Black at Dries Van Noten is two things. It is the plain base the prints sit on, the wool trousers, the moiré blazer, the cotton tee, the loafers and the leather bags; and it is a ground for embroidery, the ankle-length wool coat with bullion bands, the pencil skirt with embroidered ribbons, the wedge pumps with 3-D flowers. Coveti carries 50 black styles, $520 to $7,370, and this page ranks them by price with the cloth for each, so a black Dries Van Noten wardrobe can be built from one page.

The base

The Tailored wool pants in Black in virgin wool gabardine and the Double breasted moiré blazer in Black in viscose moiré are the black tailoring. The black merino sweater, the overdyed cargo skirts and the Regular fit cotton tee in Mud family are the day pieces. The Leather loafers in Tan in black, the biker boots, the heeled Chelsea boots and the black leather bags with resin handles finish it.

Black with something on it

The Embroidered ankle-length wool coat in Black is the black piece to buy if only one: ankle-length lightweight wool with embroidered bands. The embroidered wool blazers, the embroidered pencil skirt and the Velvet wedge pumps in Brique family carry the same idea at smaller scale. The printed silk dress with a high neckline and the hooded floral peacoat put the house’s prints on a black ground.

How the house wears black

As the quiet half of an outfit. Black trousers under a jacquard coat; a black blazer over a printed skirt; a black dress under an embroidered coat. The print guide explains why one plain piece is always in the picture.
