is another option. Plaid suits stand out more and can be a good conversation starter. They've got a lot of texture and looks great when made from fabrics like wool. When it comes to the undershirt, a safe bet is a plain or solid-colored dress shirt - we always recommend keeping a couple colors handy. If you want to spice it up, check out our patterned dress shirts. Patterns look great under a solid navy suit and add a bit of fun to your look.

Finding your fit:

When ordering your suit or tuxedo, you'll have the option to pick a fit for the blazer, and the dress pants. Our blazers come in 4 fit options: Slim fit blazers, athletic fit, standard and straight. The dress pants come in 5 fit options including tailored fit. Once you know which fits you need, just pick the blazer size and pant waist, and you're ready to order. If this is your first time buying, we recommend stopping by our guideshops to get measured.
