VALENCI · Style guide
The black suit revisited
Black is not just one silhouette. Are you going for a classic three-piece suit, a double row of buttons or a subtle check? Discover which black men's suit suits your occasion.
Which cut suits you?
A waistcoat gives a black outfit extra structure. A double-breasted jacket emphasizes the shoulders and row of buttons. And with a window pane you can add a pattern without losing the dark base. Compare the models and always look at the product page for size advice.

When to wear a black suit?
A black suit can be a strong choice for a formal dinner, an evening party or a business occasion with a formal dress code. However, a black suit is not automatically a tuxedo: if the invitation explicitly asks for black tie, check the requirements of that dress code. For a wedding, the dress code of the bridal couple always applies.
How do you combine a black men's suit?
A white shirt and black dress shoes keep the outfit sleek and calm. With the checked Architect Grid model you can keep accessories understated so that the pattern does the work. Compare more silhouettes and colors in the men's suit collection.
