Gray Suits

When you picture a gray suit, it can be in a light, dark or charcoal gray color. A silver suit also falls in this category.

A light gray suit is less formal than other variations of the color. You may have spotted light gray suits at a semi-formal event, country club party or beach wedding. It is more of a morning suit and has a softer vibe than, say, a charcoal gray suit. You could also wear one to make a trendy business casual or smart-casual statement.
