Good morning gentlemen, So we all hear that black is basically for formal wear, yet we see people wearing black all the time most women and men think that black makes them look slimmer. But when it comes to men’s suits we tend to think that black suits should only be worn at night and for formal wear. I tend to disagree, I think that if you take a black suit and pair it with a color shirt or tie, and a pocket square it does not have to be formal. I took this black suit with a light blue shirt, the tie has black and some light blue in it, and pocket square to bring it all together throw in a pair of black monogram cuff links, and black suspenders (braces). Now you can wear like a red color shirt, lavender, and some other colors with ties, and pocket to make it less formal. Should a man have a black suit in his wardrobe? Absolutely, can he use it for non formal especially if he does not have many suits in his wardrobe to help add to his wear? I believe so. I know men that have black suits that maybe wear once a year because of this mindset. But you can work this into you wardrobe and add more to your daily wear. This is my opinion. And by the way I have received several comments wearing this and actually has a photographer ask tif she could take my picture for her freelance magazine.
