Navy fitted T-shirt or navy crewneck sweater, navy pants
The designer famous for softening the suit almost never wore one himself. Armani favored fitted T-shirts in block colors and crewneck sweaters in navy or gray, and navy above all, whether taking a runway bow or off duty. He explained both halves of the idea himself: navy projected calm and actually relaxed him, and his all-navy uniform was his way of saying he made clothes and a million other things, so he had no time to think much about his own look. That is the useful lesson for anyone copying it. One color in a few good fabrics keeps a uniform from looking like a costume, and it lets the work, not the wearer, take the attention.
