Black Suits

The history of the black suit originates in the Victorian era. In this period, formal dress codes were strictly enforced, especially on various social events and on mourning periods. 

It was from this era that the rule “the darker the suit, the more formal” originated. Thus, black suit for men were considered the most formal and appropriate. In this era, men would often pair their black suits with a white shirt, but some opted for all black suit.

Then, in the 20th century, the black suit became even more popular outside of formal events. Yet at the same time, the black "dinner suit" or  black tuxedo was invented and became the pinnacle of formalwear for men. 

Moving on, in the 1960s the “mod” subculture breathed a new life into the ever-popular black suit. Young men started experimenting and pairing their classic black suits with brightly-colored shirts, funky sunglasses, and trendy skinny ties

Even today, the timeless black suit remains a staple in men’s fashion sphere. In fact, it’s one of the most popular color for men’s formalwear. Naturally, there are some very strong reasons why black suit remains the quintessential staple when it comes to formal wear.

To begin, black is a very formal color. In general, the darker the suit, the more formal it is. So, black, being the darkest color, reigns supreme in the world of formalwear. Even if a man doesn’t want to invest in various different suits, he can just get a single black suit and it will accompany him to almost every occasion in his life.

Versatility is another reason why black suits are well-loved. But on the other hand, the black suit can also be dressed up or down easily. This means, a man can style his black suit in many ways to create various interesting outfits for different events. 

Furthermore, black is a universally flattering color; any man can appear more elegant and solemn with a black suit. Additionally, it goes well with almost every other color. Thus, the black suit is perfect for gentlemen who love experimenting with colors and patterns to make a statement. 

Due to its darker color, black suit is very durable and resistant to stains, which means it has a longer life expectancy compared to suits of different colors.
