THE PALETTE

Four accents, one suit

Three black satin ties with matching pocket squares on black marble with white ranunculus and gardenias

White, black, silver, burgundy. A black suit does not need a palette — it needs one decision at the neck, and these four never miss.

NOTES FROM THE HOUSE

Why black first

If a man owns one suit, it should be black. It is the suit that goes to the wedding, the interview, the funeral, the dinner, and the awards night without anyone noticing it is the same suit. That is the whole argument for owning instead of renting: the black suit is not for an event — it is for the years of events after it.

THE RULES

Three rules for black

Rule 01
Fit is the whole outfit. Black hides nothing at the shoulder, so get sized before you get dressed.
Rule 02
White shirt by day, black shirt after dark. Save the colour for the tie.
Rule 03
Black shoes, black belt, black socks. The only shine in the outfit is the shoe.
