How Often Do You Wear a Suit? Get the Perfect Wardrobe Based on Your Lifestyle

Choose your answer below and discover exactly what your wardrobe needs — no more, no less.

“I Almost Never Wear a Suit”

Conferences, weddings, or that one serious meeting… that’s when you reach for it.

If you rarely wear a suit, there’s no need to overcomplicate things. What you need is one well-fitting suit — either dark navy or charcoal grey, depending on your skin tone and style. This suit should be timeless, subtle, and easy to accessorize. Go for a single-breasted (also double-breasted is perfect for those who’d like to appear a touch broader… and yes, you know who I’m talking about), two-button model in a Super 110–130 wool — it will cover all bases.

But the real game-changer is a smart blazer collection. Here’s what we recommend:

Winter Blazer

A dark navy flannel blazer with patch pockets — it’s perfect with jeans and even a t-shirt. Stylish, practical, and adds instant elegance.

Year-Round blazer

A navy double-breasted blazer with gold buttons. Looks great with a turtleneck in winter or with a white tee and light trousers in summer.

Summer blazer

Something light — like a wool-silk-linen blend in a half-lined construction. Feel free to choose an interesting pattern here.

Warning: Once you start wearing proper blazers, you might not want to go back — your wardrobe may quickly grow.

“I Wear Suits Sometimes“

You switch between business casual and formal depending on the day, but don’t live in suits.

Start with your foundation:

  • 3 Everyday Suits:
    • Dark navy
    • Charcoal grey
    • A subtle pinstripe or micro-check pattern for variety

Add seasonal depth:

  • 2 Summer Suits:
    • Mid or light grey in a lightweight wool or wool-linen blend
    • A linen suit in beige / blue in traveler wool or a tropical wool blend (depending on your color type — more on this in an upcoming post).
    • Go for half-lining (for durability)
  • 2 Winter Suits:
    • One in flannel (grey or blue)
    • One three-piece suit — adds variety and warmth. You can go here for classical wool s130.

Bonus: If you live in a cold, windy climate like Tallinn, a tweed suit is a smart, durable, and classic addition. Just make sure it fits your work culture — a tweed suit may not suit a bank office, but it’s perfect for business owners like mixed office-outdoor work.

Also include the 3 blazers from section one — they will help you dress up or down effortlessly.

“I Wear Suits Every Day”

Suits are your second skin. Time to treat them as a system.

Let me start by saying — if you wear suits every day, you’re already better dressed than 99% of men. Thank you for getting straight to the point, and let’s begin this journey.

First, let’s build a full weekly rotation. Here’s the formula:

  • 4 days in suits (Mon–Thu)
  • Friday smart casual (blazer day)
  • Never wear the same suit more than once every two weeks

That means: 8 suits minimum, with a Friday blazer rotation.

Suggested base:

8 Work Suits:
4 in grey tones (light to charcoal)
4 in blue/navy tones
3 double-breasted, 5 single-breasted (gentlemen with a fuller build should keep double-breasted suits to a minimum, while slimmer men may lean more towards them — it will flatter the frame and create the right proportion.
2 in subtle stripe, 2 in soft check, 4 solid
Optional: 2 of them as three-piece suits
2 Blazers for Fridays:
One navy
One grey
Look for patch pockets and different buttons to avoid the “just took off the trousers” look. Bonus if you like elbow patches.

Seasonal needs:

  • 2–3 Winter Suits: Flannel, tweed, wool-cashmere — warm and textural
  • 2–3 Summer Suits: Sand, olive, or soft green in wool-linen or silk blends

Special Occasions

(Don’t skip these):

  • 1 Tuxedo
  • 1 Dinner Jacket (velvet, shawl lapel, or rich fabric)
  • 1–2 Statement Suits in luxurious cloth (Super 180s+, bold color, or pattern)

And yes — you should still include the 3 blazers from section one. They will multiply your outfit options and give your wardrobe true flexibility.
