The piece

How to choose and wear a suit

A jacket and trousers cut from the same fabric. The most formal everyday outfit, and still the answer for weddings, interviews and formal offices.

How to choose

Navy first, charcoal second: between them they cover almost every occasion.
Worsted wool in a mid weight is wearable most of the year.
Notch lapels and two buttons are the most versatile style.

How suit should fit

Shoulder seams ending at the shoulder, jacket covering the seat, sleeves showing about 1 cm of shirt cuff.

Common mistakes

✕Shoulders too wide or too narrow: the one thing a tailor can't fix.
✕Brown shoes with a black suit.
✕Leaving the bottom jacket button fastened.

Care: Rotate between wears, brush and hang on a shaped hanger; dry clean rarely.

In a capsule: Only for a capsule that covers formal events; its jacket and trousers can also be worn separately.

The details

Length and fabric

What makes the colours above look deliberate.

Length: Jacket sleeves should show about 1 cm of shirt cuff; trousers with a slight break; shoes darker than the suit.
Fabric: The same grey in a different weight: cotton or linen for summer, wool, flannel or heavier cotton for winter.

Avoid

What not to wear with grey suit

**Skip the camel sweater.** A sweater is more casual than a suit, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: grey and camel are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
