Paint It black
Powerful yes, and subtle too. Especially when a black suit/jacket is combined with a white shirt in a classic ensemble that never fails to make people sit up and take notice. We went through four distinct styles of black and white to get you these unbeatable looks.
It’s the season to go cord, and what better way to do so than with a thin wale black jacket, cut for brevity and a minimum of fuss? Pair it with a plain white shirt and beige trousers. And if you want to go without a tie but want some kind of a neck-piece, why not go for a scarf?

The Suit
With every passing season, suits are becoming better tailored, coming in various different styles and looking better. This finely cut twobutton suit comes alive with the check white shirt. The checks break whatever monotony there could have been, and the pocket-square adds a rakish dash of colour

Leave navy blazers for the summer (apparently, some very nice ones in linen are in the offing), and go for a smart slim-fitted black one this season. Pair one with a tie as eye-catching as this red one and you have a winner on your hands.
