The Classic

You can never go wrong with the quintessential black tuxedo. Simple and clean, this style is characterised by satin lapels on a single-breasted jacket. The crucial defining detail is the silk bow tie – there’s no faster way to a suave, polished finish.

The Modern Cool

If you’re the kind of guy that likes to mix things up, then this one’s for you. Swap out your suit pants for a pair of dark denim and finish with slick sneakers for a softer approach to black-tie dressing. Just remember not to stray too far from the tried-and-tested formula and stick to a monochromatic palette.

The Maverick

Go above and beyond and try something new – after all, party season is about having fun. This style is all about proportions; try cropped pants, a shorter jacket and a crisp T-shirt to tie it all together. Think outside the box and top it off with a pair of boots – and remember, black tie doesn’t always have to be so serious.
