Timeless And Classic
Although we’re very much aware that technicolour and pastels are set to be huge trends come summer, that doesn’t mean we all want to step out in dusty pink or sunshine yellow.
Some of us like to keep things timeless and simple, sticking to the darker end of the colour spectrum. And if the French have taught us anything about style over the years, it’s that black clothes look effortlessly cool and sophisticated, no matter whether you’re dressing up or down.
The only problem is, heading out to dinner on a warm summer’s day in a black suit isn’t the most practical choice (and sweat patches aren’t too attractive either). Nor is pulling on a pair of black skinnies for an outdoor music festival in May.
With this in mind, we’re set to showcase five black pieces that will seamlessly transition into spring, while offering advice on how to style each in a modern way.
The Biker Jacket
Nothing says ‘I’m cool’ better than a classic black leather biker jacket. It’s an iconic piece that all men can pull off, and it brings an edge to your personal style that may otherwise be lacking.
While we have seen menswear’s tastemakers teaming their leathers with suiting separates this season, we believe a biker jacket looks best dressed-down.
To do this, team it with a fresh white T-shirt, dark tapered jeans and your favourite smart trainers. James Dean might be turning in his grave at the thought of a biker being worn with sneakers, but that’s how it’s done these days.
