Plain suits for men are the foundation of a good wardrobe: a single solid colour, no loud pattern, and endless ways to style it.

Why choose a plain suit?

A solid colour lets your shirt, tie and accessories do the talking. The same suit can look sharp at a job interview and celebratory at a wedding, simply by changing what you wear with it.

A colour guide to plain suits for men

• Navy and blue – the most versatile choice for the office, weddings and prom.
• Black – formal and sharp, ideal for evening events, funerals and uniformed work.
• Charcoal grey – professional and easy to pair with white or blue shirts.
• Beige, cream and brown – warm tones that look great at summer and daytime weddings.
• Green, burgundy and blush pink – a confident choice for grooms and guests who want to stand out.

Fabric and cut

Many designs are three-piece and tailored fit, with 2 piece, tuxedo and double-breasted options too. Linen styles keep you cool in warmer months, while birdseye cloth adds subtle texture without a visible pattern.

Styling ideas

Pair a navy suit with a crisp white formal shirt and a patterned tie from our ties and bow ties. Add a pocket watch and chain to the waistcoat for a vintage touch. If you want something with more pattern, compare our check suits.
