I saved a post some guy made on the old /fa/ board we had before the site got deleted.

>Black - intimidation and power
>Blue - friendly and open
>Brown - reliable
>Grey - intelligent
>For a job interview I'd suggest blue. Never ever black.

>You should always wear a white shirt with a black suit and then any tie.
>For other suits, pick a non-clashing non-same colour shirt and then match it with the tie. Tie is never lighter than the shirt.
>Also match your shoes to your belt, I'd only ever really wear brown with a brown suit. Socks match pants, always. Your school shoes aren't good enough, people will notice them and only them. Buy a decent pair of dress shoes.

>As for the buttons, maybe in your area 1 button jackets are acceptable but I've never seen it in any professional environment, they're mostly evening suits, so go with 2 or 3 buttons.

>If you're going to be wearing it for extended periods sitting down, one of the main features will be the vents or flaps on the back of the jacket. You can get jackets with no vents but they're uncomfortable and I always saw them as more female. 1 slit is fine, I'd always go for 2 though. See picture.

Thanks bro

Quick question here, figured it fit with the thread. Do dark gray pants go with a black suit jacket? I searched around to see if anything mentions it as a faux pas, but I didn't see anything explicitly prohibiting it. I also rarely see the combination, so I was wondering if any of you might be able to lend me some advice. I'd be wearing a blue shirt with a gray tie.

From my perspective, it's OK to mix certain solid-colored suits together as long as it's not that formal of an occasion, though it would still be fairly iffy.

if the colors are too close together it looks you're trying to construct a suit out of odd pants and an odd jacket and that's bad

but really grey and black is a great way to go
