- For your go-to workhorse suit, you simply can't beat a single-breasted, two-button classic style charcoal gray suit. The Brooks Brothers 1818 charcoal suit combines historic American-made quality with iconic English flair, and it's easily the most versatile suit you'll ever wear.
Of all pieces of classic menswear, the iconic business suit is perhaps the most intimidating. That's understandable: Buying a good suit and getting it properly tailored is a more complex process than trying on a pair of jeans, and there are a lot of considerations to take into account when purchasing one, from construction quality to proper fit. If you're reading this guide, then you're already taking the first important step of suit-shopping - doing your homework - and we're here to help you out.
Perhaps, like many men, you're looking to buy your first quality suit. Maybe you're already a "suit guy" and just want to round out your wardrobe with a few more to cover all your style bases. Whatever the case, we've rounded up our favorite men's suits for every need and occasion.
Finally, once you've chosen the suit (or suits) that are right for you, then it's time to complete your business wardrobe with some high-quality dress shirts, neckties, and dress shoes, as well as oft-overlooked but no less important odds and ends like pocket squares and cufflinks. Also consider grabbing some wooden suit hangers, and be sure to find a good tailor - The best suit in the world will still look crummy if it doesn't fit right.
