Most men own one suit, and it's black, navy or grey. The Paul Lorenzo slim fit 2-piece suit comes in those three, plus eight brighter colors for the days when blending in isn't the point: prom, a color-themed wedding party, Halloween, the holiday party, Easter Sunday.
Every color is the same suit: a slim fit jacket and matching flat front pants for $89.99. At Ferrecci, our guiding principle is savoring the fruit of life's exploration, and a new suit color is one of the easiest places to start. Here's what you get, which color fits which occasion, and how to pick your size.

11 Colors, and When to Wear Each One
The cut and details are identical in every color, so the choice comes down to the occasion and the season. Each color has its own style guide with shirt, tie and shoe pairings.
| Suit | Best for | Style guide |
|---|---|---|
| Black | Evening weddings, galas, formal dinners, funerals, prom | How to wear a black suit |
| Navy | Job interviews, the office, weddings, church | How to wear a navy suit |
| Heather Grey | Daytime and outdoor weddings, graduations, church | How to wear a heather grey suit |

| Royal Blue | Prom, homecoming, groomsmen with a blue theme (limited sizes) | How to wear a royal blue suit |
| Burgundy | Fall weddings, homecoming, holiday parties | How to wear a burgundy suit |
| Hunter Green | Christmas parties, St. Patrick's Day, Mardi Gras | How to wear a hunter green suit |
| Pink | Prom, Valentine's Day, Easter, birthdays | How to wear a pink suit |
| Pale Mauve | Spring weddings, Easter, the Kentucky Derby | How to wear a pale mauve suit |
| Yellow | Halloween, the Kentucky Derby, Mardi Gras, statement looks | How to wear a yellow suit |
| Red | Christmas parties, Valentine's Day, performers and the stage | How to wear a red suit |
The everyday three: black, navy and heather grey. If this is your only suit, start here. Black is the most formal, navy is the most versatile, and heather grey is the daytime choice that photographs well outdoors.
The fall and winter colors: burgundy, hunter green and red. These are the holiday party suits. Burgundy also carries a fall wedding, and hunter green is a sharp alternative to navy from Thanksgiving through St. Patrick's Day.
The spring colors: pink, pale mauve and yellow. Easter, prom and the Kentucky Derby are where these shine. Keep the rest of the outfit simple, with a white shirt and one accent, and let the suit do the talking.
The blues: royal blue and indigo. Royal blue is a prom and homecoming favorite. Indigo reads darker and dressier. Both have limited sizes left, so check the product page for yours.
Bigger sizes? The Black Big & Tall 2-piece suit runs up to 72R and 72L. Our Big and Tall suit guide explains how to get the fit right.
A Halloween Costume in One Suit
A bright suit is a costume that's done in one step, and you can wear it again to prom, a wedding or the holiday party. A few ideas:
- Yellow: game show host, taxi cab, or the yellow crayon in a group costume.
- Red: the devil (add horns) or a ringmaster (add a top hat).
- Burgundy: vampire count with a cape and a top hat, or a 1920s mob boss.
- Hunter green: mad scientist (add goggles) or an evil mastermind.
- Pale mauve: zombie prom king. Just add face paint.
- Pink: 80s prom date or one half of a couples costume.
See every idea on our Halloween Costume Suits page, and order early so it arrives in time for the party.
Dressing a Group: Prom, Groomsmen and Quinceañeras
Because every color shares the same cut, a group can wear one color for a matched look, or give each person a different color for a rainbow effect that still looks coordinated in photos. Ordering is simple: each person picks his jacket size, and the matching pants come with it.
Orders over $150 ship free, so any two suits ship free. Buying for a store or a large group? Call (213) 745-2322 to ask about wholesale pricing.
How to Finish the Look
- Shirt: A white dress shirt works with every color. A black shirt with red or burgundy gives an evening, after-dark look.
- Tie or bow tie: With a bright suit, go solid and simple. A black or white tie keeps the focus on the color. Here's how to wear a bow tie.
- Shoes: Black shoes go with black, navy, grey, burgundy and red. Brown shoes work with navy, grey, hunter green, pale mauve and yellow.
- Details: A pocket square and a hat finish the outfit. See our guide to hats, pocket squares and the details, or browse Ferrecci hats.
Sizing: How the Drop 6 Works
Every Paul Lorenzo suit is cut as a drop 6: the pants waist is 6 inches smaller than the jacket size. Pick your jacket size and the pants are matched for you. Every size option lists both, for example 40R/34W.
| Jacket | Pant waist |
|---|---|
| 36R | 30W |
| 38R | 32W |
| 40R | 34W |
| 42R | 36W |
| 44R | 38W |
| 46R | 40W |
| 48R | 42W |
| 50R | 44W |
Choose the length by your height:
- Short (S): about 5'4" to 5'7". Sizes 34S to 46S.
- Regular (R): about 5'8" to 6'0". Sizes from 34R up to 66R, depending on color.
- Long (L): about 6'1" and taller. Sizes from 38L up to 58L, depending on color.
Not sure of your size? Measure around the fullest part of your chest; that number is your jacket size. Available sizes vary by color, and each product page shows what's in stock. The pants come full length, ready for hemming. For more fit tips, read How a Suit Should Fit, or call (213) 745-2322 and we'll help you pick.
