Men's Suit Color Video Guide - Charcoal - Light Grey - Navy Blue - Black - Brown - Tan - White

About this video

Centeno provides a comprehensive guide to suit colors, explaining the versatility and appropriateness of each color option for different occasions and skin tones. He argues that charcoal grey and navy blue are the most versatile choices for a first suit, while addressing the strengths and limitations of black, grey variations, tan, brown, blue, and white suits.

Key takeaways

• Centeno recommends charcoal grey as the most versatile first suit color, suitable for funerals, weddings, and job interviews, as it avoids the starkness of black
• Centeno argues that navy blue is the second-best choice for a first suit and is nearly as versatile as charcoal grey, though slightly less formal
• Centeno suggests that black suits work best on men with dark hair and darker skin tones, as they can appear overpowering on lighter complexions
• Centeno recommends medium grey, tan, and light grey as excellent second or third suit options, with light grey being particularly suited for summer wear
• Centeno contends that brown suits convey trust and help men stand out, making them useful for business settings, though they work best on men with brown or dark hair
