Black. Every man looks good in it. It’s a scientific fact.
And with winter and fall climes ahead, ’tis the season to go all in. Because an all-black outfit is always sharp and never boring — just ask Johnny Cash.
The key is texture. Nothing looks more rookie than an all-black outfit that’s all cotton. Mix it up. Wools. Jerseys. Leather.
Another way to add interest: different shades of black (yes, that’s a thing). It provides your contrast. Midnight blue? Pretty much black.
Then there are the accessories: little bits of black here and there can really complete the look.
Below, we round up a few ideas to help you achieve the look. Oh, and pro-tip: don’t jaywalk after dark.
