How To Wear A Tuxedo | A Man's Guide To Wearing Black Tie | Tuxedos For Men Video

About this video

Centeno explains the rules and components of classical black tie formal wear, breaking down proper jacket, trouser, shirt, and accessory choices. He argues that black tie is straightforward compared to other dress codes because its rules are clearly established, and he contrasts proper formal attire with common mistakes seen in Hollywood and at events like proms.

Key takeaways

• Centeno recommends shawl or peak lapels for tuxedo jackets, solid jet black fabric, and either single or double-breasted cuts, avoiding notch lapels and center vents
• Centeno argues that black tie shirts should be solid white with French cuffs, pleats, and covered buttons (studs), paired with a solid black bow tie and dress watches only in simple styles with leather bands
• Centeno advises that trousers feature a stripe down the leg, should be worn at the natural waist with suspenders rather than belts, and that waist coverage via waistcoat or cummerbund should be black to streamline the silhouette
