You know that if you're going to be springing for a single suit it should be between the classic menswear colors of navy or gray. Here's hoping you're also thinking solely about solids as a pattern-free suit is going to guarantee you get the most versatile piece for your money. As for the great debate over suit hues, it's all about figuring out which works best for your needs.\n\nFacebookPinterestSuitsGray&amp;amp;Navy.jpg\n\nBoth neutrals are sure bets but what they're paired with, underpinning-wise, is what defines them. Navy is a deeper color than gray so when paired with a white dress shirt, the contrast is much more stark and instantly creates a more severe, serious look. Gray, on the other hand, is usually more of a melange fabric and softer next to a basic white button-down. Even when paired with a colored shirt, as in both examples above, the suits dictate different moods.\n\nIf we had to go one way, it would be gray. The color can be paired with just about any other one out there and the combination of an unorthodox pairing, like John Slattery's dove gray with a denim shirt, just pops. If you find yourself with a need for navy, opt for a sports jacket in that color that would pair perfectly with your gray suit pants.\n\nFacebookPinterestjohn-slattery-outtake.jpeg\n\nFor the complete suiting how-to, check out GQ's Guide to Suits."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
