Dressing for a Black Tie Event
We've all had that special invitation drop through our door: you get invited to a wedding, an even launch or perhaps something like a company holiday party. It's time to dust off your penguin suit and make yourself look the part.Not everyone will have the money for a slick designer suit so how do you make an impression on a budget?
If you think that you will be attending several black tie events in the coming years it would be well worth investing some money in buying a good tuxedo as money spent on frequent suit rentals can easily exceed the price of a decent suit. However, if you are picky about which black tie events are worthy of your attendance then perhaps renting a suit is the way forward.
If you are looking for a basic and elegant black-tie look then your choice of tuxedo should have just that - a black tie - as well as a black cummerbund. Coloured accessories can always be rented if the need should arise. Make sure that you don’t forget do accessorize and remember that choosing from the available range of mens designer watches can really complete an outfit.
Much as thought you may trust your sense of style and judgement, you should always get properly measured and fitted for your suit. Inseam and waist measurements are vital for a comfortable and stylish trouser, while a well measured and fitted shoulder, back and arm will ensure that you have a sharp looking jacket.
You may wish to personalize your look by selecting a suitable jacket and shirt which will be unique to your own taste and build.Suit jackets will vary in cut from cropped to smoking and shirtfront options can include fine pleats or delicate ribs, or various styles of buttons.
Lastly, make sure that you remember the correct sequence for getting dressed.The order is as follows: underwear, socks, shirt, trousers, cummerbund, jacket and tie and finally your shoes.And that's it - you're ready and dressed to impress!
