    One missing event, New Years Eve! While it’s not exactly required to be formal, formality is definitely supported as it’s a celebration of history, and a celebration of the new year.
    Requires a bit of courage, but worth it. As a 16 year old with 3 tailcoats, I can assure you, people get used to it.

      If you find yourself getting invited to (or indeed, hosting) black-tie or white-tie events: yes, by all means! The age guidelines we mentioned in the video were just that--guidelines. For those who appreciate classic menswear, do their research, and strive to pull off formal ensembles with attention to detail, age is a secondary concern. :) Thanks for watching and commenting!

    I live in Italy, and black tie is usually seen only for weddings or high-class evening events, while white tie is all but forgotten, only used if you're going to be received in an audience by the Pope - which requires a white tie ensemble with a BLACK waistcoat, BTW.

      No. When it was my prom a couple years ago, I wore a semi-formal suit, but I saw some guys wearing full on black tie tuxedoes.
      My tip is, do what you like. If wearing a black tie tux makes you feel good, by all means wear one. When you get older, around early to mid 20’s, you will need some business suits / black tie tuxedoes. Although, it’s more likely you will use business suits

    It seems the Tuxedo had historical correlations to the bourgeois class of the Industrial Revolution. However as the bourgeois fragmented into what might be dubbed the brand as attributed to corporate structure then regalia seems to be added to the classic Tuxedo so as to distinguish the group from within the broader class structure which has all but vanished into forms of identity politics as trends within political economies of scale.

    @bill99208 4 месяца назад

    I find myself preferring the tuxedo to a normal suit. I’m in my late 60’s and have worn tuxes pretty much my whole adult life. For me, it’s easier to put the tux on, insert the studs and links (always wear double cuffs!), tie up the bow, button on the braces and put the cummerbund on. Included are the shoes and I can put the whole garment on in just under 20 minutes and then will detail it. Most of the ladies in my ward appreciate that I dress up and love my bow ties (yes I wear more than just black) and the other men don’t say much, but secretly admire me for being willing to dress up formal for church. I often get asked where I get my stuff and that’s indeed high praise. I harbor a desire that we men go back to dressing up like they did in the early 20th century even though most of us don’t have dirty jobs to really make the changing of clothes seem like a big deal. I just think that we need to do it so that we don’t have to look sloppy. I consider short sleeves an abomination. But if we do abandon the casual look and start dressing formally we will be doing ourselves a big favor because we will start taking many things more seriously than we do now. And that’s how we will actually achieve the greatness that should be ours. Elections help but it is also up to us to bring about a different attitude towards our daily lives that will really make the difference. And dressing formally is just one part of that attitude change.

    Are the trousers bought from a 400 lb man? I know slim fit pants are not the classic, but the 25 inch leg size is still TOOO LARGE.

    Sometimes I just don't think GG knows what they're talking about. Especially when the tux being modeled is peppered with lint. A simple brush through with a lint brush would have solved that problem. When wearing black tie, the details are important.

    In a Finnish sauna it is very clear that all men are created equal. (Or not ;-)) It used to be like that with the tuxedo. No medals, orders, chains or ribbons as on tails. Plain and simple. But I've seen a photo of the Crown Prince of Denmark in a tuxedo with medals and orders. He is as much a gentleman as anyone can be so I guess he can change the rules to his liking. But I don't think the rest of you should follow.
    Oh! And if you ever end up at the Nobel banquet be sure to wear white tie. And if you are a doctor from any faculty be sure to have your collar embroidered properly.

    I respectfully suggest that you replace the bow and have the bow and the edge of the sole edges be re died and properly re sculpted and buffed. I can understand that Allen Edmonds owners would rather refurbish the shoes that they already own. I've done that with my own Allen Edmonds. I've also had the inner parts of the shoes fitted with more comfortable parts on the interior of the shoe. I'm a big fan Church's and Kilgour French Stanbury. They fit like a pillow on the first wearing.

      I'm of the opinion that wristwatches should NOT be worn. A pocket watch of the same color/ material may be worn in the "Pocket" of formal vests.

    If a gentleman gets invited to an American wedding before noon and the invitation says ‘black tie’, ought he to comply? Is quietly wearing a morning suit or stroller (without being loud about it or ‘correcting’ anyone else) likely to be seen as a snub?
