Blue-Grey Suits

You’ve already heard us make the case for the grey suit and the blue suit. Each color is a match for business wear and social occasions, and we consider either to be smart choice for your first suit. 

But what happens when you combine the two most versatile suit colors in existence? You get blue-grey suits

They’re a bit more serious than your mid-blues, yet more modern and relaxed than a dark grey. Blue-grey is a great color option for your first suit or your third. 

What Is a Blue-Grey Suit?
There’s no scientific definition for what constitutes a blue-grey suit. In fact, the spectrum is quite diverse, ranging from an everyday mid-blue with a touch of grey to a steely dark blue. Either color can appear more prominent, so long as the influence of the other is still visible. 

How Do You Wear a Blue-Grey Suit?
In short, blue-grey suits can be worn in the same settings and circumstances as you would a more solidly blue or grey suit. You may even find that they offer a bit more flexibility, as a blue-grey suit will rarely appear as casual as a light blue suit or as formal as a dark grey suit.
