However, without the right choice of suit shade, you can get lost in the crowd. Despite the fact that it is elegant, always relevant and suitable for everyone, regardless of the type of appearance, one must not forget about the accessories available in the wardrobe. For example, a tie with an interesting print can liven up the set. Also, with a basic gray, accessories in the color of the shirt can look good, but a few shades darker.

In addition to color contrasts, it is important to consider the purpose of the clothes.

Men's suits can be classified according to different criteria. For example, according to the type of fit, they can be fitted, semi-adjacent, straight and free (oversized).

The models of the first group differ slim fit, they emphasize its contours, the shoulders are at a natural level here, there is no extra width. The trousers are also tight, without unnecessary freedom.

Models of a semi-fitted silhouette are slightly looser, these are also suits on a figure without an extended shoulder line... They usually have narrow lapels with medium depth. Straight cut is looser, oversized seems a little baggy, this is the choice of young people. Such jackets are often made with patch pockets.

By the type of fastening, jackets can be single and double breasted. Single-breasted options are fastened with 1-3 buttons, analogs in 2 rows can have from 2 to 8 buttons.

By appointment, costumes are business, casual and smart. Business or office style products can have a straight or semi-adjacent cut. In the American style (they have no shoulder pads), the shoulder line is accentuated by a crisp cuff of the sleeve.They are made from smooth or melange textiles, plain or in a cage.

The English business style is distinguished by a single-breasted clasp type. These are suits with two slots and welt pockets, cuts of a fitted silhouette with an impeccable fit. Such models are sewn from plain textiles and striped material. The depth of the lapels of jackets here is small, the length is classic.

Casual double-breasted models are characterized by a free cut. They can be straightforward. These suits improve the proportions of the male figure by visually stretching the silhouette. These are models for short men, consisting of a jacket and trousers.

In addition to the usual options on sale, you can find and unusual models of men's suits. They may differ in a non-standard type of lapels (or their absence), have original details, deceptive effects (for example, painted finishing lines). Others have a high neckline.

The gray color is multifaceted, which allows you to choose your option, taking into account the available accessories, wardrobe elements and preferences. For example, it can be cool or warm, light or deep saturated. The most popular tones this season are:

• light gray;
• gray silver;
• dark grey;
• gray blue;
• charcoal gray;
• wet asphalt.

Charcoal gray is considered solemn and not so formal. Light gray is good for the warm season, allows you to create different looks. A gray checkered suit is in fashion. However, due to the print, it loses its versatility. It is bought for everyday wear, and tall men take products with a large cage, short ones choose a small one.

When choosing a suit, you need to pay attention to a number of factors. For example, first of all, fit is important, it should correspond to the complexion of the man and his height. Suits are sewn according to standard patterns, but a large selection allows you to choose a model that will fit exactly on the figure. The shoulders should be at a natural level, with a palm between the jacket and shirt.

The length of the jacket depends on the height and type of model. For example, in a classic suit, it reaches the knuckle. In youth variants, it is higher. In order not to be mistaken when choosing, you need to remember: the bottom line should halve the distance from the edge of the collar to the floor.

The width of the shoulders is matched to a specific figure. If the shoulders are sloping, take the option with shoulder pads. To pick up volume, look at the buttoned-up fit. If there are folds in the front or back, the product does not fit.

It is not difficult to determine the length and fit of the sleeve. You need to measure a jacket on a shirt: ideally, it should protrude by 1-2 cm. A high-quality cut excludes folds along the edge of the sleeve. Its direction is slightly inclined forward. If the movements are difficult, this indicates a small armhole.

Pants should not hang, but also should not be too tight... When trying on, you need to move, sit down. If they are too small, the lines will break. The ideal leg length is the one in which part of the heel is covered, and a light hall is formed above the toe.

It is necessary to pay attention to the arrows: they should be located strictly in the middle. Otherwise, when viewed from the side, the legs will seem crooked.The length of the cropped cuts, without arrows, exposes the ankle.

Suits are made from different materials: gabardine, cheviot, tweed, stretch flannel, boucle and velor. Summer models are made of cotton and linen, but they wrinkle a lot.

As for the type of figure, when choosing a suit, you should pay attention to the following nuances:

• the owner of a sports figure is suitable for styles with a double-breasted fastener;
• with high growth, the purchase of baggy suits is excluded, models of a fitted type are needed;
• overweight men need styles with a single-breasted clasp;
• with a non-standard figure, it is undesirable to buy models with a tight-fitting torso;
• a tall man needs to buy a suit with a 3-button single-breasted closure;
• the thin one should take a closer look at the deuce with side slots;
• the undersized one needs a suit of a semi-adjacent silhouette;
• a complete one needs to find a model with a jacket that disguises the belly.

Additions to a gray men's suit are very diverse. It depends on the purpose of the kit, age, scale and style of the event. For example, one suit can be worn for both a special event and a business meeting.

Choosing a shirt, you can give preference to different styles. There are many color options available:

• shirts of white, blue, beige, burgundy, blue colors will be win-win tones;
• depending on the type of fabric, you can complement the suit with shirts in lilac or light pink tones;
• a monochrome prom set can be supplemented with a colorful shirt, up to a daring design;
• business style does not tolerate variegation, shirts of blue, bluish, marsal, grassy shades are relevant here;
• a checkered suit is better to decorate with a white chemise;
• for a model in dark gray, you can pick up a shirt in a light gray shade;
• a gray-gray or smoky suit with a glossy texture of the material can be decorated with a black shirt.

As for the print, it can be a speck, a thin and rare strip, or a check. The collar should be sharp-angled. The tie is selected depending on the color of the shirt: it should contrast against its background. For example, if it is white, wine tones will do. A blue or pastel tie is suitable for a dim white or light blue color.

In addition, ties of brown-pink, black, copper, pinkish shades look beautiful with a gray suit. You can also decorate your look with models with small white polka dots in blue and red colors. Here, a beige and blue striped tie, gray and black in a cage or a diagonal strip will be appropriate. For special occasions, a contrasting butterfly is selected.

The choice of shoes depends on the purpose of the set. For example, a festive look can be completed with borgs or light-colored oxfords. For everyday wear, go for loafers, topsides and derbies. For a business look, you should choose lace-up shoes. In the offseason, boots with grooved soles or even ankle boots can help out. They will match a military style suit.

When choosing a color, you should rely on the color of the suit itself.... For example, black or burgundy shoes are suitable for a dark gray business style set. For an informal look, brown or even navy blue shoes can be completed. Shoes of walnut or chocolate shades are suitable for a light gray suit.

Socks are usually chosen to match the color of the trousers, but they should be a couple of shades darker. For example, it is more advisable to choose black socks for dark gray trousers. It is better to complement a light suit with dark gray socks. In this case, the length of the socks should be sufficient: it should not be allowed to show an open strip of skin.
