BLUE vs GRAY Suits | Which Suit Is Better? Charcoal vs Black vs Navy vs Blue
About this video
Centeno analyzes eight suit fabric colors—black, midnight blue, charcoal gray, navy, medium gray, true blue, light gray, and light blue—evaluating each across three factors: formality level, opportunity to wear on a day-to-day basis, and interchangeability with other wardrobe items. He provides recommendations on which colors work best for different situations and explains the trade-offs between formality, versatility, and memorability.
Key takeaways
- Centeno reserves black and midnight blue suits exclusively for black tie and white tie events, arguing they’re too formal for regular business wear
- Centeno considers charcoal gray and navy the most versatile business suit colors, offering excellent interchangeability with various shirts, ties, and shoes
- Centeno argues that memorable suit colors like true blue and light blue limit rotation options and should be chosen based on specific use cases rather than as foundational wardrobe pieces
