The first suit acquired is to be

1. Black. You can get two. Each may be worn more often than you may want, and to a church when you are young or are an usher. Avoid wearing the same suit two days in a row – when you can.

2. It can be very dark blue. Each can be worn to a job interview, or a cocktail party. A blue suit could be worn to a church wedding. This suit can be used for after hour dress in the city. Outside the city after hour dress is to be in soft cloth.

The next suit may be

3. Navy blue.

4. Solid Charcoal gray. You may acquire a more specialized suit, every three months, until your collection is complete.

(Avoid any suit in (Graduate) green. Business suits do not come in green. Take it back. A green suit can be worn to a parade during St Patrick’s Day, Mardi Gras, Easter, or Christmas.)

5. A pinstripe suit could be perceived to mean money. You might refrain from wearing one until you have convinced someone that you fit in, add significantly to the goals of the company, and that it really is about more than just salary. Do the former, and the cash and the suit will come.

6. Get a linen look suit or one with linen and a blend, just before you go on that well deserved vacation. You can have a hand sewn suit being made for when you return.

Keep a basic suit in the office for emergencies. It once was used as a manner in which to advertise a man's credit. Some believe it still is. Have each suit tailored in the extreme. Avoid having suit extremely fitted. They are not the same thing.

Practice wearing each of your suits. Each is to look used rather than new; good for you. The back of a vest is to be made of the same fabric as the front when you are planning to go without a jacket. A vest (coat) with five or six buttons is to be a part of each suit, where practical.

A suit: jacket and pants, is to be stored together on a single joint use wooden "Wishbone" hanger until the next time around. Each may be stored in a suit or a travel bag.

For your nightlife you may learn about jackets which bear good Italian names.
