Is it possible to wear a black suit jacket casually?
Is a black suit jacket too formal to wear with a dress shirt and jeans?
Im only asking because you can only really wear a black suit to weddings, funerals etc
Thanks

I wouldn't orphan a black suit blazer
but it depends on the fabric I guess
I think you can. Its hard to pull off, but I am against the whole idea of not being able to wear 'orphaned' jackets
orphaned black jacket is playing on hard mode imo; i don't think you can just throw it over your regular shirt and jeans
charcoal or pinstripe black might be an 'easier' version
Okay, thanks for the advice

Black orphaned suit jackets are difficult, but they can look good juxtaposed with casual pieces. My favorites are a black/navy silk shirt, beat up jeans (darker is less contrast and thus stands out less), and Gucci bit loafers. Or use these for inspiration (see alt text):

but yeah like they said it's hard mode to do it right
Black corduroy is prolly easiest, but then its a very different suit from the getgo
I tbh think black is an easier color for this than like a trad navy/grey
what ppl said before is good though try some looks have fun w it
