Navy Micro-Texture Merino Suit - Vasquez

Look at this one from across a room and it is a plain navy suit. Up close it is not: a blue micro-texture runs through the cloth and gives the colour somewhere to go.

The wool is Super 100's Australian Merino, woven over a rich navy base. That fine texture is the entire idea, adding depth and refinement to a suit that carries no pattern at all. The jacket is styled with a classic notch lapel and straight flap pockets, and it is paired with a streamlined trouser that keeps the line sharp from the waist down.

A textured navy is the most useful suit a man can own, because it does everything a plain one does and looks more considered doing it. Business is where it earns its keep, and formal settings take it without alteration. Pair it with a white shirt for work, and swap in something darker when the occasion moves into the evening.
