I agree with most of this advice. I'd say it's also geographically specific. I'm in a part of the US that is super casual. Like, a collared shirt and dark denim is "dressy" here. When selling suits to clients, I usually recommend charcoal and navy as the first 2 suits anyone should own. You nailed it with this video!

NOTE: Good advice my friend. I have a collection of 50 different custom 2 & 3 piece suits. (from sheer to Tweed). So after my first 4 suits, everything else is vintage by decade (from 1920 to 2010). Also buy suits that fit your climate. I live/work in Houston. Usually 90+ Degree temp. So I only have 1 Tweed suit (LOL!) the rest are VERY light materials. CHEERS!

I am definitely Number 4 and if you looked into my closet, the sky is most certainly the limit where I am concerned. I have so many suits that a clerk at a business I frequent a great deal asked me, “Just how many suits DO YOU OWN?” Just my two cents, but I would suggest the guys in the first two categories have a basic black suit, then maybe a grey or navy blue suit. Black goes with everything and appropriate for almost any occasion!

I am sort of between a person who never wears a suit and the occasional suit wearer. I bought a used medium grey Super 150's glen check suit for $60 I love, and investing in a nice charcoal suit soon for those more formal events. However, I find myself investing into sport coats more often than suits, as they usually fit my style more due to not needing to wear a suit very often, but can easily dress them up

Hey Brian, I love the presentation here and the advice that you just gave. Though this comment is pretty late after you post this video, I want to say that this advice is truly helpful for me. Because you don't generalize people and instead you divide them into different categories. I'm a 24 year old guy who just starting to enter workforce and although my workplace does not require suit, but I would love to dress up nicely every now and then. So I'm in occasionaly suit wearer category. I only have black suit since suit culture is not very booming and necessary in my country, but now I'm considering to get navy & charcoal gray suits. This comment is pretty long, but when you read it I hope I can convey my message that this video is immensely helpful and you just gained a new subscriber. 😊

As for a khaki suit, by definition, it's already casual, so I would prefer one that's a little dressier with flap pockets because it's crisper look if you need to go to a summer event and need to step your game up. A seersucker is also a good choice for summer 👌

But when my father took me to a Jos A. Bank to get some better clothes for going to mass in (I’m a Roman Catholic), I just fell in love with the process of dressing well that very first moment I put on a proper fitting sport coat. I felt proud to be a man, and I felt more like my dad who dresses well for work. How’s that for sharing my testimony? 😁

I haven't interacted with your channel in years. Last time I was at the beginning of transitioning (retiring) from Active duty to graduating college and changing careers. Now several years have past and I'm once again looking to increase my "bespoke-ness". I have an opportunity in commercial banking, and will once again be increasing my suit collection and frequency of wear. I was a little critical (in a constructive way) in the past, but I knew exactly who I needed to seek out for apparel! My question is, how do you feel by online custom suit shops like Indochino? Do they make good products that are worth the money you spend, are they as good of a value as they seem? Are they close to a real custom fit bespoke shop? I probably need 2 more suits to get started. I don't want to spend a fortune, although I will hopefully increase the collection soon after getting the job.

Hey Brian! Love the content and the new studio, but it seems like your face could use a little more lighting from the front. Too much contrast between light and dark areas. As always, thank you for everything!

Thanks for the feedback. Different than you’re used to, huh? I actually intentionally went to this style with more contrast. We are only bouncing one light off the ceiling instead of two and the key is higher. It’s a different look. I don’t feel like my face is too shadowed. You can see my eyes. I set it up myself since rob is not able to come over. He’s the lighting expert and may have some input when he’s back. No comment on the audio here?! First video with the MKH50.

I've got some questions if you don't mind. 1) What do you think of the navy herring pattern suit? 2) Is buying a suit from the discount outlet a good idea? (Off 5th ave.) The suit I'm looking at buying, if it's still on the rack this week, which it's been in the past 2 week window, is a navy herring. It's like $350.00 marked down from supposedly $1,300. The brand is called something like Hackberry along that line. 3) Do you know anything about this brand or a brand with a similar name and would you recommend it? 4) Also, do you know or think the prices at discount outlets are jus' marked up that high by the retailer jus' to make the customer think their getting a good deal? 5) What's your take on suits at Men's Wearhouse?

Blue, dark gray & a tan. Hopsack, 2 button, notch lapels, double vent, plain front. That’s minimalist ground zero. Naah, be James Bond get a tux to rock the casino like Sean Connery.

Could you please do a video for those of us in year round hot climates. I live in central Florida where t shirts and shorts are pretty much the norm everyday. I also wear a uniform for work so I don’t get a chance to dress up. As a 50 yr old I wanna look cool and stylish but not out of place. Thanks so much!

Great video and advice, Brian. For which of the suits would you recommend to invest in a waistcoat as well? My favorites are the khaki cotton suit for summer, the titanium grey suit (my car has that color with a matte finish :) the chalk-stripe suit and of course also the trenchcoat (always a classic, for women as well :) .
