This is one of the most common questions we get here at Section 6 Menswear, and while the easiest way is of course to have you come in and visit with us to get a personalized consultation, the popular blog The Art of Manliness has an excellent article on what they call “The Suit Ladder“.
Spoilers, but they recommend the following arrangement/order:
- Charcoal Grey
- Navy Blue
- Pinstripe or Plaid
- Black
- Everything Else
Now, we here at Section 6 would encourage you to come talk to us to get a more nuanced set of options provided to you depending on your specific needs and circumstances, but the Suit Ladder isn’t a bad place to start by any means.
