Da Milano CEO thinks one can never go wrong with a classic, black suit

For Sahil Malik, CEO, Da Milano, it’s the little touches that elevate a look:

Style code
My preferred suit style is business casual as it’s the perfect attire for office and day wear. I love to wear shades of blue.

Signature elements

I have a lucky pocket square that I have been using for ten years for important occasions. I have a feeling that whenever I wear it, things go in my favour. I also have a customised pair of cufflinks that my wife gifted me for our first anniversary. They have the letter ‘S’ and I love them. I use them for special occasions.

Starting young
I wore my first suit to my graduation ceremony in college. But the first time I looked good in a suit was with a made-to-order black one that I wore for my first business meeting. I sourced the fabric myself from the market and got it stitched by my tailor. Wearing that suit gave me confidence.

A suit fauxpas I’d never make is…
Borrowing a suit. For me, the fit is most important. I get most of my suits from Suit Supply London. They are great value for money and have a great fit.

Brand speak
Emporio Armani suits are perfect for any occasion; be it a business meeting, a big conference or cocktails. Their suits are comfortable, yet stylish. When I want to stand out, I pick a Paul Smith suit. They are edgy, with vibrant colour options.

Dream suit
I have always admired Tom Ford suits, but found them expensive. Only recently I got my hands on one. The fabric, style and fit are perfect. It is any man’s dream suit.

Winning suit game
George Clooney.

You can never go wrong with…
A classic black suit.
