Is there a right way to do this?

I kinda dig Bradley Cooper's look in The Hangover part 1, however it is probably not "SF aproved" so I would like to know, is there a right way to go all black?

I wear all black. If you don't like it, you can fuck yourself in your own asshole with your multicolored neo-prep madras J Crew bullshit.

There's definitely a right way and a wrong way to do this.

Step 1: Put on the clothing you're planning to wear that day.

Step 2: Look down.

- If you look down and confirm that you're wearing all black, congratulations! You've done it the right way!

- If you look down and see that you're wearing something that's not black (e.g., a hot pink cockbit or a pair of lemon-yellow Nikes), you've done it the wrong way, and you need to go back to step 1.

Wear a lot of varied textures and shades of black. If you wear a lot of leather, you can contrast a glossier piece with a more distressed or matte one. Don't make it too clubby because it'll look loathsome during the daytime. Have cool hair (no gel, no faux hawk, no standing straight up, no JFK type stuff) and swagger.

Black wool suit, single or double breasted, with a black cotton dress shirt with all-black cufflinks, with all-black tie clip, with an all black silk tie.

Make sure you are wearing "gum shoes" aka rubber-soled leather dress shoes so they are silent when you walk.

Combine the look with either an inconspicuous all-black briefcase.

Also look into black-framed mirrored aviators, or wrap-around mirrored sunglasses if you don't want people to see the sides of your eye. Make sure it is a one-way mirror from the outside lens.

Wear all black tactical shooting gloves if you want to keep germs off of your hands.

If you really want to stand out, instead of wearing the mirrored sunglasses mentioned above, wear mirrored welder goggles. Like these:



Also get an all-black watch or pen that can record audio and video.

Do not forget the all-black tactical pen.



And a night guard:

Johnny Cash was probably the only one who pulled this off. Otherwise, try to avoid or at least mix it up with dark indigo denim.
