Therefore, a man's sartorial choices when it comes to colors and business suits tend to be quite limited, but this doesn't mean there are no ways of looking great.
There are a few classic (and new classic) colors that is hard to go wrong with.
Charcoal. For those who want the sternness of black, but with a more toned down and friendly vibe, charcoal is a great way to go.
Gray. For a youthful and dynamic look, you can go for a gray suit.
Dark blue. If your workplace allows it, dark blue is a wonderful option for a suit, especially in a more relaxed business environment.
Beige, khaki, brown. In theory, every neutral would go well. In fashion, neutrals are colors that go with any color. These are beige, khaki, brown, ivory, tan, etc. These colors are OK, but it is most likely that you won't look really good in them, since they are quite dull and suits cover a lot of your body, making you look rather boring.
As an important note, it needs to be pointed out that mixing colors (grey jacket and blue pants) doesn't really go with serious business environments, but it might work in more relaxed settings. The reason is that such a combination makes the look seem unintentional: it looks like you forgot to give your jacket to the cleaner's.
Also, wearing bright colors is still a major taboo in the corporate world, even though colors such as burgundy are sometimes being accepted.
Having a good suit is a must for every man. Suits are go-to outfits for work and for any other situation, especially if you don't know what to wear.
