I have four navy suits in slightly different variations:
  • Dark navy with thin charcoal pinstripes
  • Medium navy with glen plaid
  • Medium navy herringbone
  • Lighter navy with a touch of mohair
Thinking of picking up a solid navy, but is five a bit much?

I also have a black suit that I rarely rare, and a couple grays (dark and heather).

I wear suits generally weekly, but not every day.

We will try not to reference the current president of the United States who apparently owns nothing but OTR navy Brioni suits, none of which have ever been buttoned and all of which hang like wizard cloaks off his corpulent frame.

No, we won’t go there. It sounds like you’re good for navy.
