I once recommended that your first suit should be grey. Of course, this is my personal recommendation. In fact, the main content of that article is about how to choose a dark blue suit. (To read more, please click here: How to choose your first suit )

Later, I conducted a survey on suit color preferences on the official account and found that 40% of readers chose navy blue (dark blue).

It’s no surprise that when I sorted out Japanese street photos, I also found that Japanese working men like to wear navy blue suits. (Follow my official account “Song_Shibo” and send “Japanese street photos”)

In fact, I have more than one blue suit. See my wardrobe:

From left to right: navy and black pinstripe, blue single-breasted blazer, blue linen suit, dark blue knitted blazer, light blue linen blazer. In addition, a blue double-breasted blazer is undergoing final touches on Savile Row.

As my second recommended color, this article will talk about the navy blue (dark blue) suits that are the favorite of white-collar workers in the workplace.

How to match navy blue suit

Formal occasions

Navy blue is undoubtedly the most suitable color for working people . It is a color that emphasizes professionalism and expertise. Because of its dark color, navy blue suits can be match with shirts and ties of various colors. White shirts are the most basic match, as shown in the left picture below by Beckham. If you want to change and add style, you can match it with a different color Windsor collar shirt to enhance your style and taste. (The right picture below, this shirt is available at Shizu-COM. Follow the WeChat store official account Shizu-COM and search for “different color collar shirt”)

A navy blue suit can be pair with a striped shirt. Semi-hidden stripes that are not too exaggerate are the most suitable. Follow my WeChat public account “Song_Shibo” and text “striped shirt” to read the detailed version.

Navy blue suit

Navy blue suit with small coarse check suit. The check shirt with suit should not be too exaggerate. Small fine check and small coarse check are the most recommended. Follow my WeChat public account “Song_Shibo” and send “check shirt” to read the detailed version.

The simplest and safest leather shoes for navy blue suits are black Oxford shoes. This is also the most commonly use shoe.

In addition to black, tan leather shoes are often use . In the picture below, the left one is wearing dark brown Oxford shoes, which slightly echoes the color of the tie; in the picture below, the right one is wearing brown-yellow leather shoes, which are slightly brighter, highlighting the personality and echoing the briefcase (the color of the tie is too bright).

Casual wear, casual occasions

The navy blue suit can be taken apart and worn as a jacket, or you can look more formal by pairing it with grey fine trousers, either light or dark.

Khaki pants

I like to wear it casually with khaki pants, but the drape of khaki pants is not as good as that of suit pants, and they are easy to wrinkle (the knee part of the pants in the picture below). It would be slightly better to choose one with a slightly looser cut.

The easiest way to match sweaters in autumn is to match them in similar colors.

Wedding Occasions

I don’t have many opportunities to wear high-end dresses, and rented dresses are not easy to fit. A navy blue suit with some “flowers” can be worn at a wedding, which is acceptable. I have written a series of articles on wedding outfits, and you can take a look if you are interested (search for the single keywords in the following titles in my public account “Song_Shibo” ):

Real person (that’s me) upper body display

The new navy blue suit is coming soon. I won’t repeat the features of this suit. Most of the features are inHow to choose your first suit

It says so inside, but this time it’s half linen. If you want to buy this suit, you must, must, must read the second half of this article : How to Choose Your First Suit .

As a daily business style, this time we launched a single-breasted two-button style + flat lapel, which is the most basic style. Because you may wear it more often, this style can avoid the weaknesses of other styles, such as three-button style is a bit old-fashioned, single-breasted style is a bit avant-garde, double-breasted style is a bit over the top, etc. (Click to see the big picture)

Close-up photo, to appreciate the color. However, it was take in a corner of the office, the light is a little dim, and the photo has not been adjusted.
The light blue shirt and twill tie are the most harmonious match with the navy blue suit. (The shirt is a new style mercerize non-ironing, available for Double Eleven)

This batch of photos was take by Shibo himself , to show you how yellow people wear it , there is no “bang” special effect , the rich color layers in my hands illustrate this point. The model has a bad figure, please don’t hit me. (Standing straight, the height is 170cm, hunched back and bent head is 168cm. Weight 56, wearing size 44Y)

In some photos, the back collar of the suit is not attach to the shirt collar. It’s not the clothes’ fault, it’s my habit of tilting my head. I believe that students who often tilt their heads understand that this habit can’t be change by paying attention. I have already reminded myself when taking photos.

Then we change to something a little more casual, with a blue wool vest and dark grey pants. You don’t need to wear a tie at this time, just open the shirt collar, and it can be consider a casual casual outfit . (The shirt is wrong, it should be blue)

Dark grey trousers

Dark grey trousers are really versatile. If you have bought my grey suit, make good use of it. As for shoes, they are perfect with my black round-toed Oxford adhesive style. If you want something more upscale, hand-welted shoes have just been put into stock. They are available in the WeChat store (follow the WeChat store public account Shizu-COM and search for “round-toed” or “welted”).

The previous color has not been adjust, it is too dark , and the last picture is slightly bright, which may be close to the effect of the fabric under bright light. The gray trousers have not been iron and are a little wrinkle.

One more thing to add: As a ready-made suit, in order to satisfy most people, the sleeves are slightly longer, so there are more wrinkles on the top when taking photos. If you happen to think the sleeves are too long, we designed the sleeves so that you can find a tailor to shorten them yourself . Each suit has a modification instruction diagram, as shown below. However, for many people, the sleeve length may be just right.

Style, cut, functional details, materials, etc.

I have already written about this part in detail in How to Choose Your First Suit , so I will not repeat it here.
