Nastri d'Argento 2016 - Why black suits again?

The Nastro d'Argento (Silver Ribbon) is an Italian film award awarded each year since 1946 by the Sindacato Nazionale Giornalisti Cinematografici Italiani (Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists). The Nastro d'Argento is said to be the oldest movie award in Europe.

This year the awards ceremony was held at the Teatro Antico, Taormina, Sicily Island, Italy, on July 2, 2016. And what a surprise - all gentlemen were dressed in similar black suits, making them look one and the same.

Although the black suit is not in fashion, many men continue choosing it for their social and business appearances. But it doesn't show style, personality or fashion taste. The black tie dress code is still mandatory for many Red carpet events, but we believe that it's time for change!

Just take a look at the Academy of Country Music Awards Gala or Oscars 2016 or Cannes Film Festival 2016 Red carpets. Don't you think that this variety of the colorful men's suits is a better choice for Academy Awards, Music Awards and other formal events?
