Throughout cultures and history, the colour black has been the vehicle of many meanings and in the modern world of fashion, black is the epitome of power and elegance. It is basic but never understated in its simplicity. A black suit seems to keep its cards close to its chest, never divulging more information than necessary and maintains a sense of power and authority, unlike any other colour. Exuding an aura of mystery, a black suit is just as sleek as it is bold.
There are many ways to create a black suit depending on its function and who is wearing it. For a more formal occasion or a classic black wedding suit, a sophisticated dinner suit with a satin lapel is always a go-to, or to stand out at an event, velvet can be a great option for those looking to make more of a style statement. A soft and simple black wool will provide the versatility to go from groom to boardroom, while a double-breasted black suit is perfect for the businessman with an evolved personal style who is ready to wear a suit with even greater connotations of power and authority.
To start off with a simple but luxurious, plain black wool suiting fabric, Loro Piana’s N707084 is a beautiful and durable option. For a subtle point of difference, a fine jacquard patterned wool such as the SV 105517-1000 is the perfect choice.
For those more formal events a lovely velvet such as Carnet’s CU175 or the unique, shimmering 853250 by Scabal are definitely to be considered, especially for those looking to take a step beyond the black dinner suit.
