The Best Black Suits for Men Are the Sexiest Tailoring Money Can Buy
By Rob Nowill
Maybe we’re crazy, but we think the best black suits for men deserve the “essential” title just as much as a 6-pack of white tees. Yes, a black suit will punctuate the major milestones in your life: weddings, job interviews, funerals. (And for that reason, most of us tend to overlook them for anything else.) But done right, a great black suit is a reliable fixture for any time you want to look a little sharper, a little sleeker, and a little more put together. There’s a reason why it’s the only thing worn by reigning indie cool-kid The Dare: done right, a black suit is an inherently sexy garment. That said, there are suits, and there are suits. Pay attention to the depth of color: a wishy-washy black will fade with wear, leaving sad-looking worn patches on the elbows and knees. The shoulder line should be clean, with no lumps or bumps: either sharply cut (with or without some slight padding to make your silhouette more defined), or gently sloping over the shoulder for more casual styles. And the trousers need to pick a lane: either a precise slim-straight leg, or a more relaxed, roomier cut with a bit of swing. Anything in between could look like a school uniform. Or, of course, you could just consult our list of the best ones on the market right now, and know that we’ve already done the hard work for you.
