Would you wear it? The Brown Slim Fit Suit

Alfani RED Brown Slim Fit Suit Jacket – $325 | Matching Pant – $125.00

Esquire’s basic guide to The Four Essential Suits every guy should own is a timeless & simple list:

  1. Navy
  2. Grey
  3. Pinstripe
  4. Bold Check

Notice that a black suit doesn’t make the list.  Notice that a chocolate brown suit REALLY doesn’t make the list.  But with the resurgence of 50s and early 60s style, does the brown suit deserve a second chance?  Or does wearing one drop you immediately into the Mad Men wannabe category?

Cast your vote in the comments section below.  Would you wear a brown slim fit suit like the one above from Macy’s Alfani RED Label?  (Here’s a tip:  If you would, don’t pay full price for that one.  It’ll go on sale.  Promise.)
