There are many shades of gray, and every one will look splendid during fall and winter! It’s never a mistake to go monochromatic for the cold weather seasons. Gray doesn’t have to be boring: opt for charcoal, medium gray, grayish brown, or even light gray.

 

Charcoal, for example, conveys a sense of security and is a popular choice for men in many fields of work. Charcoal is great for a salesperson meeting with his boss or a client; it should be your color of choice when you have to make a big presentation. A custom men’s suit in charcoal is also a good choice for an attorney delivering a closing statement, visiting a potential client for the second time, or meeting with another attorney to settle out of court. And, charcoal works for bankers trying to develop new business or retain existing business. Executives should wear gray suits when acquiring new businesses, attending stockholder's meetings, or making important financial decisions .

How do you add more style to your gray? Go for metallic or silvery grays -- look for fabrics and colors that shimmer. Choosing high-quality fabric for your custom men’s suit is important to the elegance of your metallic gray suit; low-quality shiny fabrics will look cheap and lose the stylish appeal you were intending.

 

If a metallic or silvery fabric is not for you, dress up your suit by choosing a fabric with a plaid, windowpane or check pattern rather than a traditional solid gray suit or suit jacket. This can give your suit more impact while still being a monochromatic outfit. Of course, the stripes, windowpanes and checks can also offer more color selections in addition to the traditional pearl-gray stripes. These different colors give you more options in coordinating men’s tailored shirts and neckwear. For example, you may find a medium gray cloth with a light blue multi-stripe pattern, which would look great with blue shirts and ties.
