How Many Suits Do You REALLY Need? | Menswear & Men's Style Essentials

About this video

Sacawa provides recommendations for how many suits different men should own based on their lifestyle and suit-wearing frequency. He categorizes four types of men—from those who never wear suits to style enthusiasts—and suggests specific suit colors, fabrics, and styling for each group to build a versatile wardrobe.

Key takeaways

• Sacawa argues that even men who never wear suits should own at least one dark navy or charcoal gray suit for formal events like weddings and funerals as a sign of respect
• Sacawa recommends occasional suit wearers own three suits in navy hopsack, mid-grey wool, and khaki cotton to cover any season and occasion
• Sacawa suggests men who wear suits for work maintain five suits including three year-round basics, one summer cotton suit, and one fall/winter flannel suit
• Sacawa advises that style enthusiasts focus on curating suits based on personal preference rather than need, exploring seasonal fabrics like linen, tweed, and various flannels
