If you need one suit that can handle the office, a wedding and a night out, this is the place to start. You can shop online or try them on at our Melbourne and Geelong stores.
How to Choose Grey Suits for Men by Shade
Start with the shade. Charcoal is the darkest and most formal. It hides creases well and works best for business, evening events and the cooler months. Mid grey is the everyday option: easy to wear in daylight and simple to pair with white or blue shirts. Light grey, silver and chrome tones feel fresher and lighter, so they come into their own in spring and summer. A simple rule works most of the time: the later the event and the cooler the season, the darker the grey.
Men’s Charcoal Suits and the Charcoal Business Suit
A charcoal business suit is probably the hardest-working piece in a man’s wardrobe. It reads as serious without feeling severe, and it suits almost every skin tone. Wear it with a crisp white or light blue shirt from our business shirts range and black or dark brown leather shoes. Popular picks include the Savile Row Abram in Australian Merino wool, the Cambridge classic fit Morse in pure wool and the Joe Black Anchor.

Light Grey Suits for Men for Spring Racing and Summer
A light grey suit is a smart choice for outdoor celebrations, daytime weddings and the track. Paler fabrics reflect more heat and look right in strong Australian sunlight. Look at wool linen blends like the Savile Row Asher in Salt for warmer days, or silver and chrome tones for a sharper finish. Pair light grey with sky blue or pale pink shirts, tan or brown shoes and a patterned tie from our ties and pocket squares range. Heading to the races? Our race day suits have more spring options.
