Black Formal Suit
Gentlemen black suit is the soul of all suits and it can be worn both as formally as well as casually, but there is a very slim line between both, so I would recommend to wear it in a formal manner, with formal black shoes only, there should not be any other combinations to try here because it will ruin the overall look and people may see you as Fashion Noob(which I personally do not want). You can try Black Neckties on a white formal shirt slightly hugging your Chest, moreover the belt should also be a black leather.
To enhance this look, you can wear a trendy watch(Timex preferred), it could be a leather strapped one to give a formal look. So this All black suit can and should be allocated only for official purposes like a business meeting, or an interview, or a client call, you got the idea, here is the list of items needed to give you the exact look like this gentlemen in the snapshot.

Classic Grey Colour Suit.
A light Grey Colour suit is usually lighter as compare with its other dim forms. This suit functions admirably for spring, summer, and fall dressing, and that implies you don’t simply have to bother on figuring out how to pick a suit tone and focus on picking the right shirt and tie. The light grey suit is more relaxed. It is ideal to put resources into one Grey Suit once a man has all of the “unquestionable requirements” in his closet.
This shade is an incredible method to break up the ever going cycle of wearing the more common shades. The lighter the shade, the more straightforward it is to present examples, like checks or herringbone, into the suit as the examples are easily visible. Here is the checklist to buy one for your own wardrobe.
- Grey Coat
- Grey pant
- Navy Blue/Black plain NeckTie
- Black leather belt
- Black Formal Shoes
- Watch Black Dial
Shirt and Tie Pairings
Now with your suits all set up, lets talk about what goes underneath and with what, I mean which colour Shirt and Tie matches with which Suit combination.
- All Black Suit: With an all black suit, only and only a clean white shirt goes and with a black tie, i cannot stress it more gentlemen, black is for an official purpose and it should be dealt with carefully. Make no mistake on this just get a white shirt and a black tie, thats it.
- Navy Blue Suit: With the Navy Blue, also the shirt remains the same and the tie is recommended a dotted blue, you can also wear a plain blue one, but not black. The belt colour should match with your boot’s colour and that should be Tan(recommended), a brown shoes would also be fine, but black would ruin the combination.

And to our surprises, these people also wear different suits in summers, because obviously a muffler in summer would turn a man into a walking fireball :). Anyway so heres what you would wear in each season apart of all the above mentioned above.
The above mentioned classic Suits can be worn in both summers and winters
Alright, with that being said, lets check out the summer’s Colour combination for men’s suits:
Tan Suit
Although Tan Colour Suit belongs to the family of Brown Suits, but we do incorporate it differently and wear this in summers and showcase our trendy style statement.
Tans Suits are better for medium tone men that I believe 60-70% of Indian Men are and hence makes it a better choice.
- Tan Coat
- Tan Pant
- Light Brown Necktie

- Black/Brown Formal Shoes
- Black/Brown Belt
White Suit
Ok here is the symbol of peace, White Suit is something that we do not see very often. If you are an average guy and not into leadership roles, like a society head, Team leader, CEOs, or a political figure, I would highly recommend not to wear this piece of beauty. For this specifically a tie is optional
- White Coat
- White Pant
- White shirt
- Black/Brown Belt
- Black/Brown Shoes
- Watch
For Winters the below two would be great and all above except white could also work but with a waiste-coat and muffler for protection.

Accessories for Finishing Touch
Accessories are the icing on the cake gents with a cherry on top, they play a crucial role in your look though, but without them the Suit looks to be missing something always, you cannot skip them, be it a watch, a pocket square or a tie. But make very sure not to wear a wrong accessory. Below are the list of items recommended as accessories for your Suit, I am not saying to go buy all, please improvise according to your suit and occasion, but make sure to get a watch, belt, formal shoes, these items cannot be mismatched.
- Necktie: Hoist your look with an exemplary silk tie, adding a pop of variety or pattern to your suit.
- Pocket Square: A very much collapsed pocket square brings flair, adding your suit’s tone with a touch of refinement.
- Cufflinks: These little subtleties have a major effect, giving a cleaned finish to your shirt sleeves.
- Tie Bar: Practical and smart, a tie bar keeps your tie set up while adding a dash of refinement.
- Lapel Pin: Showcase your character with a lapel pin – be it an exemplary blossom or an exceptional emblem, it’s an subtle statement piece.
- Watch: A beautiful watch is a flexible extra, supplementing the general stylish of your suit and adding a hint of refinement. I would recommend a Timex watch because that won’t be much expensive and will do the trick(Top 10 Timex watches of 2024)
- Belt: Matching your belt with your shoes finishes the look as well as improves the general congruity of your outfit.
- Collar Pins: Little and subtle, collar pins add a classic touch, keeping your collar set up while conferring a refined stylish.

Tailoring Tips
Fit is the Key:
Ensure that the suit coat fits well across the shoulders, with sleeves finishing at your wrist bone. The coat ought to fasten comfortably without pulling, and there should be sufficient space to move your arms. Trousers should sit at your regular abdomen and break somewhat over your shoes.
Length Matters:
Focus on the length of the coat. It must be covering your seat and following the bend of your back without appearing too short or long. Trousers ought to have a slight break at the front, making a spotless line without overabundance texture.
