| Men are returning to the notion of being properly attired for the event at hand which means no more cutting corners on your evening wear. You don't need all the bells and whistles, but you do need a tux and a handful of the right accessories | ||
| THE SHIRT | THE TUX | |
| White cotton with vertical razor pleats, pressed until it's immaculate. French cuffs are essential. A turndown collar is more comfortable; a wing collar is more dressy. | We recommend the peaked lapels. Black wool is classic but midnight blue is very cool. | |
| THE BOW TIE | THE CUMMERBUND | |
| Silk satin or silk grosgrain, black. Adjustable versions make tying easier, but you should tie it yourself. | The cummerbund is still essential. Without it, you look as if you're not trying. | |
| THE POCKET SQUARE | ||
| In cotton or linen, not silk, which will slip. | ||
