If your jacket and pants are the same colour, they better be matching. You can get away with different colour pants and jacket. An example would be Navy + khaki pants but this is all dependant on your style and what is acceptable at work.
As for colours, I really like light grays and navy. Black is too stiff for my business (advertising agency). |
For $2500, tailoring charges are included and this is built into the price by the manufacturer so their clothes actually look good for your body type. I don't think anyone sensible would buy something off the rack for that much and not think of getting it tailored. I can't recall but I believe you don't have a choice anyway because the manufacturer has prepped the fabric for the tailor to cut so you couldn't just wear it right away.
I also rotate with a cheaper $500 tailored suit from Asia, which is why I said suggested you should have at least one good suit for those special occasions (No, I'm not imply spending what I did but your best suit shouldn't be something from the Bay or Mexx unless you are only going to put a suit on 3 times in your life than I understand).
