I am aware of the consensus of a black suit here, but there are a number of occasions where I can use one.

I've also searched earlier about the Zegna lines and it seems milano is a trimmer fit, but not sure if the ones at NM are of that range.

Thanks!

The second Zegna link is a soft shoulder mode; probably the Milano.

The first one looks like Torino, which has a structured shoulder.

I'd stay away from the Corneliani. It's black and also has some polyester.

Both Zegnas are trim, but the Torino is slightly trimmer (drop 8).

The second Zegna is described as a notch lapel but the photo is a peak. SMH.
