for the most formal of events, style rules are there to be broken

CHECK IT OUT

Cut from a striking tartan with a black
satin lapel, this fresh twist on the
tuxedo is sure to make you stand out

TRUE BLUE

Royal blue is great for
injecting some colour
into darker winter
days. Finish with a
dapper bow tie and
pocket square

WHITE TIE

Matching your bow tie to a crisp white shirt slims the neck and makes a sartorial statement

CASUAL FLAIR

Finding the right look for a more dressed-down affair
can be trickier than pulling off full-on formal attire.
Keep your shirt tucked in and done right up, even if
worn with jeans, and add some simple but stylish
accessories to top off your look
