Why a Black Suit is the Most Versatile Choice

[JJ Katz]

Ah, such a clever riposte...

I think the general point is that there is invariably a better option than black when it comes to suits. Whether or not certain combinations can occasionally look good is immaterial.

When I see a guy wearing a black suit, I immediately know one thing about him. He certainly is not member of this forum.

Let’s just say you’re a work as a tradie (plumber, electrician etc), you own one good suit and you have the following events to attend:

a) Wedding: wear the black suit with a blue shirt and silk tie,

b) Ball or black tie wedding to attend: wear the black suit with a cocktail shirt, black bowtie, patent leather shoes and you have a perfect dinner suit (aka tux).

c) Funeral: black suit, open neck white shirt, dark sunglasses.

d) Races: wear the black suit with a panama hat and cornflower on derby day.

e) Career change: job interview: black suit with a tie

f) Court appearance: Not guilty, Your Honour.

Case Dismissed.

Let’s just say you work as a tradie (plumber, electrician etc), you own one good suit and you have the following events to attend:

a) Wedding: wear the NAVY suit with a blue shirt and silk tie,

b) Ball or black tie wedding to attend: Get a tux or don’t go.

c) Funeral: NAVY suit, white shirt, dark tie, dark sunglasses. Agree with others that black is rarely worn to funerals anymore.

d) Races: wear the NAVY suit with a panama hat and cornflower on derby day.

e) Career change: job interview: NAVY suit with a tie

f) Court appearance: Not guilty, Your Honour.

I rest my case.

I think Paul Manafort might be the only person who's gone to a black tie wedding, ball, the races, endured a career change, and then eventually wound up in court/ jail.
