A suit is a must-have in your wardrobe. Of course, if you can afford or you wear suits to work on a daily basis, you can have a wardrobe full of suits.

A suit is a 2- or 3-piece ensemble with a jacket and trousers. A waistcoat is optional and is found in some types of suits. A quintessential outfit, the suit completes your wardrobe. Take your pick from one of the many types of suits.

Single-breasted, double-breasted, tuxedos, lounge suits, business suits, dinner suits, mandarin suits, and zoot suits are the different suit types that you can choose from. Well, if you can’t own each one of them, make sure that you build a decent collection of essential suits — to dress you up for formal events.

Here are the must-haves in your suit collection

Classic black suit
You can never go wrong with this choice. The ideal pick-me-up for cocktail parties and black-tie weddings, the black suit is versatile. It is also the right choice for sober gatherings as well. Always make sure that you have the classic black suit handy at all times.

Cotton khaki suit
The perfect choice for summer and spring, the khaki suit is less formal compared to your blue or gray buttoned-down suit. For the weekend or a less formal event, give the jacket a miss. Instead, pair up with a plain shirt with rolled up sleeves. It’s best to give the cotton khakis a skip during fall and winter.

Wool charcoal suit
When it comes to versatility, the charcoal suit is at par with the navy blue one. The best part about the charcoal suit is that you can perk it up or mute it as per the demands of the occasion.

By donning the wool charcoal suit, you can complete your look with either brown or burgundy or black shoes and belts.

Patterned suit
The patterned suit is best when you want to draw attention away from your problem areas.  If you don’t want to look dapper in a monochrome black or navy blue suit, the patterned suit is your available choice.

Wool navy suit
The navy suit is the one that suits all, irrespective of the complexion. If you’re allowed to own only one suit, then it must be the single-breasted navy wool suit. Exuding professional and giving the wearer the due respect, the navy suit is perfect for all formal occasions.

When it comes to buying a suit, brand and fabric are important considerations. However, the key is the fit. Make sure that you get a suit that fits you perfectly well. When buying wool suits, give the label a miss and look for the finesse of wool.
