  • If you're planning your wedding to be a black tie affair you might think that wearing a tuxedo is the only way to go. Now, if we're being really technical, that's true, but there are more options for black tie than tuxes, especially when we get into wedding dress codes like black tie optional, creative black tie and even white tie. Although this video is aimed specifically at grooms, there's still lots of inspiration for anyone looking for some formalwear inspiration. Enjoy these nine outfit ideas!

    Hopefully one day I'll need a tux for a formal event, but right now I'll stick to my charcoal suit. Most of the time, even grooms show up like a trainwreck to their own wedding and I end up dressing better than them! It's really funny on one side but on other I wish people wore suits and tuxes more often. Nevertheless, great video as always. :)

    All the outfits in this video are absolutely and equally beautiful, stylish, sartorial, sophisticated, elegant, suave, debonair and rakish, but the white tie is just on another level.

    The white tie ensemble at the end almost felt like a plot twist in a film. Very nice outfits, I love the golden dinner jacket look, probably a bit casual for weddings as the groom in my opinion but if I have a son or daughter I might have to hypnotize him or her into having a black tie wedding and not making the entire wedding party dress in the exact same outfit.

  • @danielkim7841

    May I say Brian you are just the foremost authority on looking suave, cultured, elegant, and chic in all things tux related. In comparison to your encyclopedic knowledge of how to be fashionable and aesthetically pleasing in your dress, Daniel Craig could never pull off the tux in as cool and classic way as you even in the James Bond movies. In fact, you make Daniel Craig in a tux look less like James Bond and more like a third accomplice to Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson when they wear those rented tuxes to crash weddings in Wedding Crashers so they can drink free alcohol and prey on the emotions of vulnerable women! Although there is nothing wrong about that lifestyle they made it look fun and comical!

    Just as an interesting factoid about white tie dress code. The whole debate of the wing tips in front of or behind the bow tie is purely a modern dilemma. Historically, when colors were higher at the time when white tie was frequently being used, the tips were simply above it.

People are not aware of the intricacies that make a great suit, including the groom who, a lot of times shows up in a blue suit with just a bowtie differentiating him from a guest. It would feel awkward going to a wedding wearing a proper black tie outfit and being confused for the groom.
