Hats have become an important fashion item to create the right attitude and you can find it from Italian maker Cervo, or popular hats from Kangol, contemporary hats from Makins, cool quality and tradition from Wigens, or Woolrich the outdoorsman. 

Scarves can pop an outfit with texture from Chelsea Imports, luxorious cashmere from Alashan to Johnston, handmade novelties from Margo Petitti, or V. Frass covering a multitude of looks.

No guy feels dressed without a belt and this is where attitude can shine from AJ Skins for exoctic leathers, Bill Adler, Robert Graham, and Will for jean belts, Fullum & Holt in fine leathers, Trafalgar and Tulliani for classics to novelty, and Smathers & Branson for casual weekend gear.

Formal Wear

Formal Wear/Tuxedo's, so when you get the invitation for a "Black Tie" event and you don't have a tuxedo what do you do? You can either rent or buy. If you expect to wear a tuxedo more than two or three times in a year or two, it's probably better to buy -  if not rentals offer an affordable alrenative.

The tuxedo jacket should fit like a regular suit jacket, choose from single or double breasted models that may have a notch, peak or shawl collar all constructed in satin. The tuxedo pant again should fit like a tailored dress pant the main difference is the long satin stripe that runs along the outseam. You want the pants to fit perfectly since there are no belt loops and usually suspenders are used that button into the inside of the waistband.

There are vests and cummerbund options that run from being conservative to the most outlandish of colors and patterns - find the one that most fits your personality. When it comes to bow ties avoid the clip ons or try a satin long tie.

The tuxedo shirt collars come in a classic point, wing or banded collar and it should always feature french cuffs. The front of the shirt can be plain or it can feature a pique texture or pleats. And don't forget studs for the front of your shirt that come in black, gold or pearl. And finally, when it comes to shoes, the classic patent leather lace up is the way to go to your "Black Tie" event.

Some of the resources and designers we like in tuxedo's are Fabian Couture Group, Hardwick, Jack Victor, Joseph Abboud, Lauren and S.Cohen. And for your accessories Ascot, Carrot & Gibbs, Gitman, Ike Behar and JP Graytok all stand out.
