Much reminiscent of "North by Northwest", the gray suit is having a big comeback, particularly in the lighter wool variety. GQ covered it previously, now lots of stores seem to be erring toward the style.
Verdict:
Go for it. Lighter grays are hard to work with in some situations, so be careful, but a light gray suit is often very fashion-forward, so long as you pair it with something nice.

Would all styles of the work boot be acceptable? Even the lighter, beige boots? To be honest that sounds a bit vague. Some boots do look good and some make you look like a day laborer.
Thanks Kirk!
So now we know. Classic pants, dress shoes, utility jacket, cardigan.
Well, the cardigan for me is out of the question. Some men can pull it off quite well, I guess, but I just feel old and nerdy wearing one. I’d rather just feel young and nerdy instead.
Any absolute no-nos from last season? Anything that will make people frown at me (or worse) and say “that’s so 2008”? Can I still wear my cool, thin, solid colour sweaters and get respect?
Oh, and getting info on suits is always cool. But I doubt, given the origins of this place, that many people will actually wear them to work (if not college or high school). Good show nonetheless, kudos to Kirk!
