Product Information

The cummerbund was invented to cover up your waistband (and the awkward shirt bunching that tends to happen in that area). Cummerbunds are rapidly approaching “old-fashioned” status, and we won’t go out of our way to recommend you wear one. But if you must wear one, do it only with a tuxedo, and match the material of your cummerbund with the material of your lapels (sorry, hot pink cummerbunds). Pro-tip: If you’re going for a modern look, show a little ankle. Your tux pants should be hemmed for “no break”—that’s tailor-speak for just above the shoe. The tuxedo shirt: It’s the blank canvas that lets your tie shine. A carefully chosen tux shirt says a lot about your style, and should match the vibe of the event. It’s really the unsung hero of any formal look. Imagine your tux shirt is Scottie Pippen and your expertly-tied bow tie is Michael Jordan. Sure, MJ is arguably the GOAT (greatest of all time), but while everybody’s looking at His Airness they miss Pippen killing it on defense and recording 21 career triple doubles according to Wikipedia! Twenty-one! For many reasons, wool is the most popular fabric for suits and tuxedos. It drapes beautifully and has a sleek finish that makes for a polished look. It’s also known to be insulating, breathable, and durable—basically making it the do-it-all renaissance man of the suiting world. It’s hard to go wrong with wool.

This style looks similar to the French front, except the top four buttons are removable for tuxedo studs. Please, let this style live up to its name, and only wear it with tuxes—it should never make an appearance at the office. Shirt Cuffs If you want a more modern, effortless look, consider ditching the vest or cummerbund altogether. Going vestless is an increasingly popular, contemporary choice, and acceptable with either a tuxedo or a suit. Choosing a bow tie based on its fabric can add texture to your look in unexpected ways and firmly place your outfit in the right season and formality level.Owning a tuxedo sounds like a crowning achievement—riding a prize stallion with no saddle or filling a personal library exclusively with leather-bound first editions. But renting a tuxedo has its benefits, too, provided the tuxedo fits.

So how does your new-found “button smarts” help you get dressed? Now that you know the design intent behind button counts, forget it. Really. A belt should never be worn with a tuxedo. If your tuxedo pants have belt loops on them, then they are not tuxedo pants. If you’re looking for some assistance in holding up your tuxedo pants on the dance floor, then your only option is to wear suspenders—and preferably the traditional button style (also known as braces) over clip-ons. Barrel cuffs don’t require any rolling or cufflinks—instead, they are held closed by buttons. Most of your shirts probably have barrel cuffs. Unlike the typical, casual barrel cuff shirt that buttons shut, our barrel cuff dress shirts have modified buttonholes that can also accommodate cufflinks, bringing them up to tux code. Your passion for choosing the right tux shirt should be just as intense as this author’s appreciation for 7-time NBA All-Star Scottie Pippen. Like every other part of your tuxedo, it’s important to be intentional about the shirt you wear. Tuxedo Shirt Collars One of the traditional guiding principles of a formal dress code is that all the working parts of your ensemble must be covered or dressed. While the rule has become more of a guideline, we still find the rule’s offspring in formalwear: vests and cummerbunds.When you rent a tuxedo, you have options. Purchasing a tux means one lapel shape, one color, one button closure style for a lot of different events. This isn’t to say you should never buy a tuxedo, but too often, renting gets a bad reputation because of cheap, poorly made rental suits. If the tux actually fits, renting can look pretty good.
