Yeah, here in NZ, my highschool had a 'Formal Prom', and everyone showed up in cheap suits with no tie and casual sneakers. - Absolutely no class at all
As a man relatively new to Black Tie, I found this incredibly helpful. The in depth description of not just what to look for but, more importantly, what to avoid means I can look to upgrade my outfit and get it right. Thanks, GG!
Except for any menswear shop attendant in New Zealand or England. They all know it backwards and traditional.y, this guy is not traditional, closer than most, but he is American so that is like getting an Arab to explain to an Eskimo what snow is.
@4:47 - This also applies to laundering your pants and jacket! Whether it’s a suit or a tuxedo, you should ALWAYS have them dry cleaned together. If you wear your suit coat without the trousers, or vice versa, and only bring in one piece to be cleaned, over time the color will start to fade. Do this enough times and your expensive suit will be reduced to simply a sport coat and a pair of slacks that don’t match.
You can substitute suspenders for a shoulder holster just make sure the tuxedo is tailored to it or it will print. Don't go with anything parkerized or powder coated but rather a high polish blue or a semi-brushed stainless. You want to avoid anything nickel plated which is more suited for white tie. It should also have grips made from a dark wood like Walnut or Cocobolo. Shades like Birch or Maple are just too flashy.
Hello! I'm making my own tuxedo for my wedding, so I want it to be perfect. I've seen lots of your videos and I only have one question, can I wear a boutonniere with a shawl lapel? Should I have it done with a button hole just for that? Thanks a lot for all your help!
Oliver Perry - I’m very curious how your homemade tuxedo turned out? Did you stay with the shawl-collar? What about the buttonhole for the boutonnière (I see you never got a response from Raphael)? And, lastly, on what fabric did you decide & where was it sourced? I’m assuming you have a serger machine? So cool. Much respect for you, Sir!
You always put out the best content! I have a quick question. Will it work to wear stiff collar shirt and white tie vest with dark midnight blue tuxedo? or is black tuxedo better? Thank you again for all your knowledge. I've been following your channel for a long time.
I've seen a picture of the Crown Prince of Denmark in a tuxedo wearing orders and medals. I heard that the tuxedo in part was meant to put all men on an equal footing so to say. Hmmm...
Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic certainly a plethora and wealth of wonderful black tie and tuxedo information thanks Mr. Schneider for such detail and insightful knowledge!
Great video as usual! Regarding regular, french cuffed white shirts to a tuxedo, the British royal family is often seen doing this. Wouldn't you say that they therefore have made that more "casual" look acceptable, like the Duke of Windsor made wearing turn-down collars to a tuxedo a standard? (As long as everything else is traditionally pitch perfect, that is!)
Thanks for putting together some an incredibly comprehensive video - definitely feeling more informed about the subtleties of black tie attire. I'm curious, what sort of pocket square fold would you recommend for a pocket which is half concealed by the lapel?
I have been wearing suits since I was 3 years old. But never worn a tux in my life and was thinking of getting one tailored. This video showed me everything I needed to know. Thanks a lot for this precious information. :-)
You can see them in Vienna. Personally, I prefer Oxfords as they are generally a bit more formal. However, it is possible to find very elegant Derbys as well.
People should not underestimate the importance of a cummerbund if you aren’t using a waistcoat. When standing, your jacket should always be buttoned, and the cummerbund gives you a continuous black silhouette with no little white triangle between the trouser and the jacket button. All you have is the striking V of the shirt front. That is why the cummerbund is so critical, and should not be overlooked, as it so often is.
Both center vent and two vents come from riding (2:25). The center vent is for a long coat (see fox hunting coats) and two vents for a shorter coat (more of a sport coat, called hacking jacket). If you are posting during a trot your jacket will get caught on the back of the saddle unless it has vents. This will irritate your horse and you will be off balance.
In some cases, side vents give off a "police" vibe, as detectives tend to prefer them because it makes accessing a weapon in a concealed hip holster easier.
Amazingly in-depth video. I'll be sure to remember all of this in the future. I have one question for anyone that wouldn't mind answering it. How would I go about an event that could be considered "Creative Black Tie"? I understand it's odd to ask, but I'll be attending a formal dinner with my fiancée soon. While it's hinted as Black Tie, I know the expectations are a bit relaxed to let everyone wear more colors. I want to remain true to the rules of the jacket and pants, but I'm unsure if I should wear a vest and bow tie that coordinate with her dress, or just stay black and let my Boutonniere and Pocket Square match her. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
I can see why they tend to look so crummy at the Academy Awards. Raphael, why do you think these stylists always seem to dress their stars in such gaudy and/or disproportionate looks on the red carpet? I think these stylists like to think it's some kind of style contest to see what will look more untrad than the other.
The stars are just looking for any publicity! Indeed bad publicity is preferable to either no publicity at all or just good in itself! Menswear otherwise is all about fitting in through details such as fit, fabric cut etc and stepping outside of this makes men look clownish very quickly.
I'm inclined to agree with yobolion, in that it's basically to get them in magazines, or people talking. Even if they're on the "Worst Dressed" list. In addition to... well, let's be honest, they probably don't know, otherwise. I mean, the point of Black Tie is so that the guys are basically dressed more or less the same, in which for the women on their arms to stand out more,being that the attention isn't on the guys. Which says a lot that so many Hollywood guys can't even do that for one night.
@9:03 Red Bow tie and Red cummerbund are however a proper attire for wear Red Sea Rig. Which is a separate iteration of evening wear primarily in tropical climates. The American iteration is Gulf rig which is Black tie yet again without jacket.
Almost didn’t notice how good the commentary is. You got talent all around keep it up. Still can’t get over Hamer’s Trivela against United and his goal today calls it to memory. Reminds me of Almiron during his best run of form last season.
I've seen photos of the Duke of Cambridge wearing a soft broadcloth white shirt with mother-of-pearl boutons with his evening wear. I think on your website you mentioned this is acceptable. Could you elaborate more on such shirts with black tie?
Love these videos. Always educational (particularly your video on rings). What are your thoughts on wristwatches and pockets watches for black tie events?
Well, thats nice, you just called a group of people simplistic 7:48 (slip of the tongue of a gentleman i recon, you must have ment who like it (not are) a little bit more simplistic).
Actually the those tuxedo feature holes where the two layers of fabric of the shirts overlap so you can keep them together with the studs, just like how you'd do with your cuffs when you put on cufflinks.
When I was in high school I was determined to find a good black tie guide. I found a guide, and now a video as good as the guide! Are you going to do a video on White Tie? Also, could the homburg be substituted with a black bowler or a black derby?
I've not needed my dinner suit for several years now - indeed, I've grown out of it, and my dress shirt too - still have a cummerbund and black tie, but the occasions to wear them just don't arise any more: Covid clobbered the annual dinner, the coporate dinner, all of the big collective occasions which I always enjoyed.... sad; we need a few occasions in life to break the dull routine... even the dinner party seems to be a thing of the past: or if it isn't no one is inviting me to them!
I'm looking for some advice regarding the proper waistcoat to go with a Tuxedo. I just purchased a vintage Tuxedo made by Anderson & Shepherd with a satin shawl collar. It does not include a waistcoat and I'd like to get one if possible. However, I'm unsure about the etiquette in this regard. If the waistcoat is black, can the fabric contrast with that of the Tuxedo or is that a faux pas? Thanks in advance for your help.
9:00... the red-sea rig IS acceptable in summer months for outdoor events when it's too hot for the coat and waistcoat, but ONLY if stated on the invitation. a similar and oft-interchanged term is the gulf rig. this means black tie and black cummerbund without the jacket. because of the interchange and confusion that can follow, ask for clarification when you respond. 9:25... shoes that tie are for daytime, shoes that do not tie are for evening. 10:20... a host in his home is allowed the smoking jacket and slippers after dinner, but the guests are not. similarly, and i know this is GENTLEMAN'S gazette, a hostess in her home does NOT wear jewelry aside from her wedding set, as to avoid criticism for gilding the lily after showing off her impressive home and dishes and culinary achievements.
Why can’t I find the classic 3 button waistcoat anymore? The other day I was customizing my 3 piece smoking suit on Suitsupply, but when I saw the waistcoat it didn’t look classic; No lapel option and a higher cut. You do have a horseshoe cut shape but that’s still cut too high. Can anyone help me out where I can buy a three piece Smoking suit, with a proper 3 button waistcoat with lapels? (à la Vito Corleone😉)
Perfect guide, love a lot of your videos and articles but this one has to be one of my favourites (although i only wore black tie 3 times in my short life), you got your talking speed up a bit in the first minutes, which is a good thing and all things are not just pointed out clearly but also historically contextualized.
Thanks! We put a lot of work into it :) and we always strive to provide the best content anywhere on the web when it comes to classic & quality men's clothing.
Don’t really agree with the colour of a bowtie and the cummerbund. Unless the invitation specifically states that black tie, one can wear the tux with different colours of the above two things, beyond black.
Women's formal dress: lots of colors, fabrics, variety, etc. Men's formal dress: this specific kind of black suit with specific lapels, waistcoat, etc. or you're a peasant
Very classy for this modern day age especially in New York City USA am going explode wearing thee gentlemen classy dress style in the ripped jeans era in New York City and surrounding areas i love all or this
I will get one tux with double vents. Is it ok if should I go with now vents? I am only 1,73 m tall.. thought the jacket could look awkward on me without vents..
I recently bought a tuxedo. Everything was perfect on it except it had side vents and no stripes on the pants. I decided to purchase it anyway because the price was very reasonable and it fit me really well. I know the side vents probably wouldn't be able to be easily altered but would it be possible to have a tailor add galons to the pants?
Another very comprehensive and informative video! One question on the bow tie itself - would you be able to get away with midnight blue (and I mean genuine midnight blue, rather than navy) or must it always be black? Many thanks
So, black patent leather pumps are okay because they reveal your socks. Black patent leather lace-ups are okay even though don't reveal your socks. However, black patent leather slip-ons, despite their elegant appearance are a no-no because they don't reveal your socks?
This Friday will be the first meeting of the Millard North Gentleman's Society, it's a place where I (a Senior in High school) teach young men how to dress, act, and conduct themselves in a gentlemanly manner.

I'm surprised you didn't mention to avoid those cheap pre-tied bow ties. Of course, those of us who follow you know better, but new viewers may not know.

For a standard suit, yes. But for a tuxedo that's a big no
