This season, step into a less conventional shade of the color.\n\nThe Inspiration:\n\n Dries Van Noten\n\n\"When I first saw the fabric, I was very intrigued by the color. It is so fresh and crisp that it immediately makes you feel as if you have been transported on a summer holiday.\"\n\n \u2014Dries Van Noten\n\nThe Hues to Know:\n\n Cornflower: A washed-out azure, it's a more common color for a button-down shirt than a suit and looks terrific with a darker blue like navy.\n\n Della Robbia blue: Popularized by a family of Renaissance sculptors who used it often, it's the color of the sky on a clear day.\n\n French blue: A purplish blue more often found in dress shirts that can also be dashing in a suit paired with a white button-down.\n\n Indigo: The inky shade of raw denim can be a deep, rich color for a suit. Midnight blue and Prussian blue are variants.\n\n Navy: A very dark hue, so named because it was first worn by sailors in uniform. Flatters every man, without fail.\n\n Yves Klein blue: A vivid, almost electric ultramarine the French artist developed with a chemist in 1960. Beloved by designers.\n\nPhoto Credits (from left to right):\n\n Suit ($2,640) by Gucci, shirt ($60) by Express, tie ($225) by Ascot Chang, shoes ($345) by Allen Edmonds.\n\n Suit ($1,605) by Dries Van Noten, shirt ($375) by Dolce &amp;amp; Gabbana, tie ($80) by Brooks Brothers, pocket square ($30 for set of seven) by Brooks Brothers, shoes ($295) by Allen Edmonds.\n\n  Suit ($7,571) by Kiton, shirt ($88) by J.
