Navy Suits – Sartorial Him

Navy Suits

The navy suit is where we'd tell almost everyone to start when building a suit wardrobe because it covers more ground more convincingly than any other single colour. It works in formal professional settings with a white shirt and a conservative tie. It works for weddings and smart events with a pale blue shirt and no tie. It works in more creative environments with a knit underneath instead of a shirt. The range of shoe colours it accommodates is broader than any other suit too. Black works. Brown works. Burgundy works particularly well. Even a clean white trainer works with the right navy suit in the right context. The shade of navy matters more than people think. A mid navy is more versatile than a very dark navy which starts to approach black and loses some of the warmth. A fine wool or wool blend in mid navy is as close to a universally correct suit purchase as we can recommend.
