This is a day that comes for all men – a rite of passage, if you will.
The underlying principle when buying your first suit is that you want it to be adaptable. Unless you’re planning on buying another suit soon, you need to be able to wear your suit on a number of different occasions (Formal events, job interviews, weddings, business meetings, graduation, etc.). Therefore, the best color option is Charcoal. For collars, both notch and flair are acceptable, but the notch is a more conservative option. Three-button suits are still popular, but the two-button style is more timeless. Patterns (Stripe, Window Pane/Plaid) are acceptable, but keep them subtle. The choice for pleated pants or flat front pants is up to you and your personal style.
From this point, you have a great suit that you can use with essentially any color. White and blue are the most common colors for dress shirts, but match any color shirt with the right tie and you’re good to go!
Finally, don’t overlook the three-piece suit. Having a vest adds that much more class and flexibility.
