Men
Considered. Confident. Elevated.
Black tie is about showing up with intention.
Sharp lines, refined details, and a look that feels made for celebration - not the everyday. It’s confidence without shouting, elegance without effortfulness. When the tailoring is right, the whole evening rises with it.
Out-dress the everyday
THE COLOURS
-
![]()
Black
The classic. Sharp and infinite. Black turns every silhouette into a statement; modern, magnetic, and undeniably formal.
It refuses to apologise or disappear.
-
![]()
Espresso
The warmest neutral; deep, earthy, quietly powerful. Brown so dark it feels like night itself. A refined choice for the guest who understands restraint.
-
![]()
Burgundy
Red made sophisticated. Brooding, luxurious, bold without ever shouting. Burgundy brings warmth and depth; the colour of velvet booths and expensive wine.
-
![]()
Midnight Navy
The deepest blue, almost flirting with black. Elegant in daylight, electric under evening lights. A quiet secret: in photographs, midnight can look even richer than black.
-
![]()
Plum
Moody purple. A little mysterious. A little decadent. Plum catches the light like something rare; glamour with a knowing smile.

Forest Green
Dark, polished, confident. Green that feels like dusk in an evergreen grove. Under candlelight, it becomes almost black; with the gentlest hint of intrigue.
The Look
The kind of tailoring that makes you stand taller
Foundation
A tuxedo / dinner jacket is required.
Black or midnight navy.
A suit, even a dark one, does not meet the level of formality.
Shirt & Tie
A white formal shirt with a black bow tie - always.
The clean contrast is what makes black tie unmistakable.
Fabric & Finish
Satin or grosgrain lapels, refined construction, tailored trousers without a visible belt buckle.
Nothing casual.
Nothing improvised.
Shoes
Black polished/patent dress shoes
Brown shoes are not part of this story
Mood
Sleek. Intentional. Elevated.
A look that feels dressed up for celebration made for photographs, champagne toasts, and the shift into night.
What breaks the spell?
Business suits (even “the nice one”)
Neckties
Brown or casual footwear
Loud colours or experimental styling
This is elegance with clarity - confidence that comes from getting the details right.
