If you want to really dress up in the fall, go for black suits

Winter is coming, time to suit up! Next toand thickWe want to show our best side even in the cold seasonget them from the back corners of the wardrobe (we wear them far too rarely anyway). Christmas parties are coming up, the holidays are coming faster than you canLast Christmascan sing and New Year's Eve won't be long in coming. For all these occasions we want to look good and have the right outfit at the start. And that's what we're seeing this seasonbefore. No, you didn't read it wrong,the classic is now really becoming modern again. We clarifythe most important questions.

If you only have onein your closet, there's a pretty good chance it's either dark blue or black. It's not without reason that two-piece suits in dark colors have become popular: they look elegant, are uncomplicated and versatile. This means there is a good chance that you already have the new smart fashion trend in your closet at home. We're seeing black suits everywhere right now, in fashion, at events, with influencers and on the street. They are always said to be boring and only worn by people who don't dare wear any other color. As you can imagine, we don't really care. The prejudice against black suits is no longer true this season. With them you don't come out as lame, but as a cool guy who regularly checks Esquire.de and knows what's popular.

For everyone who has already sprinted to the closet screaming with joy and proudly holding their confirmation suit in their hand, a small downer: Of course, this fashion trend is also linked to certain conditions. Not every black suit is a fashion trend, just like not every men's magazine can be as cool as us. It depends on the shape and cut. Just like our jeans, suits haven't been supposed to fit squeaky-tight for several years now, because that looks weird rather than sexy. Silhouette is okay, the pants don't have to be as wide as they have been since, but please spare us a hasty revival. It's better to wear a loose black suit with a flowing cut that sits well on the shoulders, leaves at least a fist size of space between the stomach and the jacket and with matching suit trouserscomes along. If your confirmation suit looks like this and still fits you, you can even wear it.

If you stand, it belongsbuttoned up. We don't actually care too much about any outdated etiquette rules and don't give a damn about the suit, but this season it's different. But not because a conservative rule dictates this, but because it is simply fashionable to fasten the buttons of your jacket, no matter when, no matter where, no matter how. Particularly cool: if the blazer is still thereis. Makes the look even more sophisticated and somehow more exciting. Not that black suits need that.

You have the black suit in the bag, the only question is what to wear with it and, above all, underneath it. The classic, one, please only if it isdemanded. The combination always works, but it can also be more modern. For example, replacing the white shirt with a black shirt, the black shirt with another black item of clothing such as turtlenecks, polos orexchanged or simply leave the top under the jacket completely. The latter option should only be used if the jacket can be folded over and you don't accidentally unbutton it at some point. Otherwise, the calculation “black suit + black top = fashion trend” remains.

Now all you need are the right accessories for the black suit to perfect the elegant smart wear look. This is also a good way to pimp up the suit with a few simple steps. Cool boots, loafers or cowboy boots (preferably also in black), for example, look much cooler than stuffy dress shoes. You can never go wrong with delicate jewelry, scarf, sunglasses, gloves, everything goes as long as it looks cool and the weather conditions allow it. When it comes to suits, the topic of ties always comes up. We didn't think we'd say this, but it's actually celebrating. So tie on, we don't take it too seriously when it comes to the shirt. Why not just do it like that?Gucciand put on the tie without a shirt at all? You can experiment a lot with black suits and its accessories. You can now do this without hesitation under the umbrella of the fashion trend.
