This is hands down the best advice for suiting ever. I worked in suiting for ever and the only addition I would make is differentiating a dark grey from a light grey suit. light grey goes great in the spring and summer goes great with almost every color of tie you can buy, dark grey for the fall and the winter and looks great with almost every color of tie you buy as well. Once you buy them take CARE of them. Don't just throw them in the washer. They will not last as long and you will spend more money in the long run because your suit will look shabby quicker. Take care of those investment pieces. They will last you a very long time if treated well. Got thick thighs? That's fine, you'll just have buy pants more often. But always always always buy the separates if you can. More likely to still be there in the same color if you need to replace one piece.
Only if your line of work requires a lot of formalwear. In the tech industry for example we just wear t-shirts all the time. We only really need one or two suits for the occasional event. I have 1 black suit for events, and a grey wool blazer for events in cold places
I disagree on a couple of things he says, and I’d like to hear your opinion as a tailor. First of all, I don’t think men should focus on getting a black suit. They’re not versatile and can look very boring, not to mention that black doesn’t match well with other colour. Other than for funerals, you shouldn’t really wear a black suit. Second of all, I always thought you were not supposed to mix and match suits, partly due to the pants being discoloured over time. Eventually, the pants won’t match with the jacket anymore because they’ve been worn much more than the jacket. Either way, separate pants and jacket is a lot more casual than a full suit. Third and last, I’d swap out cream for pink. A cream shirt doesn’t really work well with anything, so it doesn’t make sense to call it essential. The most common shirt colours in classic menswear are white, blue and pink. I also think that pink works a lot better with all of those suit colours than cream does.
@@filiphelset872 hey Phillip, would really appreciate your expertise my friend. I’m a 27 y/o male getting into real estate at the end of the month. I have no experience with suits as I did not grow up ever needing one or ever needed one. I’m currently struggling financially and I need to best budget what to buy. I currently own a navy set and a white shirt. I was going to buy another two and mix it with shirts however I can probably one afford one. What do you think my next one should be? Grey? And if so, how can I best mix and match with those two colors for now. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you very much!
Understanding cultural differences in attire, there are still fundamental rules. Making sure the buttons on your shirt align with your fly, keeping your tie straight, etc. My father stressed that when I was young. Whatever you wear, wear it right. Steve is the only other man I’ve heard talk like this. Young men need to hear this.
Damn… here my dad barely taught me how to tie a tie. I learned everything from the internet and to spite life, I never learned to tie my shoes properly
Not every man needs 5 suits, especially the blue collared men. Minimum is black, navy, and charcoal. Unless you are wearing suits more often than once a week, you don't need more than that. If you do wear suits more frequently, then we go into the other stuff.
Every man needs a black suit. After you get a black suit, there's 5 suits you need to get. You need to get black, navy, gray, brown, tan. Get those 5 suits, you get yourself 2 white shirts, get yourself 2 cream colored shirts, and two powder blue shirts. You can make 75 with those combinations 'cause every last one of those pants goes with every last one of those jackets, every last jacket goes with every last one of those pants. You cannot mess up. The beige pants go with the gray jacket. The gray pants go with the brown jacket. Black pants go with everything. Get yourself three basic color shirts, blue, cream, and white, and get yourself some Steve Harvey ties, and start living your best life.
@@cameronwhite9742 You can do the same thing with shoes: if you’re buying a black suit, black shoes. Second pair should be dark brown, which can go with any of the other four. Third should be burgundy/oxblood, which can go with black/navy/grey. And after that, make it your own style. I’d personally go with a light tan/walnut, but all depends what you like to wear. Three more things: 1. Always buy a matching belt with shoes unless you’re always wearing braces/suspenders. 2. Yes, brown/tan goes with grey. Quite well actually. Grey is a neutral tone and so is brown. My favorite combination is actually a light grey suit and light tan shoes/belt. 3) Buy the best shoes you can afford. Even better, look on places like eBay, Poshmark, FB Marketplace for high end secondhand shoes. My personal recommendation is Allen Edmonds, because they are the most comfortable dress shoe I’ve ever worn and they are durable as hell if cared for. I’ve got a pair of black AE Fifth Avenues that are going on 15 years old and still polish up like new. New, they’re probably out of the budget for most graduating college guys ($400-500), but you can get them secondhand for $100-150 and trust me on this….that pair of secondhand shoes WILL be more comfortable than the pair you’ll pay $75 for new.
There is no shame in being dressed well and it opens up a lot of opportunities in our professional lives. This is free game being passed down from our elders and we would be remiss to not take some of this advice and apply it to our lives. I don't agree with every piece of advice Steve tells his audience but this is some great stuff.
Really depends on where you live and what your line of work is. In a lot of fields business casual is pretty much all you need along with one really nice suit for weddings and such. In the tech industry we don’t even need that - Ive seen CTOs and CEOs showing up in t-shirt and jeans for networking events
@@randombutspecific It's a geographical thing I've found. Some professions need their own uniforms (healthcare, military, law enforcement, etc) but others, especially on the East Coast, do value candidates who are dressed well with a nice demure suit and a nice shirt. West Coast professional attire is way more relaxed, especially in the tech fields; however, if you're in finance, law, government, banking, academia, business, etc -- especially on the East Coast where most of those jobs are concentrated -- a suit and jacket is pretty much expected attire.
@@Ali-jx1ub Unless you’re talking extreme temperature situations, anyone who thinks a suit is uncomfortable is wearing the wrong suit. Cheap material that isn’t tailored? Yeah, uncomfortable as 40 grit boxers. A decent quality suit that has been properly tailored is as comfortable as anything else you can wear.
Starting a new job. Going from casual wear in the office (old job) to formal office wear (new job). This advice is great. Got the black suit already, just got the grey today. Loads of different shirts already. So many options. Will be getting the navy in a few days time and that’ll do me for a while.
I hope more guys listen to this, men look hot in suits and those are the best neutral colors to own... A mentor told me that a majority of people like 5 basic colors, when I was learning how to set up a website for business purposes... Black, white, gold, blue and beige/tan. Because just like you said, those colors go with just about everything. Except for me it was silver instead of white because I was selling jewelry I made while being homeless so I could get back and forth to work 🤭 but it worked for when I needed it. I know that struggle all too well, and God got me out of it. Love all the advice you give and encouragement and most of all that you honor God and help keep things in perspective.
He ain't wrong at all. I lost my clothes in a fire. The first set of clothes I've bought is a black suit with two white shirts and a pair of black shoes. Over the years I've kept adding on by getting other color suits while I was job hunting. After all these years, I'm just missing one suit (tan). I have all different color shirts. Thanks for the refresher course, Steve. 😎
Black suit, white shirt, a variety of ties, one tie must be black. No matter the event the black suit with white shirt is not the wrong option, just change the tie based on the occaision, going to a sad event the black tie is the one to wear, and for all other events change the tie based on the theme. And that's if you're the kind of guy who doesn't regularly need a suit.
Not sure if we’re from different cultures but from what I’ve learned, black suits are only really acceptable for funerals or very formal events. If it’s a wedding/party one should always wear a lighter color
I am a college student who is about to graduate and I have token this advice to heart. Not to mention the combinations that all look really good, looking nice in them has boosted my confidence tremendously. Whether it's for social or business, I feel confident in my look with these suits.
As a professional truck driver, this makes 100 percent sense! Besides, wearing any of these suits will make people second guess what a man actually does for a living.
The only thing I would disagree with is getting a black suit as your first suit. Black is too formal for everyday wear and contrary to popular belief black does not go with everything. Get navy or charcoal for your first suit 👌🏻
What about shoes? Do black shoes go with every combination? Any other color to look at? What about style of shoe? Personally I like brogues or boots but do they go with the suit combinations? Prefer personally a dress boot as a way for a shorter man (>5'8") to sneak in an extra inch or so.
As a business owner that’s not wrong but that’s not a hundred percent true.. some of the that work with my company saw me first in a fricking tracksuit on my free time. So, i dress totaly different in my free time, but the people not always judge me as a dummy, but on the other way u right, had a few experiences where the people though i was just someone with no ambitions ever more as a brazilian in europe. 😅
One of the only fashion pieces of advice I disagree on just slightly is the black suit. Go with a dark charcoal grey instead. It’s every bit as versatile, every bit as appropriate for those events, but the dark grey isn’t as sharp of a contrast and will blend better with shirt/tie combinations. It also keeps you from looking like the “I don’t know much about dressing so I bought black” guy. Just a little bit more refined. After you’ve got your basic suit collection, then buy a black one and keep it reserved for specific events, namely funerals.
Dark charcoal is good for everything but a funeral and a black tie event. Black is good for everything including those. When you are first starting out, go black. Follow that up with the dark charcoal and navy. After that, you really don't need to buy anything else else you are wearing suits daily.
@@robertlunderwood We’re probably splitting hairs, because even at the last funeral I was at, I saw one other suit, and that was the funeral director. Anything would have been an improvement…black/grey/charcoal/whatever. Well, except for Steve’s partner’s lavender pinstripes. 😂
@@robertlunderwood Right Every guy should have a black suit at bare minimum (I'm one of those bare minimum guys). It's versatile and can worn for almost any occasion
@@robertlunderwood Black suit is not really "good" for a black-tie event cause that's supposed to be a tuxedo. Having said that, I will wear my black suit for a black-tie event next week. Not gonna buy a tux for this.
Steve Harvey is an inspiration to all Americans , cuz only in America can you be homeless living in a car and then later become a multimillionaire and Just over all a great person
Every male is general needs to use this advice If you just gotta have one suit to start off with, go with black because you can wear a black suit to almost any occasion
Men's Warehouse is worth the money though. Most places you go to will offer Polyester suits while they offer Wool, which is higher quality. You'll find that often times it is comfier and easier to maintain if you handle it right. Egara is a good brand to start with for any teens in the market for cheapish suits of good quality. I have two and they are both really good. If you want more high quality from Men's Warehouse, then go to Joseph Abboud, top of the line suits right there. 🤟
FWIW, I put these suit combinations into ChatGPT and asked for every possible combination, without mentioning Steve Harvey, and it gave me exactly 75: black pants Black jacket Navy pants Navy jacket Gray pants Gray jacket Brown pants Brown jacket Tan pants Tan jacket white shirt Cream shirt Powder blue shirt Can you give me a list of every possible combination of these outfits? Sure! Here's a list of every possible combination of the outfits you mentioned: Black pants + Black jacket + White shirt Black pants + Black jacket + Cream shirt Black pants + Black jacket + Powder blue shirt Black pants + Navy jacket + White shirt Black pants + Navy jacket + Cream shirt Black pants + Navy jacket + Powder blue shirt Black pants + Gray jacket + White shirt Black pants + Gray jacket + Cream shirt Black pants + Gray jacket + Powder blue shirt Black pants + Brown jacket + White shirt Black pants + Brown jacket + Cream shirt Black pants + Brown jacket + Powder blue shirt Black pants + Tan jacket + White shirt Black pants + Tan jacket + Cream shirt Black pants + Tan jacket + Powder blue shirt Navy pants + Black jacket + White shirt Navy pants + Black jacket + Cream shirt Navy pants + Black jacket + Powder blue shirt Navy pants + Navy jacket + White shirt Navy pants + Navy jacket + Cream shirt Navy pants + Navy jacket + Powder blue shirt Navy pants + Gray jacket + White shirt Navy pants + Gray jacket + Cream shirt Navy pants + Gray jacket + Powder blue shirt Navy pants + Brown jacket + White shirt Navy pants + Brown jacket + Cream shirt Navy pants + Brown jacket + Powder blue shirt Navy pants + Tan jacket + White shirt Navy pants + Tan jacket + Cream shirt Navy pants + Tan jacket + Powder blue shirt Gray pants + Black jacket + White shirt Gray pants + Black jacket + Cream shirt Gray pants + Black jacket + Powder blue shirt Gray pants + Navy jacket + White shirt Gray pants + Navy jacket + Cream shirt Gray pants + Navy jacket + Powder blue shirt Gray pants + Gray jacket + White shirt Gray pants + Gray jacket + Cream shirt Gray pants + Gray jacket + Powder blue shirt Gray pants + Brown jacket + White shirt Gray pants + Brown jacket + Cream shirt Gray pants + Brown jacket + Powder blue shirt Gray pants + Tan jacket + White shirt Gray pants + Tan jacket + Cream shirt Gray pants + Tan jacket + Powder blue shirt Brown pants + Black jacket + White shirt Brown pants + Black jacket + Cream shirt Brown pants + Black jacket + Powder blue shirt Brown pants + Navy jacket + White shirt Brown pants + Navy jacket + Cream shirt Brown pants + Navy jacket + Powder blue shirt Brown pants + Gray jacket + White shirt Brown pants + Gray jacket + Cream shirt Brown pants + Gray jacket + Powder blue shirt Brown pants + Brown jacket + White shirt Brown pants + Brown jacket + Cream shirt Brown pants + Brown jacket + Powder blue shirt Brown pants + Tan jacket + White shirt Brown pants + Tan jacket + Cream shirt Brown pants + Tan jacket + Powder blue shirt Tan pants + Black jacket + White shirt Tan pants + Black jacket + Cream shirt Tan pants + Black jacket + Powder blue shirt Tan pants + Navy jacket + White shirt Tan pants + Navy jacket + Cream shirt Tan pants + Navy jacket + Powder blue shirt Tan pants + Gray jacket + White shirt Tan pants + Gray jacket + Cream shirt Tan pants + Gray jacket + Powder blue shirt Tan pants + Brown jacket + White shirt Tan pants + Brown jacket + Cream shirt Tan pants + Brown jacket + Powder blue shirt Tan pants + Tan jacket + White shirt Tan pants + Tan jacket + Cream shirt Tan pants + Tan jacket + Powder blue shirt
I wish Mr Harvey have a follow-up video on those 5set suits & how he combines them...like asking to create a 75 set for my husband!!! (I already got him a black as it was required in a wedding invite) 😂😝😆😛😁😜🤣 This should be like a challenge!!! 75set suit!
Will this work for women? Looking to start a job and have always had positions that did not have a dress code. Applying to better jobs when I graduate. Any advice from fellow RUclipsr's would be great. 🥰
I think you can do the same with skirts, blazers and blouses. Same colors, as he said you cannot mess up with those combinations, those are pretty neutral and fancy enough colors.
I’m a woman, and I’m not even an office professional, but I follow this advice just to look conservative and well put together. Black, gray, navy blue, brown, tan, green and white put together in the right ways make someone look a lot more serious. Ladies invest in some nice slacks, and sweaters and loafers.
Personally, I'm not a fan of brown and tan, but still, if you pick carefully this works. I'd probably swap the brown and tan for charocal and burgundy or maybe a dark hunter green, and the cream shirts for a grey and black one. Still all mix and match that way
I agree with the suit advice for other people out there. But, Just Saying I Like it when my Suits match the same color. If i have on Tan Jacket i must wear tan pants. No mix.n match . Also since im skinny and 5,8" I wear slim two-button Suits only. blazers are optional. Also dress shoes dress socks need to.blend with the suit as well. Bowtie on Special Occasions, But a Tie must be with my dress shirt. Handkerchief are optional if needed.
get yourself 2 off-white shirts, 1 dior jacket, 3 pairs of yeezys, and a steve harvey gucci belt. you got 3 combinations with these clothes, you cannot mess up
And get them tailored. It makes ALL the difference. I see so many guys, especially older guys ,which is odd, whose every suit it two sizes to big. Make friends with your tailor when you find a good one. A good tailor can make a cheap suit look fantastic. Oh and learn how to where a suit. The etiquette and the confidence. Finally, wear them every chance you get.
Does this really work for patterned suits? Right now I have a plain black and charcoal plaid suit - with my eyes on a navy pinstripe if I see one in my size - will this mix & match work between the different designs and patterns?
Pinstripe and plaid go as well as oil and water. Plaid will work with heather, pinstripe will work with block or blank. Paisley goes with anything depending on your outrageous levels lol.
Why feel bad for him? Suits are a bit overrated, sure they look nice but they aren't necessary and they're mad uncomfortable No need to feel bad for him
Texas Guy, why would you go to church? Lol most people don't go to church, and even if you were why wear a damn suit? Also, being religious is a sign of being unintelligent

As a female I am doing the same thing
I agree with Zealous Chief and it doesn’t matter what industry you are in you not wearing 75 suit combinations to work you will if you go out
Bro college kids can’t afford 5 suits . Unless your are spoiled with rich parents
As a professional custom tailor he is correct. With this wardrobe you don't need to do any shopping for 2 years .
two whole years? gotta stock up on 50 pairs then
See I’ve always been taught that the color of the jacket should match the pants. This changes though with sport coats but not suits.
I disagree on a couple of things he says, and I’d like to hear your opinion as a tailor.

@@robertlunderwood We’re probably splitting hairs, because even at the last funeral I was at, I saw one other suit, and that was the funeral director. Anything would have been an improvement…black/grey/charcoal/whatever.
Well, except for Steve’s partner’s lavender pinstripes. 😂
@@robertlunderwood Right
Every guy should have a black suit at bare minimum (I'm one of those bare minimum guys). It's versatile and can worn for almost any occasion
@@robertlunderwood Black suit is not really "good" for a black-tie event cause that's supposed to be a tuxedo. Having said that, I will wear my black suit for a black-tie event next week. Not gonna buy a tux for this.
Thank you Steve from a young black man learning taste for style
Thank you Steve. You seem like a good man. God bless you.
Thank you for the advice.. now I need a money for these to happen.
Love this advice, but I would say , professionally, the powder blue shirt is shifting to a light sleight grey shirt.
Sir, what about them shirts and shoes... what's the ideal color combinations for those things
And also, if you add 2 ties to that 75 combination, you can get a total of 150 combinations
The unsaid part: “if you don’t stay in shape, you have to get new suits.”
Yes true. Good one. On that note, time for me to go for an evening stroll. Need to fit nicely in my pants!
That is the best motivation to stay fit!
Steve Harvey is an inspiration to all Americans , cuz only in America can you be homeless living in a car and then later become a multimillionaire and Just over all a great person
Every male is general needs to use this advice
If you just gotta have one suit to start off with, go with black because you can wear a black suit to almost any occasion
Men's Warehouse is worth the money though. Most places you go to will offer Polyester suits while they offer Wool, which is higher quality. You'll find that often times it is comfier and easier to maintain if you handle it right. Egara is a good brand to start with for any teens in the market for cheapish suits of good quality. I have two and they are both really good. If you want more high quality from Men's Warehouse, then go to Joseph Abboud, top of the line suits right there. 🤟
FWIW, I put these suit combinations into ChatGPT and asked for every possible combination, without mentioning Steve Harvey, and it gave me exactly 75:
black pants
Black jacket
Navy pants
Navy jacket
Gray pants
Gray jacket
Brown pants
Brown jacket
Tan pants
Tan jacket

Cream shirt
Powder blue shirt

I wish Mr Harvey have a follow-up video on those 5set suits & how he combines them...like asking to create a 75 set for my husband!!!
(I already got him a black as it was required in a wedding invite)
😂😝😆😛😁😜🤣
This should be like a challenge!!! 75set suit!
fire advice from a style icon
Great advice on fashion. Fewer dress sharper than Steve Harvey.
the original content should make more comments than other clips out there
Solid advice. My favorite part is the guy at 1:20 with the “fuckin slayer” shirt🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I am taking this advice no matter what l am in😍😍😍😍
Great great GREAT ADVICE.
Under appreciated aspect of this is him promoting affordable stores like Kohls and Macys.
This is good uncle advice right here lol
What color shoes do i need with this combination? Black, brown, and grey?
Will this work for women? Looking to start a job and have always had positions that did not have a dress code. Applying to better jobs when I graduate. Any advice from fellow RUclipsr's would be great. 🥰
I think you can do the same with skirts, blazers and blouses. Same colors, as he said you cannot mess up with those combinations, those are pretty neutral and fancy enough colors.
Always get a navy suit for war!
Every man, every married woman, and every mother with an adult son was taking notes through that whole video. 😂
Can i apply this guide to pants and shirt too?
Took that advice. the combinations are crazy
Id like to think he just started talking about this outta nowhere unprompted lmao
I’m a woman, and I’m not even an office professional, but I follow this advice just to look conservative and well put together.
Black, gray, navy blue, brown, tan, green and white put together in the right ways make someone look a lot more serious.
Ladies invest in some nice slacks, and sweaters and loafers.
i watched this man since middle school and i rarely saw him outside of a suit. this was lampshaded in a episode of his show
Steve: Now this not where you start
YT: 😂 0:05
Thank you so much Steve I had to come back to this and see this it's all in my notes in my phone thank you
Steve Harvey...your story have help and change my life alot...from Nigeria ❤️
This is gr8 advise. Thanks brotha Steve.
He probably stole that idea from someone too lol 😂
STEVE HARVEY IS THE BEST DRESSED MAN IN THE UNITED STATES !!! TASTE FUL AND CLASSIC !!!
This video is more important now than ever before
Thanks Steve :)
This advice save my life
Although I hear if you're stuck with one suit, get charcoal or navy instead of black because they are even more versatile.
Personally, I'm not a fan of brown and tan, but still, if you pick carefully this works. I'd probably swap the brown and tan for charocal and burgundy or maybe a dark hunter green, and the cream shirts for a grey and black one. Still all mix and match that way
Spot on advice. 💯
What about the color of the shoes for these suits?
Can you please do a guide for shoes belts and ties??
I got the grey, navy and black suit. I got 2 white shirts, and a powder blue shirt. I am following this video until I get the 5.
Do these color combos still work if you buy waist coats in the same color as your suits?
What about color shoes for each pants?
Word! I’m off too Khols! Thank you Steve!
the math. 5*5*3 = 75. (Suit tops * Suit pants * Shirts)
I agree with the suit advice for other people out there.
But, Just Saying I Like it when my Suits match the same color.
If i have on Tan Jacket i must wear tan pants. No mix.n match .
Also since im skinny and 5,8" I wear slim two-button Suits only. blazers are optional.
Also dress shoes dress socks need to.blend with the suit as well.
Bowtie on Special Occasions, But a Tie must be with my dress shirt. Handkerchief are optional if needed.
Black, navy, grey, brown, tan, & 2 white shirt, cream, powder blue
Definitely taking this advice
get yourself 2 off-white shirts, 1 dior jacket, 3 pairs of yeezys, and a steve harvey gucci belt. you got 3 combinations with these clothes, you cannot mess up
And get them tailored. It makes ALL the difference. I see so many guys, especially older guys ,which is odd, whose every suit it two sizes to big. Make friends with your tailor when you find a good one. A good tailor can make a cheap suit look fantastic. Oh and learn how to where a suit. The etiquette and the confidence. Finally, wear them every chance you get.
I just realised this man already taught me more then my father
Does this really work for patterned suits? Right now I have a plain black and charcoal plaid suit - with my eyes on a navy pinstripe if I see one in my size - will this mix & match work between the different designs and patterns?
Pinstripe and plaid go as well as oil and water. Plaid will work with heather, pinstripe will work with block or blank.
Paisley goes with anything depending on your outrageous levels lol.
Only Steve Harvey would know about suits
I’m 6’4”. I can’t go to Kohl’s or Macys for suits. They don’t believe in guys over 6 feet tall. So I have to go to retailers like Mens Wearhouse
Permutations and combinations entered the chat
You'd have 90 outfit if you also consider not wearing a jacket.
Worn a suit exactly one time in my life, on my wedding day. One and done.
Is this a brag? I feel bad for you. I wear a suit 2-3 times a week, I love it.
Do you not go to church? Good grief.
@@Texasguy316 not everyone goes to church
Why feel bad for him?
Suits are a bit overrated, sure they look nice but they aren't necessary and they're mad uncomfortable
No need to feel bad for him
Texas Guy, why would you go to church? Lol most people don't go to church, and even if you were why wear a damn suit?
Also, being religious is a sign of being unintelligent
This guy told me that at 22, I didn’t understand what he was really telling me until now.
I'm 26, just bought a blue jacket and 2 shirts, wish I could afford them all, best of luck brother😉
Which colour shoes would combine with these suits?
flyod needs to learn these😂😂,with schoolbag😂❤
The video that has given a job to every GRWM Instagram influencer ever since 😂😂💀💀
Black suit
Black navy, brown tan, white
Two white shirt,
Two cream shirt,
Two powder blue shirt.
Beige pants
Black pants
Thx
What color shoes and belt? Would a black belt and black shoes do with all of them??
Wisdoms speaks
This trick is insane
My mind is stil blown
Me too!!!!
As much as i love a classic pin stripe suit its uses are fairly limited.
💯💯💪🏾 y'all youngins might not remember the crisp fresh Steve Harvey hair cut though.
i just want to know why hes giving the family feud crowd fashion advice as the staff cleans the stage😂
*adding extra 2 black shirts to the list 😏
Whatrs the best material for suit
