Alteration of plans?

Meanwhile, I'm contemplating going a leftfield route. Thinking of a black cardigan and black tie combo instead of a grey suit.


Missing ingredients; a black cardigan, black tie (maybe skinny), and nice black shoes. More items, but more versatile than a suit for casual wear.

So I went shopping again today. Saw one example in Topman, but it was selling at S$70. Went by Muji and another example selling for the same price, but it was a mesh material (not solid enough). Finally found a good example at Centrepoint (the new Basic House brand), but it was in a Navy blue colour.

Alarm bells are ringing...

p.s. couldn't find a black cardigan at the following stores
Bossini
Fox
G2000
Giordano
Uniqlo
