One Suit- 5 ways- Authoritative

Suit: NY & Co, $45, Shirt: Loft, $10, Shoes: Latin market ($7)

I took fashion merchandising in high school, and I'll never forget my teacher talking about what different colors means- red being authoritative. She told us if we ever become teachers to make sure we wear red and black on the first day of school (which I have, all 5 times). I think this applies to so many moments in life- so of course I was looking for the authoritative color combo applied to the suit.
