If A Man Owns One Suit What Color And Style Should It Be? Men's Fashion Advice

About this video

Centeno addresses how to select the optimal color and style for a man’s single suit, emphasizing that solid navy or charcoal are the most versatile choices depending on age and hair color. He explains why single-breasted two or three-button suits with specific trouser features offer the best balance of formality and adaptability across various occasions like weddings and funerals.

Key takeaways

• Centeno recommends solid navy or charcoal as the only suit colors for versatility; he suggests charcoal for younger men or those with graying hair, and navy for older men with retained hair color
• Centeno advises against striped suits, black suits, light colors, or unconventional shades for a first suit, as they lack the formality and versatility needed for major life events
• Centeno argues for single-breasted, two or three-button construction with double vents when possible, and recommends trouser styles based on body type—flat fronts if fit, pleated fronts if overweight—with cuffs for pleated styles
• Centeno emphasizes that proper fit is critical and recommends professional tailoring for $50-100 to transform an off-the-rack suit from sloppy to sharp
