Two Piece Suits

The two piece suit is the foundation of professional dressing for most men and the reason it's held this position for so long is that it genuinely works across a wider range of situations than almost any other garment combination. The jacket can separate from the trousers and work as a blazer over different trousers. The trousers can work with a different jacket or a knit. When they're together they create a coherent formal look. This versatility is worth thinking about when you're buying because a suit where the jacket and trousers have some independence of usefulness gives you significantly more value from a single purchase. A mid navy or charcoal two piece in fine wool that's well fitted is the closest thing men's wardrobes have to a foundational piece and it's one of those purchases where spending properly once is dramatically better than replacing something cheaper every few years.
