I think the problem with a black suit is that it is so formal feeling. People used to have more formal clothing like a tuxedo, but the black suit has filled that role for most so it feels odd to wear it outside of formal events and funerals. Really cool to see the less formal ways to wear that suit! I love the idea of a polo or sweater, those open alot of possibilities for other suits as well. Great video as usual!
Thank you for this video brother people like me who grew up in the projects with no one to show them how to dress in the real world really appreciate it !!!
I would LOVE to see the all black with a black turtleneck. Maybe a coat too, maybe even on the shoulders? I’ve been thinking about getting an ensemble like that myself, and possibly a nice solid colored scarf to go with.
Do you think you could go through the different dress codes? Black tie, business formal, casual, semi formal etc. It can be a tad confusing knowing what qualifies and what doesn’t. Love your videos; they’re always great help (even as a woman)
White tie: white linen bow tie, black tailcoat and black dress pants with two decorative silk stripes at the side (2 for white tie and one for black tie), white tie waistcoat (a special waistcoat only for white tie and early vintage inspired black tie), patent leather oxford or opera pump, white dress shirt, that only takes shirt studs, with a stiff detachable wing collar, stiff single shirt cuffs for cufflinks, a stiff shirt front. A top hat is optional. Black tie: black silk bowtie, silk faced lapels on a black suit ( either single or double breasted with peak lapels or a shawl collar) if it's a two piece suit, you'll need a cumberbund ( a three piece suit would already have a waist covering), black oxfords or opera pumps in patent leather or properly shined leather. You could also swap the jacket for a dinner jacket( jacket in a contrasting color with a peak lapel or shawl collar, which can be self faced or faced in silk) or a smocking jacket ( a jacket with a shawl collar, closed with buttons, a toggle closure or a sash). You could wear velvet slippers with a smoking jacket. You shirt is white with a french cuff. It can't have visible buttons(closed with shirt studs or with a hidden fly) and it often has a decorative insert at the chest. Morning coat: a charcoal or black morning coat, a contrasting waistcoat, grey striped dress pants, regular white dress shirt with french cuffs, either a wedding tie, a formal ascot or a bow tie, black oxfords/balmoral boots/button boots. Stroller suit (Stresemann): regular charcoal jacket with a peak lapel, a grey wedding tie and an optional homburg hat. Otherwise it is identical to a morning coat ensemble. Black tie optional: the host would be happy to see you wearing black tie, but is okay with you just wearing a charcoal business suit, a white dress shirt, black oxfords and a formal neck tie( no flashy tie) Business formal: a dark suit (black, charcoal or navy) in a formal style (notch or peak lapel, single or double breasted and 2 or 3 piece), a white dress shirt, black oxfords( can have a cap toe, but is otherwise plain) and a tie ( blue or red are good options). Business casual: this depends on the enviroment, but the most formal interpretation would be a navy blazer with khakis, a white dress shirt and leather dress shoes( avoid oxfords and try derbys or monkstraps, niw you can also have a little bit of broguing) in brown( you can have black, but dark brown is more fitting ). Your tie can be the same as business formal. A less formal, but still classy interpretation would be a tweed sport coat (single breasted with notch lapels) combination. You pants can be khakis, chinos, corduroys or dark jeans. Skip the white dress shirt on this one. A light blue ocbd would the most classic, but and off white dress shirt is more refined. You can skip the neckwear here, but if you want to you can wear woolen neck or bowties in muted colors. Waistcoats aren't required, but can give you extra warmth if you want that. For this outfit your clothes shouldn't be shiny and should have some texture. Now you can also wear full brogue brown wigtip derbys to match the textured look. A cleaner quite casual look would be to wear an ocbd, khakis, brown monkstraps and no neckwear. Some companies might have different standarts, but you can't really go wrong with any of these options. Semi formal: a dumb term, that means nothing. Everyone has a different interpetation of it, but in my opinion the second business casual outfit is a good idea if you don't know any details. The Gentlemans Gazette has videos, which can be helpfull on this topic. Casual: Everyday clothing ( I wouldn't wear sweatpants and stained hoodies tho ) Wearing jeans, a t shirt, clean sneakers or boots and a jacket are a good starting point.
A black suit will always be in my wardrobe. It's a staple. Perfect for a multitude of occasions. All black is one of my favorites especially all black with a white tie and white square. Or any color. It pops against the black. Makes it look mysterious but classy.
The black suit is often criticized for its supposed lack of versatility, but I think you have presented a clear challenge to that here. I think a black suit, which is traditionally considered both formal and niched, requires more sartorial confidence to pull off well than navy or charcoal, especially when you attempt to dress it down, and perhaps that’s part of why it gets a bad rap. It also has a lot of connotations associated with it, thanks to both history and media. It’s true that the black suit has a built-in starkness due to its high contrast, especially when paired with the traditional white dress shirt, so men with certain combinations of hair and skin tone will find it flatters them less, but a black suit is slimming, a black suit is sophisticated, and a black suit lends a man a certain gravity that has real value when making a statement with an ensemble. I have brown skin and salt-and-pepper hair, so the black suit works well for me (even with a white shirt), and I consider it a wardrobe essential-so much so that I have TWO of them (worsted and cavalry twill)! When it comes to suits, black is beautiful! Thanks for this short video.
How do you make everything look so well thought and good on yourself. I imagine the same outfits on myself and I feel like i ll look like every other dude
I like wearing all black, but wearing all black doesn't like me. Neither do any of my clothes for that matter, since I look ridiculous no matter what I wear. But you my friend always look tremendous. Keep up the smooth work 👌
Black suit is … complicated 🤣🤦🏻♂️ Always a style statement and / or associated with formal events, so not really office appropriate / friendly to wear in many situations. I can see why navy and grey are the go-to’s (which also easily break up as separates), and then throw in a brown or even green option which still have more versatility. Agree it’s a 🔥 option to have in the wardrobe tho
Dark navy suit is much more versatile. Black is a bit too stark for most occasions outside a funeral. Black tuxedo is the only black “suit” I own and even then I think midnight blue looks nicer.
I think colours have gone softer over the years. My first suit was black but I've moved into blues and greys as they just look better in my opinion. Love this channel though.
@@codycast There are people out there truly obsessed with suit style. You can seek them out and they'll give you a laundry list of opinions regarding any setting you're trying to style up for.
@@Bynasf quite a few people including professional stylists (I used to be a buyer and agency owner in the fashion industry for many years). I have 5 suits as a staple capsule. 1 black, 3 blue, 1 grey.
@@MaximilianvonPinneberg I don’t know about the fashion industry but traditionally black suits are only worn for funerals. Mostly inappropriate for weddings and work related events unless you’re a bodyguard and stylist apparently
Absolutery love the all black one. And the lighter pocket square is a really nice touch- balances the whole look
Wedding or Funerals... Or Tarantino protagonists. Otherwise stick with 'charcoal'.
I don't like all black suits on lighter complexion. I think charcoal or midnight blue are better options... Yes on darker skin a boack suit is amazing
The all black looks killer!
I do the door at a nightclub and that’s our uniform. Always turns heads walking down the street
All black everything is a faux paus, unless if you're at a wedding..
@@michaelkawamura9296 start thinking for yourself.
Definitely gives the John Wick vibes
just like the blackshirts.....
oh jesus! that all black outfit looks criminally amazing on you. respectfully sir, you left me breathless
I inhaled very violently when I saw this all black one
He’s married with kids
Why he's not arrested ?@@slaphappybullet
The all black looked bonkers honestly. Amazing stuff!
Looked like a valet driver lol
That Vegas fit was 🤌🏼
the all black was gorgeous! never thought a suit would look that good with a sweater

Black suit is always a great choice
My favorite is the all black on black with the small pocket square to add personality. It is elegant and mysterious. ❤
Black suits are the most useful suits ever
Who told you this because that’s absolutely not the case

The all-black will look great with a red pocket square!
I wore an all black suit with open shirt for prom. Loved it as no one else was wearing it and I didn't wanna just blend in lol
How do you make everything look so well thought and good on yourself. I imagine the same outfits on myself and I feel like i ll look like every other dude
Love it with the sweater
How does someone look good in everything? 😮
All black is my preference...
number 3 and 4 are probably my favorites.....
Black suit is the most versatile
Nah definitely not, what makes you come to this conclusion
You can wear pink and orange and you would still look good
I like wearing all black, but wearing all black doesn't like me. Neither do any of my clothes for that matter, since I look ridiculous no matter what I wear.
But you my friend always look tremendous. Keep up the smooth work 👌
I like playing around with texture! I have a black tie with black silk roses on it. it's my favorite tie
Suit Shop is awesome, I got their black and blue suits
Any ideas on how to dress down a bow tie into a still formal but not tuxedo setting? Bonus points for suspenders!
dress shoes, funky socks for a pop of color, white shirt with rolled up sleeves, suspenders and said bowtie
I like the all Black look it makes a statement like LOOK ....I'm in charge now ...SIGMA MALE AT IT'S FINEST ....LOVE IT .

All black & the Vegas look clean thank you
As a band kid, wearing all black formal clothes screams “cheap concert black” when I put them on… baller fit tho
Dark navy suit is much more versatile. Black is a bit too stark for most occasions outside a funeral. Black tuxedo is the only black “suit” I own and even then I think midnight blue looks nicer.
Sweater and boots will start being my go to outfit for going out.
All black looks cool.
Every gorgeous man in K Dramas rocks a black suit.

Could you do a great Gatsby/1920s dinner party outfit?
Or perhaps an old Al Capone era gangster one?

Bros hair is so majestic
The second one is the best!
Genuinely all black suit i wear is my favorite no question
I love the all black set.
I really love the second suit you styled!
U have a good body so everything suits u
In menswear circles black suits usually come across as someone not knowing what they're doing (the whole my first suit for prom feel)
Unless… you can pull it off, like he did. It looked phenomenal on him.
“Menswear circles” ?
Worn like a suit, yes. But this guy shows how you can dress it down and utilize the stark black without looking too formal.
@@codycast There are people out there truly obsessed with suit style. You can seek them out and they'll give you a laundry list of opinions regarding any setting you're trying to style up for.
@@slicklolit’s not about not being able to style it, it’s that it’s inappropriate for most occasions.
There are less and less occasions to wear suits so people probably favor ones that inherently more fun.
I love your page
That all black was insane.
Pls pls make a video on how to style a sports blazer with jeans 🙏🙏
My boy can dress 😎
You look great
Love your videos parker
I just looking how great his hair is...

It's called genetics.
To all those who have no idea about dress code: black colour is the LEAST versatile colour. The most versatile is navy blue.
All black suit. Yeah
Since the 3rd Thor movie, I only think of an all black suit as the Loki suit.😅
