Fashion is fickle and trends come and go. However, there are certain garments, certain styles and aesthetics that never go out of fashion. Classic designs transcend time and always look good, regardless of the era. You can look back at photos of yourself wearing timeless styles without apprehension and reason to cringe. Even better, you can keep the clothing and wear them forever.
When it comes to men’s fashion, you can never go wrong with a timeless, classic suit. Sure, these days, men’s suits come in various colours, patterns and fabrics. It’s great to experiment, to have fun with fashion and take risks. However, there are occasions that call for timeless styles and also events when you simply want to go for the tried and true. Every man needs timeless suits that they can keep forever. Even better, in the years to come, you’ll be able to maximise the use of these suits and make the most of your purchase. So, what are the timeless suits that every closet needs? These are our top three.
Grey Suit
Of course, every man has to have a black suit. That almost goes without saying. However, the grey suit is a perfect alternative to the standard black and a colour that you can reuse and rewear for years to come. It arguably has more character than the plain old black suit ensemble. A dark grey or charcoal grey suit can seamlessly fit into your wardrobe. You can mix and match it with different coloured dress shirts, neckties and pocket squares. Even better, as the years go by and your style evolves, the timeless grey suit will continue to serve you well.
Blue Suit
A blue suit is another timeless piece that you should have in your closet. Choose a navy or dark blue suit that can take you from day to night, season after season, year after year. The great thing about a blue suit is that it can work with either black shoes and a black belt or even brown shoes and a brown belt. It’s appropriate for a multitude of occasions without looking too stiff or uptight. It’s both classic and stylish.

Patterned Suit
You may not automatically consider it but a patterned suit is another classic style that you can keep and wear forever. Think of a pinstripe suit or the elegant Prince of Wales pattern, or even a classic plaid tweed ensemble. As proven by all the famous leading men and world leaders who’ve donned the patterned suit in decades past up to today, you just can’t go wrong with it.
