I know the general consensus here at SF is against the black suit but why?
Personally, I've seen some great patterns and color schemes while shopping for some new clothes (For example, navy with very light blue stripes or a cool looking navy with purple stripes as well as a charcoal with brown and subtle orange)... But I would tend to think that black would be the most versatile suit for formal occasions and events...
You could wear it to a funeral with a solid black tie or you could be more festive just by changing the shirt or tie at other formal events... If I had to choose just ONE NICE suit (bespoke or otherwise) with some real nice fabric, it would be a black suit with some subtle weave pattern (herringbone)... Why is that so wrong?
I've used the search function and couldn't find a good explanation...
I'm looking at this from a practical standpoint but please fire away...
