Mr. Hugo Jacomet = AWESOME!!!

Good evening, Hugo. First of all, thank you for the video. I'd like to say that as a lower-class neapolitan I was at first very puzzled at the reputation black suits had in the menswear web community. I've been watching my grandfather and his friends wear black suits almost everyday since I was a kid thus I found it very natural for me to think of "the suit" as black. When I observed this peculiarity I asked grandpa why black's such a dominant colour amongst old people and he said that when they were young, they couldn't afford to get their suits cleaned very often so they would buy what was the most convenient alternative: black unstructured suits made from very hardwearing wool. When I asked him why he didin't consider charcoal grey he said as a young man he always saw his dad and other adults wear nothing but black. Blue, grey and other colours were stuff for " 'e signur' " (meaning: the rich people). Looking around in the poorer neighboorhoods in Naples I see old men wearing black suits in the most curious ways. Some of them wear them with light blue shirts, some of them even with checks and flanel shirts. I think it's because they just don't have a choice, but they all look very dignified and self-conscious. I wanted to share with you and all the community this aesthetic because it has a deep historic and social background and inspires a great respect for these poor yet incredibly elegant people.

Black suits are for formal occasions. The guests at weddings I have been to or observed wear jeans and polos. I have attended funerals at which people wore Lions jackets and jeans. Normally I'm the only one in a black suit. If I wear a light grey suit and tie to dinner the staff will offer compliments and ask "What's the special occasion?" The same thing happens if I wear a black peak, blue plaid or burgundy suit and tie. I wear what I think looks and feels good on me and most people just tell me I look great. Wear what you want to wear. Thank you for the great videos!

I like the idea of black suits made with more casual fabrics like corduroy or linen, paired accordingly with more casual accompaniments like turtlenecks. I've seen some people do it extremely well. It would be a more forgiving entry point into wearing black, I think. It definitely takes a well experienced sartorialist such as yourself to successfully pull off a black worsted.

I agree that black suits are tricky. For me, as well as bouncers, they also conjure up the image of funeral attire! However, a sharp black suit looks awesome so to try to take a sidestep away from the negative images I aim for very dark charcoal grey. Almost but not quite black. In the winter months I have a very nice dark charcoal grey suit made from a coarser wool but it looks great with my beat up dark brown brogues (made to look distressed already) and my dark brown Optimo fedora. I usually wear a fine roll neck sweater rather than a shirt. I believe black and brown can work together but it requires very subtle matching to pull it off!

I honestly love your videos! This time I couldn't overlook a hair on the lapel of your jacket. I like the idea, that you've placed it there intentionally, in order to give us an additional reason, to not put black suits as a first option!. :)

Dear Mr Jacomet, Thank you for your continued efforts, I very much enjoy listening to you talk. Your passion for the sartorial is obvious. This episode was of particular interest to me, as my first suit was a black suit. I find that the black suit is too formal, so I only wear mine for one type of occasion. This brings me to my point. You mentioned that only security guards wear black ties with black suits. My black suit, when worn, is always paired with a black tie and black handkerchief. The reason for this, is that I only wear my black suit for funerals. My vocation does not require me to dress formally, but I adore wearing suits. I think that many men would do so if they thought that they could carry it off. Gentlemen, you can, so please do so. Again, Mr Jacomet, thank you very much for your excellent observations. I would be interested to hear and see your thoughts, on the topic of hats and gloves. Bonne chance, et très bonne santé.

I am sort of an odd case, I did the opposite of your sartorial path, I've been wearing suits more or less everyday since I was 15 and I am now 31, up until I was 27 almost all of my suits were black. I did it because I was tall, athletic and poor (plus I didn't know any better) blacks always came in my size, where cheap and easy to upkeep and match. It took me many years to pull it off, I used to get comments like I was going to a funeral or was a limo driver, but once I got my suits tailored, got a nice pair of glasses, chelsea boots, ties, pocket squares, and shirts, I get compliments every time I leave the house. I now have suits in all the main colors but I find that black suits me best. Any day in a black suit must be treated as a special day because of the formality of it, so to wear it in an everyday manner requires a bold or passionate personality. It is very befitting of you Hugo.

The best combinations with a black suit I saw or tried were 1. Black suit, light blue shirt, red necktie - I think this combination is quite popular among US-politicians and you need a good hand in choosing an interesting tie so it doesn't look boring, but otherwise I really like it. 2. Black suit, white shirt, a simple dove blue bow tie, gold cufflinks and belt buckle - I found it very suiting for evening events if you don't have a tuxedo. 3. Hugo's combination with white shirt and that bluish grey tie ;)

As a freelance musician, the black suit is the uniform, apart from the tuxes or tails for evening performances. I wear mine (dark charcoal with a subtle pinstripe actually) more than my "nice" suits!

My black suit is a three-piece, peak lapel, with a double-breasted waistcoat. The fabric is a Marozzo with black woven pinstripes (to give some visual interest). It has rusty/silver lining. I occasionally wear it with a pair of brown shoes and my straw Stetson, because I feel like it plays with the lining, especially when I take off the coat. I then pair it with a wine-colored tie with a large floral pattern in gold and sky-blue.

This is as European as it gets. Magnificent fashion style!

Even members of Parliament aren’t required to wear a tie. One thing I noticed about the older generation, boomers, and the younger generation is the way they dress! Boomers wearing jeans and a dress shirt, the millennial was wearing a 3 piece suit. So, the standards are raising back up.

I've worn a black suit with my oxblood shoes and dark red tie with a white pocket square that has a dark red trim a few times and I think it works because the tie, shoes and pocket square trim are the same colour. I've had a fair few compliments on it too. Admittedly I think the only reason I can pull it off is because I have looooong black hair and have a distinctly "goth" appearance. I doubt someone with short and fair hair would be able to pull it off. I think it also helps that my black suits are all patterned too.
