There was only one human being on the entire planet who ever managed to carry off wearing a brown suit: Ronald Reagan. Brown, in fact,was his color.

But, if you have a brown suit in your closet, burn it! If you are thinking of buying one that you saw, pluck your eyes out. Brown suits just don’t work. Just about every skin tone looks bad in a brown suit and should you find yourself appearing on television or speaking at a public event, a brown suit is just about as bad as wearing a black belt with brown dress shoes. Maybe worse.

For whatever reason, a brown suit says to the world: wimp! May not be fair, but that’s the way it is.

Stick to dark color suits such as black, navy, gray, pinstripe. But, NOT brown for God’s sake.

True,there are times when brown seems to be chic. But, that usually means for fashion models and not you, the average, everyday, American male.

You like brown? Buy a brown car. Get a brown cat or dog. Buy a brown painting. Eat a brown food. BUT, under no circumstances should you buy or wear a brown suit. Got it?
