All right, I have a closet full of nice suits now. All of them are in darker colors: navy, charcoal, black (I know, the horror), dark brown and "mailman" blue about covers the range. I am considering picking up a light colored suit, maybe a cream, tan, "sand", or light beige. I'd much rather NOT spend the money right now, but have begun to wonder if this is a gap that needs to be filled in my wardrobe.
It also seems a bit hard to find nice suits in those colors, certainly off the peg. There are a couple real nice Belvest suits on STP, but spending $1K for a summer suit seems like a lot to me. Ebay has been barren of candidates for as long as I've been looking.
So, should I continue searching and scouring or stick with what I have?
For guidance, I'm a lawyer who spends lots of time in office settings, depositions and mediations, and less time in the courtroom.
Something about a cream colored suit with maybe a wine colored tie and wine/other color pocket square sounds so appealing, and it is a look I cannot approach with my current wardrobe.
BTW, I also lack light colored sportcoats....
