Head-to-toe black is a classic, cool, and flattering look for any man. The key in both of today’s featured looks is adding texture.

Outfit 1: Patent leather, laced boots, pant crumpling, a lengthy flowing top, and the pillar piece–a large woven scarf–add texture to bulk up this fit. The heavy boot also offsets the feminine shirt keeping the outfit edgy and masculine.

Outfit 2: This photo features a more fitted, edgy, and cool look, which I personally love. Small white polkadots on the button-down shirt and a great cut on the jacket (+zipper) add just enough subtle texture to this outfit. Let’s not overlook the great glasses and hairstyling which bring this all together for a supercool fit.
