Black Tie: Rules, Rituals, and Relevance with Aleks Cvetkovic
The Luxury Dispatch with Tom ChamberlinShow Notes
Did you know tuxedos shouldn't be worn at weddings? Not sure how to choose formal wear? Joined by Aleks Cvetkovic, Tom Chamberlin returns to help you make sartorial choices depending on the occasion.
Along the way, they discuss everything from lapels and cummerbunds to James Bond, Savile Row tailoring, and why the dinner suit continues to hold such power more than a century on.
From its origins in nineteenth-century Britain to its place on modern red carpets, they unpack the rules, the myths, and the subtle details that separate the merely correct from the truly elegant.
And thanks to our sponsor Swaine, a house defined by its long-standing commitment to British craftsmanship and the creation of refined accessories that sit naturally alongside formal dress.
