Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: What Hamlet is specifically wearing is up to the producer of whoever is doing Hamlet, but sensibly, Hamlet is always shown wearing black the first time we see him because he is still mourning the death of his father and because this is explicitly stated in the text.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why does Hamlet wear black? He’s mourning the death of his father, but he is also mourning the death and decadence of Denmark.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet mentions his “inky cloak” and “customary suits of solemn black” while talking with his mother (1.2. 76–78). 1 Additionally, if we trust Ophelia (and there is no reason at this point not to), his black apparel included a doublet, hat, and stockings with garters (2.1. 75–78).
