What is the most popular suit color today?

By January 2, 2015No Comments

Based on activity over the past year, a charcoal gray suit would be the clear choice.

Within the color “charcoal gray”, one has several interesting fabrics from which to choose.  The first would be a traditional small twill gabardine.  This is the fabric most commonly found off-the-rack from big boxes to better specialty stores.  Another fabric choice would be a gray flannel.  Flannel is my favorite fabric for cooler months in the Northeast from November through February.  Many guys prefer an all-season fabric, rather than seasonal choices.

Overall, customers tell me that they prefer, however, today’s “sharkskin” which has a slight sheen…but nothing like what DiNiro wore in Casino (which I happened to see the other night surfing through my new DISH network!).

Below is a great sharkskin suit.

This suit is detailed with a very cool yet subtle red polka dot lining.  The shirt is a micro check in light blue.  The tie continues the lining theme with a great red/blue polka dot in a hand-made, five-fold version.

Watch for more ideas for building your wardrobe this year and have a great 2015!
