When to wear a gray suit and how to style it?
Choosing a gray suit is a smart move for any man who wants to look good, regardless of the occasion. It is often associated with the "men in grey suits," who hold a lot of power in both the business and political worlds but are not known for their charisma or public image. Businessmen often wear gray suits. Combine it with a white shirt and black shoes for the office or with a round-neck T-shirt and smart sneakers on the weekend. A gray suit is a perfect choice for both formal and informal gatherings. During the summer, it's ideal as part of a smart-casual outfit. A classic gray suit is also a safe yet elegant option for a casual wedding and is easy to pair with the right accessories.
What to consider when buying a gray suit?
There are, of course, several things to consider when buying a gray suit. Our experts are happy to tell you more so that you can always wear a sharp suit in a stylish manner. So, read on quickly.
Material: The material of your suit is a crucial consideration when buying a gray suit. The suit should be made of a fabric that is lightweight and breathable, yet sturdy and durable. If you plan to wear the suit often, it's best to choose a suit with wool in it. If you don't plan to wear the suit frequently, polyester can be a good option.
Color: The color of the suit is another important consideration when buying a gray suit. The suit's color should be light enough to be considered gray and should have a blue undertone to look professional. The color should also complement your skin tone and hair color. Luckily, we've already curated a beautiful selection of gray suits for you on this gray suits category page.
Fit: The fit of your suit is also crucial when buying a suit. Every man looks good in a suit as long as the fit is right. Try different sizes and styles and choose the suit that suits you best. At The Garrison, you can order multiple sizes and keep only what fits well. If you buy a suit at The Garrison and need further adjustments, no problem.

How to pair a gray suit and what accessories to choose?
For people with medium to dark skin tones, a lighter shade of gray looks great. Khaki also works well. With a dark skin tone, try to minimize dark colors and add more contrast. Gray suits go well with a variety of shoe colors, including black, light brown, or camel. It's good to know that charcoal-colored suits go best with black or dark red shoes.
What about the tie?
Navy ties with woolen textures work excellently with gray for a smart and classic look. They add a touch of warmth to your suit. The burgundy tie is a classic tie that every gentleman should have. It's often seen paired with a navy suit, but we highly recommend considering it for a gray suit as well. Check out our tie collection for this.
Which shirt goes with a gray suit?
A gray suit is a versatile addition to any wardrobe. In a medium tone and a good fit, it works for everything from daily meetings to special occasions. A gray suit with a navy or blue shirt is a great option for formal and semi-formal events. Blue is one of the best choices when it comes to choosing a shirt for a gray suit. Blue complements gray perfectly and gives a clean and fresh look. You can also try a gray suit, white shirt, and tie in a dark shade of red, navy blue, blue, or purple. If you wear a light pink shirt, choose for navy blue, purple, or burgundy tie.
What is the difference between a two-piece and a three-piece suit?
It can sometimes be confusing to figure out which suit to wear for which occasion. To make the choice, it's important to understand the differences between the two suits. One significant difference is formality. The three-piece suit is always more formal than the two-piece suit, thanks to the addition of a vest. However, the two-piece suit offers more flexibility in the choice of fabrics, while the three-piece suit tends to limit itself to more classic materials.
A three-piece suit also looks more styled than a two-piece suit, exuding a sense of elegance and meticulousness. But the three-piece suit has its limitations, such as not being suitable for warmer temperatures. When wearing a three-piece suit, there are some no-gos, like wearing a belt instead of suspenders and using a tie clip. It's important to know how to style this suit to look your best.
