Unconventional Suit Colors for Men - Should You Wear Bold or Loud Suits?
About this video
The Gazette team explores unconventional suit colors beyond the traditional navy, gray, and brown palette, teaching viewers how to identify foundational colors for beginners, assess occasion-appropriate choices, match colors to skin tone, and successfully incorporate bolder hues into their wardrobe by balancing them with neutral elements.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team recommends starting with foundational suit colors like charcoal gray, navy, and darker brown shades, which offer versatility across occasions and skin tones
- The Gazette team advises considering context—occasion, season, location, and skin tone—when selecting unconventional suit colors to ensure they look appropriate rather than out of place
- The Gazette team suggests avoiding visual confusion by limiting bold colors to one or two accent pieces while keeping the rest of the outfit in neutral tones, and breaking up bold-colored jackets by pairing them with neutral trousers
