Today, black, blue, and gray suits are more popular. Let's consider which shirts will suit them.
Under black
This is a classic suit. And it will perfectly harmonize with any shirts of different shades. Perhaps that is why you will find them in any man’s wardrobe.
Blue
This color of suit has recently become very popular among men. White, blue, burgundy or light pink shirts go well with it.
Grey
A gray suit will ideally harmonize with shirts in the following shades - pink, burgundy, black, purple, blue, turquoise.
Light
A beige suit must be complemented with a white, yellow or sand-colored shirt.And for a sand-colored suit, choose brown, beige or orange shirts.

By event
Depending on where you are going - to work, business negotiations, attending various events, it is necessary to take into account etiquette standards when choosing a suit. For an official style, bright colors are unacceptable; everything should be strict and tasteful. Such events include social events, charity evenings, and ceremonies.
Informal events allow for some concessions, for example, you can wear a blue suit with a burgundy shirt to a business meeting with a cup of coffee.
Remember that the color of your shirt and tie should match the tones of your date's outfit at the social event.
For work where there is no strict dress code, plain trousers are suitable. They will be complemented by a checkered shirt.
