Every hour, every day, every month of the year, at least a million times, we're think of 'what to wear'. And every time, while racking our brains, a bulb lights up and says—BLACK. Hence, it's safe to say: the colour black is royalty/convenience/excellence in fashion. There's nothing that doesn't stoke a man when it comes to the colour black. But well, it's time to dig deeper. Yesterday at Ashish N Soni's SS'18 showcase that banished theories categorising evening wear as a booty call for classics, the colour exuded unshakable superiority in a man's closet, even in unusual settings of ethnic pieces with loose, hung threads or ribbon-like fasteners on suit jackets. If one way or the other, black is your undisputed choice in life, here are 10 outfits that prove why you're doing it absolutely right!

2. In take two, an ethnic kurta topped with a dual-fabric suit jacket. Also featuring: a gift ribbon fastening that's only reserved for absolute luxe vibes.

3. A marriage of three impeccably-tailored pieces on the top half, proving Ashish's metal in juggling with proportions and lengths (all at once).

5. This combo of a long solid-coloured kurta with a suit jacket and knee length bottoms that's exactly what short men should be embracing today. Result? Extended length.

6. A leather infused version of a one-pieced semi-formal uniform, with diagonally-placed pockets and patented leather slip ons.

7. This outfit is living proof that too many layering pieces can never spoil the broth. Just keep the blazer unbuttoned for ease!

8. This lounge wear spin to formal wear for men that's fortunately very formal, anyway. Keep the top half structured and the bottom half relaxed. And as a thumb rule, bro, you gotta do formal footwear too.

9. Soni's glorification of a modern-age festive dresser, with an exemplary Bandhgala and primary waterfall inner. A combo, that's sure to own your upcoming Diwali party.
