- Five tips on formalwear dressing for Men. Uplifting economic news is triggering a return to more formal events. Is your wardrobe ready to attend these events ?. - As we return to happier economic times.........or appear to be pointed in that direction.............the Gala Formal events are sure to follow. If you are sailing on Luxury Cruise ships with several Formal nights, you will want a little variety.
1. Tuxedo Your own. Not a rental. Rentals look like rentals. You need to invest in a high-quality single or double breasted black tuxedo and make sure it fits you perfectly. If you attend a number of these nice events.......the tux pays for itself over time. It also looks and fits better.......it is there ready to go for you at any time. If you have a really busy social schedule........you may consider owning a couple of tuxedos.....one single breasted and one double breasted. An extra pair of Tuxedo pants is also a very good idea....possibly in the next waist size up.
2. Tuxedo Shirt Again..........a high quality shirt which fits you properly. There are many great styles to choose from with wing and point collar.....different numbers of pleats. White ! You may need a couple in your closet.....not just one. This gives you variety and makes life easier. Be sure its back from the laundry........nicely pressed and fresh looking.
3. Tuxedo Shoes Also Black and of good quality.
4. Dinner Jacket ! Oh...........for the truly well dressed. You are sure to grab everyone's attention with a wonderful cream, shawl collared dinner jacket from a wonderful manufacturer (this should only be worn in the summer or in tropical climates). High on my list........but impossible to find ..........a Blackwatch plaid dinner jacket. If you find one.....buy it !
5. Formalwear accessories. Here is where things get interesting.
Tuxedo Stud Sets. Invest (or ask for them for gifts !) in some Black Onyx, white "Mother of Pearl", Gold Knots or some wonderful engraved ones with your initials. Sterling Silver is particularly nice ! If you get on the Black Tie bandwagon, you may wish to have several pair to choose from. You will have these for a lifetime !
6.Bow Tie and Cumberbund sets. Black, certainly should be in your wardrobe.
There are also some high-quality Necktie manufacturer's who also make these sets from paisley, rep stripes, different colored solids, foulard patterns. Here is the opportunity to have some flair and creativity ! Burberry Plaid or even some whimsical designs for fun.
As we return to prosperity, our wardrobe needs to follow suit. Formalwear needs investment on your part but will give you great milage over time. Now is the time to plan ahead and not wait until the last minute.
What kind of shape is your Formalwear in ?
