Best color combinations for men's formal wear

Black and White-

Let's be an old-school lad and start with the classic black and white combo first. This perfect color contrast combination works the best if you want to keep it a bit traditional.

Well, this combo might work in every situation, but is pretty much the stand and is being a little boring now.

Navy Blue and White-
