The president is black, my outfit is too. Sorry, bad Young Jeezy reference. I see you fellows, looking at your colourful closet slowly realizing that there is but one formula that always works in the cooler season and that’s when in doubt, wear black. Trust us, it works at a near 100% success rate. Stop trying to experiment with high-powered dayglos or effeminate shades of the rainbow. Come on over to the dark side. I mean you know what they say right? Once you go black….uhh nevermind.
A. Patrik Ervell: Quilted Leather Sport Cap
Made in the USA. 100% diamond quilted leather. Mesh lined interior. Elasticized rear tab.
If you can’t see the appeal of quilted leather, then you and I are not living on the same wavelength. Ervell is the king of new age sportswear and this black leather sport cap is just another reason why. The elastic leather strap on the rear is such a perfectly calculated touch as well.

B. Our Legacy: Bomber Jacket Metal Black
70% cotton, 25% nylon and 5% metal. Four button closure, two side pockets and two interior. Rounded vents with longer back tail.
If I really wanted to, Our Legacy could probably outfit my entire wardrobe every season, all year long. The range is wide and the options are endless, but in the theme of dark tones this black metal bomber jacket suffices nicely. Great fit is an equally important characteristic alongside construction, and the bomber looks like it’s cut immaculately. Oh and look, the ultimate finishing move – orange paisley flame inner lining.

C. Our Legacy: Midnight Trouser
Made in Portugal. 48% virgin wool, 24% acrylic, 13% polyester, 15% other fibres. Regular fit.
Unlike the other items on this list, I have actually had the opportunity to try these on for size. Great formally intended pant but versatile enough to be used during everyday wear. Exceptionally wearable in the warmer months as it sports a melange wool blend composition.

D.: Common Projects for Robert Geller: Oxford Shoes Black
Made in Italy. 100% calfskin leather. Commando wedge sole.
Is it just me or is it the most difficult thing to find a formidable pair of oxfords this season? That was until I caught these Common Projects/Robert Geller collaboration make-ups on Nomad’s online shop. I like it plain like these for the most part, but with the subtlest of details. Toe cap stitch, check. Signature gold leaf lettering, double check. Black wedge sole, game, set, match!
