Suit To Thrill

A classic tuxedo speaks volumes about the wearer, specifically that hes chic and urbane, cleans up nicely, and knows the difference between trends and style. Go classic with a shawl collar, one-button tux with spread collar and unpleated tuxedo shirt, or try a pumped-up look with one of these options. Modern: Perfect for any red carpet, this modern option features a pocket square, French cuffs with onyx cuff links, a pinpoint collar and a slim solid black neck tie in silk. Funky: Featuring black-on-black with a hand-tied white silk bow tie, this less formal option isnt appropriate for a Black Tie invitation, but will do nicely at a gallery opening or Grammy party. Old-School: This hip approach is great for any event where you might be tempted to loosen your tie and dance. Youll still look divine, even if you get a little rumpled. Try a pleated white tux shirt and hand-tied silk bow tie with a notch-collared jacketwith just a flash of color in the royal purple lining.
