The Secret of Suit Colors

By Victor Santerino

Choosing a suit color is one of the most overlooked areas in the quest for the perfect suit. This is because many men choose a suit color based on what color they like looking at rather than what color looks best on them or which color is best for the situation.

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.

Wearing a black suit to a funeral is a must. It is also usable in office situations and formal events such as award ceremonies. Men with slender bodies and extremely pale skin should try and stay away from this color as it has a tendency to make them look frail.

Blue suits are spectacular for interviews and office settings. They look best on slim to medium sized men with a light skin color. Slender body types with fair skin should seriously consider purchasing this color suit.

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.

Gray suits are pivotal colors that should be a part of all men's wardrobes. All skin colors and builds look good in this color. However, the optimum body type for a gray suit is somewhere between lean and medium sized.

Wearing a tan suit in a colder climate is a bad idea. This suit is reserved for spring and summer events. Medium and slender builds with darker skin skin shades look best in this color suit.

Suits come in many more colors than were covered in this article. However, the colors written about today are the most commonly worn colors on the market. As always thanks for reading. - 15683
