Black Tuxedo Waistcoat

The Black Tuxedo Waistcoat is an essential to any black tie event. Traditionally, for Black Tie attire, the waist must be covered by either a waistcoat or a cummerbund. A waistcoat generally presents a slightly more formal, layered, and structured appearance than a cummerbund. Traditional tuxedo waistcoats are cut much lower than a suit vest, often featuring a deep U- or V-shape. This is specifically designed to maximize the visibility of the formal shirt front and the bow tie, turning an already beautiful two-piece tuxedo into an even more magnificent three-piece tuxedo.

The dinner suit is an ensemble designed for formal occasions and characterised by its distinctive features. It consists of a black or dark blue jacket with narrow lapels, a white dinner shirt with a concealed button placket, a black bowtie, trousers with satin stripes along the legs and patent leather shoes. The look is often complemented by accessories such as cufflinks, a stylish pocket square and a matching waistcoat.
