BUSINESS

Different colors create a very different look for a suit as the impression of appearance has a big influence in the business world. Therefore, I recommended you to understand the characteristics of each color and to wear it appropriately for the occasion.

We can roughly divide the color of the suit into 4 groups: “Navy Blue Group”, “Gray Group”, “Black Group” and “Brown Group”.

This time, I’m going to introduce you the different looks that each color suit bring to its wearer.

1. A navy suit that everyone can wear to look good.

Navy blue is the color which is known as the mainstream color of the suit, and is said to be a color which is suitable for Japanese skin tones.

Navy, the basic color, can be worn with any color. It is very distinctive, anyone can wear it to look good and show a clean, honest and youthful feeling. It can be worn in both business and on formal occasions.

That’s why a navy suit is perfect when meeting a business partner for the first time or when you want to build trust with others.

Especially “dark navy blue” which can be worn on any occasion. So I recommended this color for your first suit shopping.

2. A gray suit makes the wearer look elegant while changing the image according to the brightness of the suit color.

A gray suit is as appropriate as navy blue in the business sector. Apart from bringing the wearer a sharp, social and modern image, it can also make the wearer look classy.

Gray can be divided into three broad tones: charcoal gray, normal gray and light gray, with darker colors giving a more formal look. And the lighter the color, the more casual the look.

In addition, in terms of dressing up, it’s a color that doesn’t look too prominent. It can be arranged to be unified and not difficult to compare to other colors. By dressing up in monotone style by combining with a shirt or tie that has no caste colors (white, black, grey), a gray suit can bring the wearer a modern and sophisticated look.

3. A black suit creates a sharp image for the wearer and can also be used in many ceremonies

Originally, the black suit had a very formal look but now black has become the standard color for recruitment or new student uniforms.

The black suit worn in business has a modern, unique and glamorous look, while also showing off a strong masculinity and high level of sagacity and because it has a predominant image because it is the color of the ceremonies, making the wearer to look powerful as well.

Nowadays, even many designer brands applied black color for their suits. This allows the wearer to enjoy a sleek suit in monotone colors or even add a bold color to enhance uniqueness.

4. A brown suit that can show a different personality and superior to the surroundings.

Brown, representing earth tones, giving a feeling of warmth and calmness. It also shows the atmosphere of an adult who looks calm.

The most important advantage of a brown suit is that the wearer can enjoy a unique atmosphere that is different from the surroundings. There are also many colors that go with brown such as blue, red and green that can be worn together especially when worn with blue tones, we will call it “Azzurro e marrone”, which is one of the standard ways of dressing in Italian suits that affect how the wearer feels on a daily basis.

First, try to stop thinking that the clothes won’t suit you. How about enjoying choosing a suit for each occasion such as business, party, or going out on a date?
