Carl Wilson That can work, but a proper blazer really is apples to oranges where the in between really is just a sports coat. I prefer a double breasted blazer with distinctive buttons as it should be which is distinctly casual and different from a suit coat. Having an interchangeable wardrobe is great, but I try to be careful about going too far and making some articles redundant.
I don't know what your day gig is - but you make a convincing closing statement as a barrister/attorney. I was quite sold on the blue is best until this video. Well done.
Strictly my opinion: The quintessential grown man power suit will always be charcoal grey because its versatility as a statement suit is defined solely by the wearer: you can offset almost any color with charcoal, and pocket squares like the Hugo Boss maroon one in my profile pic or even browns add serious pop. I also have a killer heather grey flannel pinstripe, but charcoal is the main grey. As for Navy, it tends to be more inconsistent as a darker shade of blue depending on the designer and can appear almost black, especially after trips to cheap cleaners. The single biggest reason to buy navy over charcoal grey: when you get a GOOD ONE, the one you treat as an investment, the navy suit can be an absolute king-maker. Thanks to ya, O.G., you've done it again, Jeff! Salute!
In my opinion, the gray suit is the "grown man" suit, that "power" suit. Its definitely the most versatile of all and shoewise, can be worn with every color. I love it with that burgundy oxblood! 🔥 Ps..Lovin' that lapel and fit sir! 🙌
They do say if you're a younger man charcoal grey will make you look older and more respectable while navy adds a more youthful appearance to an older man. And also navy looks absolutely killer on men with a darker complexion
I was 100% sold on the navy suit being the only suit until you mentioned the colors of shoes. That did it for me. Grey suit wins. Also after watching the television series Breaking Bad, I feel in love with the color grey after seeing the character Gus Fring and the way he wore grey.
Cant go wrong with either but the game changer is what he said, versatility in the black shoes. Let me also add that a black shirt doesn't look great with a navy suit although there are some people that can pull it off. A black shirt with a gray suit looks great especially if you want to be more formal.
My first suit was that Navy Suit but that grey suit does it for me. 1. The grey suit can be worn for funerals where black may be a theme. 2. If you need some Navy. Go for a Nautical Navy Blazer with your grey suit trouser that will still give you a formal look for today's standards. 3. The grey suit is a killer night out or date look with a dark colored turtleneck and some black chelsea boots aka John Wick. Charcoal Grey for the win because most people will describe your suit as black when seen.
I think that a single-breasted Charcoal Grey 3-Piece (vested) Suit is the true "only suit" you need. I think that the vest is the key to maximizing the versatility of uses because, in a pinch, you can wear a dark-colored vested suit in a Black-Tie situation, so you won't need a tux (unless you're part of the wedding party). A dark grey like charcoal is respectful enough for funerals or most of the other few situations that call for a black suit but gives you more options for the shirt and accessory colors. Having a vest gives you one more separate to wear casually, and gives you the option to ditch the jacket and still look 'suited', which if you live in a hot area like I do in L.A. is crucial. You can also ditch the vest and wear it as a 2-piece if the situation is too casual for a 3-piece. IMHO a 3-piece where the vest has a back fabric that matches the front or has very little contrast is the ideal because the vest can be worn casually and not be obvious that it's from a suit.
Very impressed with the grey suit I am 50 I only have one suit and it's the suit I was married in it's charcoal and you just gave me the courage to go and get it tailored salute
The Style O.G. hey brother with me being a new subscriber I appreciate you going through your feed and acknowledging me that's what real people do thanks man appreciate it salute
Grey suits are underrated. On first thought they seem too conservative, but mid grey suits are extremely versatile. Grey pants go with almost anything, and you can add a lot of flair in the tie/shirt/square. Charcoal is the bland suit that you think mid grey is.
I've always thought it's the best idea to have at minimum a Navy blue suit and charcoal grey before adding a black suit. Just speaking on versatility alone, the combination possibilities are nearly endless with your blue and grey suits. Black...not so much.
In my opinion, you look better on that grey suit. Plus it fits better on a European scenario, like the one I live. Still loosing weight before taking the first step on the way to buy my only suit.
My two cents. If you absolutely will only have ONE suit for whatever reason, you should pick the gray, specially in a darker shade. The combinations of shirts, shoes and accessories are endless. Then IMO you can get a navy blazer that's slightly less formal than the suit and those two things together will keep you covered.
Great video O.G I just got fitted for a grey pinstripe suit from INDOCHINO this past Saturday because gray was the color I was missing. Thanks, OG Keep them coming Salute!!
You know O.G doing a post on Indochino would be great, going in and getting fitted at the store and the un-boxing when the suit comes is just the right style for your channel. and the custom suit was only $369
I definitely agree that fellas sleep on the gray suit, and I think what you said at the end of the video was something a lot of fellas sleep on with the separates is the weave, weight, and fabric of the suit. I would recommend a lightweight carded fabric or a twill which will dress down the fabric if it needs to be relaxed. Or I would go with a flannel for the fall, you pair those joints with some cords, tweed, or even a sweatshirt and dress shirt up under that bad boy and you're ooo killin em. Just saying. Great video as always fam.
When you first said that a blue suit should be the first suit, I thought to myself, "That's blaspheme!!!"...and then I subscribed (I don't believe that anyone should only listen to what they believe in but everyone should listen different views) However, I still think the grey suit is the best first suit, because you only have to be watching the color combinations on your shirt and tie (without even really factoring in the grey suit) With the blue suit, you have factor in the blue suit and the color combinations of your shirt and tie.
Hummm I'm not a guy but I love to see gray on a guy. I like the darker gray verses the light. Suit looks good bro ❤ however I think u can pull any color off and still look good. 😊 😊
Sos style question! Going to a funeral tomorrow morning should/can i wear a) slightly shiny woolen/silk black suit ( i want but i feel its not appropriatr) or b) classic navy suit
Lint shows up too heavily on dark colors. I hate it! With no lint roller always around, gray is going to be the best. In addition, I like the ability to combine pants, jacket pieces with either piece of a gray suit. With the right (self) stylist, even different blends of suit pieces could work with gray as the foundation. Thanks for the video.
Great content! Me personally I vote for the navy. They're so many different shades of colors you can play with when it comes down to navy. P.s. its been quite a while since I've seen any grooming content. I'm really interested and curious to know whats your beard maintenance routine. Salute.
I disagree a shark skin made out of light material can only be worn in spring or summer, charcoal only in the winter. Trust me you do not want to be wearing the wrong grey suit in the wrong season.
I would say it would also depend on your personality and/or your profession. Black shoes are often associated with conservative very formal offices if you were pair the navy with a pair of cap toe black shoes it could be a elegantly formal look. And if you get some extra dough you could opt for some oxblood or cognac brown shoes. If you are working in a more casual work environment like a tech or marketing company black shoes with a blue suit can come off a little pretentious so maybe you could opt for a great pair of classic white sneakers. Just a thought.
I'm saving up daily for a suit since my internship starts next summer. Slowly but surely, I will get that perfect suit.
I like it Bryan, keep saving Bryan..
The cheat code answer is the gray suit and then buy a Navy Blazer.
Carl Wilson great idea!
that is definitely the cheat code Carl!
Carl Wilson Appreciate that tip!
Carl Wilson That can work, but a proper blazer really is apples to oranges where the in between really is just a sports coat.

Was about to comment the same thing lol

perhaps a career change is in order...

Everybody is wearing navy and I don't want to look like everybody. Charcoal Gray is the most versatile colored suit in my opinion.
In my opinion, the gray suit is the "grown man" suit, that "power" suit. Its definitely the most versatile of all and shoewise, can be worn with every color. I love it with that burgundy oxblood! 🔥 Ps..Lovin' that lapel and fit sir! 🙌
Thanks for your input as always Denise!
The choice of suits depends on the one who is wearing it. Navy looks better on me than gray.
that is true Frederick!
They do say if you're a younger man charcoal grey will make you look older and more respectable while navy adds a more youthful appearance to an older man. And also navy looks absolutely killer on men with a darker complexion
Well said, and by the way, that suit you're wearing fits amazing.
much appreciated John!
I was 100% sold on the navy suit being the only suit until you mentioned the colors of shoes. That did it for me. Grey suit wins.
Also after watching the television series Breaking Bad, I feel in love with the color grey after seeing the character Gus Fring and the way he wore grey.
Appreciate the input Greg. Loved Breaking Bad
That looks like one of Sterling Malory Archer's suits.
now that is a high compliment!

Def. the gray suit. It looks sharp and is more versatile. Looks sharp on you Jeff!

My man Jeff looking like the next James Bond in this video.
Kind words indeed !

I agree on the grey suit, albeit the dark grey suit. I bought a light grey suit, and it stained easily
I'm going with the grey suit, O.G. Classic and it reminds me of Sean Connery in 007!
Bond....
The Style O.G. I meant to say as "007" not in.
Going for the grey I can combine better with black shoes and dark brown plus shirts black and white
Just got myself a grey suit. Wondered if i should have gotten black. This video is reassuring. 👌
glad to hear it Raj!
I've always thought it's the best idea to have at minimum a Navy blue suit and charcoal grey before adding a black suit. Just speaking on versatility alone, the combination possibilities are nearly endless with your blue and grey suits. Black...not so much.
I would have to grey for the same reasons you stated in the video. I love versatility.
appreciate the input Jaws2003!
I love the grey suit and wear it with a classic style vest that matches with it. Salute Jeff!
Hope your summer is being good to you mate.
Salute Kenneth!
Hello, I have very dark brown skin, I don't what colorssuits to wear.
Thanks so much for the information and tutorial greetings from
Chile !!!
Another great video like always. Thanks for the shoutout O.G!
You got it Philip!
My favourite OG video. Thank you. M.
Another point is that it's much easier to match the tie color. Almost every tie color can work with a grey suit
True!
Great video, Jeff. Sometimes, depending on circumstances, the only suit you need is your birthday suit :-)
true indeed Lou! lol
In my opinion, you look better on that grey suit. Plus it fits better on a European scenario, like the one I live. Still loosing weight before taking the first step on the way to buy my only suit.
appreciate the feedback Andre!
Sharp suit you're wearing, Sir! Is it the Neapolitan Cut?🔥
Still believe if only one suit or just starting the navy blue wins out. However if it's a charcoal grey it can work.
appreciate the input Michael!
What shade of grey is urs? Im having trouble in choosing from the different shades. Urs is amazing tho.
I just bought my first grey suit! So excited!
Nice York!
My two cents.
If you absolutely will only have ONE suit for whatever reason, you should pick the gray, specially in a darker shade. The combinations of shirts, shoes and accessories are endless. Then IMO you can get a navy blazer that's slightly less formal than the suit and those two things together will keep you covered.
That outfit is looking sharp Jeff!
appreciate it Tim!

I think I will Michael!
Salute O.G! You just sold me a charcoal/grey suit! Thanks✌😎🤘
Salute Riz!
What shirt color looks better to a medium-dark light shine gray suit? Casual, Thanks OG:-)
Grey suit only, Mr Salute

When you first said that a blue suit should be the first suit, I thought to myself, "That's blaspheme!!!"...and then I subscribed

b) classic navy suit
Classic navy..
The Style O.G. Thank you so much for the feedback much appreciated (:
OG, what do you think about a blue suit? Not a navy suit. More like a royal blue suit or dark on that spectrum.
I like it if you already have the basics covered Damion
