Video Content:
00:00 Introduction
00:53 Jacket
The classic choice for fabric is a black wool barathea which is a little more matte and alternatively, you can opt for something navy or a very dark blue, maybe with a herringbone weave, some people even go with fine twill weave or a plain weave.
02:19 Vents
The most traditional jacket has no vents which is unusual today because most jackets have either side vents or center vents.
02:39 Pocket Style
The most original pocket style is jetted pockets. You have one on the right, one on the left, no ticket pocket.
02:50 Buttons
You want black matching buttons that are either covered in the same fabric as your tuxedo or silk, or you go with a contrasting button.
03:10 Lapels
Should be faced with silk.
03:47 What to avoid
– You do not want a flannel material
– Avoid notched lapels
– Avoid any two-button or three-button single-breasted jackets
– Avoid side vents and center vents
04:20 Trousers
You want a matching material to the jacket in the same color. A special hallmark of the black-tie trouser is a strip of fabric on the side which is also called a galon.
06:23 Vest
When it comes to an evening vest, they’re very different from your day vest. They have a much deeper cut out so you see more of your shirt front and the studs on your shirt front.
05:31 Cummerbund
When you wear your cummerbund, make sure that the pleats face upwards not downwards.
07:09 Tuxedo Shirt
It’s made of a white fabric usually poplin or twill and it always has an insert. It can either be in Marcella or a pique cotton insert, it can be a pleated front or sometimes just a finely woven pattern.
08:39 Black Bow Tie
Never wear a black neck tie, that would be incorrect. The only acceptable color is black and you can go with different shapes and textures.
09:21 Shoes
The only two options were a capless Oxford shoe that was laced or opera pumps also known as court shoes with a deep cut out and a bow in front.
10:59 Black Tie Accessories
You want to have black silk socks that are over the calf.
11:35 Cuff links
Usually black such as onyx or abalone, sometimes, they would come as a matching set with your shirt style. Personally, I also like to wear white mother of pearl studs because it just provides a different look .
12:14 Boutonniere
Most classic choice are carnations. White or red will work as well but you can also go with pink or white.
13:41 Hat
The perfect hat would be a homburg hat because it has the right degree of formality.
13:56 White evening gloves
It definitely provides a very dapper look, screams elegance.
