The Met Gala's upcoming theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style', focuses on the history of black dandyism, with an all-male chair lineup.

Fabulous options include Saint Laurent's big-shoulder numbers worn with ties, Haider Ackermann's sleek seductive suits for Tom Ford and Thom Browne's impeccable suiting favored by.
