Ideal suit for Black Men

Suits for Black Men
Getting dress suits for black men isn’t as difficult as it sounds. As with men of any skin tone, just look for a mens suit style in a color shade that complements your personality. If you are a traditional type of person, you can go for color shades that have stood the test of time in classic cuts. On the other hand, if you are interested in trying out something different, then decide on wider range of colors in a variety of styles. In fact, there are dress suits that look much better on black men than on anyone else.

Colors:
Men with dark skin tones can wear almost anything and look great. It’s likely for Black men to try different suit colors, whereas no one else can. Furthermore, they can wear all the neutrals which everyone else can wear. Colors to try out would include:  Black suits, Navy blue, Olive green, Tan, Beige, Light gray, Charcoal.

It’s possible to have more than one in a color, especially if one has pinstripes and one does not. You could mix and match those pinstripe patterns with a shirt in a matching or complementary.

Patterns:
Solids: They are the most traditional "pattern”. Suit color for black men can be anything from rust to black, light tan to charcoal gray. These practical, go-to suits are suitable for several occasions from business to dinner.
Pinstripes:  These patterns are found on everything from business suits to the more cool zoot suits. The most common color shades for mens suits that feature pinstripe pattern are black, charcoal and brown.

Styles:
Dress suits that look great on black men come in all styles. Some popular ones include:
  •  2-piece suit
  •  3-piece suit (basically a 2-piece suit with a matching vest)
  •  Zoot suit (Generally, this suit has a longer jacket and is available in a wider range of colors, plus a matching hat)
Accessories:
Dark skin tones can have it all. Your shirt and tie can be very dark or very light; as no color will look too intense for your skin tone. Black men can even try out colors that other guys have a hard time wearing. If you have a very dark skin tone, you might wish to stay away from shirt in very light pastel colors as it would be severe contrast. But that's the just the limitation and definitely not a rule!

Where to Shop?
It always better to try out once before you buy because different cuts fit differently. On the other hand, if you have found a suit you like in a store and you wish to shop around for the best deal, online shopping is the way to go. There are many online stores offering a wide selection of dress suits for black men.
