Investing in a plain black suit is a must for every man, or woman. Not only are they versatile, but they also add an extra layer of class to your look. At Pascalis Bespoke Tailoring, although we curate a range of suits in various colours, fabrics, and styles, the classic black suit is one that has stood the test of time, and this is because they are appropriate for many different occasions.

When made with the expert knowledge of a bespoke tailor using high-quality materials, and correctly cared for, your black suit can last for many years. Here are a few pointers to consider when investing in a black suit:

Invest properly

A black suit is something you’ll wear time and time again, so you will want something that will stand the test of time. Pay attention to the quality of the fabric, the construction and the fit. You may find a ready-to-wear black suit that fits perfectly, however, made-to-measure suits are usually the best option, especially for those that find it hard to find that perfect fit.

Don’t experiment with trends

Keep your suit classic, and you will not go wrong. Avoid adding embellishments like coloured stitching or lapel holes (unless you already have a simple black suit), pleats, cuffed trousers, or other trends.

Pair with a French Cuff shirt

It is not often that you get the chance to wear a French Cuff shirt, so if you are dressing up your black suit, we highly recommend it. It will also allow give you the opportunity to wear your cufflinks! Even if you aren’t going with a French Cuff, we recommend sticking with a white dress shirt.

As mentioned, plain black suits are extremely versatile. So, where can you where a black suit? Here is your answer:

In the office

Although some offices have recently become lenient in workplace attire, black suits are still considered professional, and should be a staple in every businessman’s wardrobe. They are ideal for formal meetings and work events where you need to look put-together, and professional.

Black-Tie Events

If you have ever been invited to a black-tie event, such as a wedding, or gala, you will know that typically means that you should wear a black suit. This is your opportunity to pair your suit with a playful pocket square, a bowtie and dress shoes.

Funerals

Funeral attire is typically classic in style and dark in colour. A black suit coupled with a white collared shirt, and a subtle tie is ideal for funeral wear.
