While there are some who opt for a plain black satin neck tie , I interpret black-tie as being a strictly bow tie affair. This ensures you look formal and also breaks the outfit up from more day-to-day suiting. If you have the skills, choose a self-tie bow tie in a stiff satin. While black is always a go-to, this is also a chance to play with something more flamboyant. Look at jacquard fabrics and bold monochrome prints like paisley and spots to add flare while still looking polished.
If you struggle with knotting your own, there are some perfectly acceptable pre-tied styles on the market that can be neatly hidden under a classic collar. My first choice is always Tom Ford who does a sumptuously knotted bow-tie in both black and ivory. Cummerbunds or sashes, whilst popular in the late 20th century, have fallen from grace alongside the rise of more finished waist bands that include much of the detailing that a cummerbund previously showed. My advice is to look for trousers that have a tabs, a higher rise and a satin waist band.
This looks polished and feels infinitely more comfortable than a cummerbund. Can you wear a white jacket as part of a tuxedo? Peak lapels are a little step up, for a slightly more formal look. They are elegant and elongating. Shawl lapels are more rounded and nostalgic, but still a polished choice. Your tuxedo pant will also be different. A satin stripe will be down the sides of your tuxedo pants.
Tux pants do not have belt loops and you, therefore, should not, under any circumstance, wear a belt with a tuxedo.
Occasionally, these pants will come with an adjustable waist, but if you need extra support, grab a pair of suspenders. Your tux pants may also include a rubbery strip in the wait to ensure that your shirt does not slip from its crisp tuck. Your tuxedo shirt will often have pleats down the front, marking it above a standard dress shirt. It may also have a wingtip collar for wearing bowties and places for cufflinks and shirt studs. Shop Tuxedos. As we said, tuxes are more complicated than your average suit, being twice as formal, after all.
Shop Tux Accessories. The sleeves of your shirt should land at your wrist where your hand starts to widen, with your jacket sleeves leaving about a half inch of your shirt cuff showing. This leaves room for showing off your cufflinks without swimming or shrinking in your jacket. Your tuxedo pants should sit at your natural waist, right below your belly button.
Your pant legs should not pool around your ankles. This is called the break and it should only be about half an inch and land at the back of your shoe. Suits are plenty great, in their own rite. Want more inspiration? View our gallery. Still not convinced?
