Black Stripe Man
The black suit can be worn almost anywhere. It could be worn to funerals, weddings, and for all formal occasions. But there are certain things that have to be considered while wearing Black. If you are fond of Black then having some basic idea about the way different materials retain black dye as well as which fabrics and textures appear fine together, would be really useful.
Why Wool is better than Cotton?
Compared to cottons, wools generally have a darker shade of black as they hold dye better. Moreover, wool doesn't lose color like cotton does, over time. Therefore, while buying black trousers, sweaters and suits, sticking to wool would be a better option.
Matching Your Blacks:
Regardless of the fabric, shades of black vary, so care has to be taken when putting an all black outfit together. For instance, when coupling a black shirt with black trousers, the black shirt might have a purple cast while your black trousers have a brown cast. These differences are subtle, but important.
Blend Textures and Fabrics:
There is a right and wrong way to be dressed in black clothes. As with any ensemble, it's essential to blend different textures and fabrics. For instance, a heavily textured sweater with a smooth pant looks striking as does a plain merino wool sweater with a tonal stripe pant. Dressing in this way will show that you have put some effort into your outfit and moreover your dress would appear less like a uniform.
Cotton: Caution
Cottons fade rather quickly hence buying black cotton shirts that have a touch of Lycra in them would be a better option as the synthetic fiber helps cotton retain the dye better. Another alternative would be buying mercerized cotton shirts as the blacks are deeper and richer than other cottons.
Caring for Your Black Garments
Dry clean your clothes in case they are black or any dark color, as dry cleaning will retain the color from fading soon. Making use of a cup of vinegar while washing new black or dark color cotton fabric at home would help in setting the dye. It's advisable to use cold water with your dark items.
Know When to Say Goodbye:
Retire clothes when they begin to fade as faded blacks would make you look tattered.
