David Donahue - Bow Tie
X
We know pre-tied bows have become popular but we have a strong bias towards the classic self-tie bow. The self-tied bow has character and individuality. It is not difficult to tie. Put it around your neck, close your eyes and pretend you are tying your shoe. After you get a starting bow, open your eyes and play around with it until you are happy with the look. Remember, it is not supposed to look perfect.

David Donahue - Cummerbund & Bow Tie Set
X
Cummerbunds are no longer required with your tuxedo. But for a formal wedding, they are very dapper and elegant. This set from David Donahue supplies both the self-tie bow and proper cummerbund. And, gents, wear it at your natural waist with the pleats up!

Tuxedo shoes have taken on a less formal look in recent years but we still like a classic look when you’re going to a black tie wedding. This black, patent leather plain toe from the wonderful Spanish shoemaker, Magnanni, is a comfortable winner.

J. Crew - Ludlow Shawl-Collar Tuxedo Jacket
X
Black Tie: J. Crew has taken a classic shawl collar (rounded, without a notch) tuxedo jacket, trimmed down the fit, narrowed the collar, added a double vent to the jacket, creating an amazingly fresh contemporary look. The fabric is from one of Italy’s finest mills. The jacket and pants are sold separately so you can by your exact size in each. The pants are even offered in a trim or classic fit – it’s almost like getting a custom-made tux, at J. Crew prices. This tuxedo even comes in navy, which is perfectly acceptable for a black tie affair. And yes, you can literally wear a black tie (or bowtie) with it.

J. Crew - Italian Satin Point Bow Tie
X
A shawl collar tuxedo looks best with a bow tie. The point bow - the fabric ends come to a point, not straight – is a fun, modern way to do a bow tie, and looks great with a modern, shawl collar tuxedo. This self-tie Italian satin one from J. Crew really completes the look.

Ike Behar - Plaid Silk Bow Tie
X
Depending on the event (and the couple hosting), it can be perfectly acceptable to punch up your look – especially if it’s a younger couple getting married or just like to have some fun. Replace your black bow tie with this plaid from Ike Behar. It is a pre-tie but we will make an exception to our self-tie rule for such an awesome one.

Brooks Brothers - Regent Fit 1818 Suit
X
Formal: From Brooks Brothers, the Italian super 130’s wool charcoal suit makes an elegant statement for a formal affair. Still very sophisticated, with the subtlest of patterns in its blue and white pindot stripes. The Regent model is Brooks Brothers’ closer-to-the-body but not a trim fit. The lapels are a bit narrower and the pant legs are just slim enough to create a modern look.

X
M.png)
You can wear a patterned shirt for a formal event, as long as it’s not overly bold. This white ground dress shirt with soft blue stripes from Ike Behar is a perfect choice. The blue stripes pick up the blue in the suit while the white ground keeps the look dressy.

Corneliani - Diamond Flower Silk Tie
X
The floral box and diamond pattern from Corneliani, in a luxurious Italian silk, works with the stripe shirt and highlights the blue stripe in the suit. The dark ground color makes it formal, and the 3-inch width is decidedly modern.

To Boot New York - Capote Oxford Shoe

When attending a more formal event, a perforated cap toe is an ideal sartorial choice. To Boot New York, known for their modern design and quality construction, offers just the shoe. You’ll find yourself reaching for these when you are getting ready for work, too. Note: Zappos recommends sizing down and we have found that to be true, as well.

BOSS Hugo Boss - Jery Slim Fit Easy Iron Dress Shirt
X
You already know you will never go wrong with a white dress shirt for a formal affair. In today’s more relaxed environment, though, a dressy blue and white stripe dress shirt is also a great option – and one that adds some modernity to your look. It’s always fun to appear like you know how to put a stylish look together, right? The slim stripe, trim fit and cut away collar of this Hugo Boss dress shirt is exactly what you need.

Magnanni - Nino Monk Strap Slip-On Shoe

While a slip on shoe can be considered more casual than a lace up, that is not the case here. This Monk strap slip on from Magnanni is a fabulous dress shoe for a Saturday evening wedding that gives you just a touch of additional style.

Peter Millar - Classic Fit Navy Windowpane Suit
X
Semi-Formal: We love this dark navy suit from Peter Millar. The fit is modernly classic, a little closer to the body than the older suits in your closet but not a trim, contemporary fit. The subtle overlay windowpane pattern is appropriate for a semi-formal affair and perfect for an important client meeting. This is an update worth having in your closet for whenever you need it.

Peter Millar - Nanoluxe Regular Fit Dress Shirt
X
Wear this coordinating white shirt from Peter Millar to go with it. If you’re ever not sure what shirt to wear with your suit, you will always win with a spread collar white shirt – no matter how dressy or casual the occasion. The fit is classic with plenty of room in the chest and a slight taper at the waist, which eliminates that blousy look when you tuck it in, and creates a slimmer silhouette (regardless of yours).

BOSS Hugo Boss - Silk Printed Tie
X
Even though this suit has a pattern, it’s subtle, so we like to play with some coordinating pattern in our tie to create a modern, and festive look. This tighter small pattern of circles and squares works perfectly. The colors highlight the pattern of the suit, and the fresh 3-inch width isn’t too skinny.

Allen Edmonds - FIfth Avenue Oxford Shoe
X
While black works with this suit, we advise going with this burnished dark brown cap toe shoe from Allen Edmonds. Brown shoes with a blue suit creates a sophisticated look, and a cap toe is always a classic investment worthy style.

Torino Leather Company - Soft Pebble Grain Calfskin Belt

Brown shoes require a brown belt. We like the rich color and texture of this aniline leather belt from Torino Leather. Tip: Your browns don’t need to match exactly, but they should be in the same family, like these shoes and belt.

Theory - Rodolf Boreal Jacket
X
Semi-Formal: From Theory, this dusty navy all wool suit jacket and matching pants are our pick, when like the event, things don't need to be not overly formal. The trim fit makes it contemporary and fresh, while the notch lapel and two button styling keep it classic. You can get plenty of wear out of it by wearing each piece separately, too, perfect for any night out or a day at the office.

Theory - Dover Bruckner Dress Shirt
X
This Theory blue and white pencil stripe dress shirt is an easy pairing for this suit. Still polished, it is a less formal alternative to a white shirt, while still keeping the look classic. The modern short collar and contemporary fit work perfectly with the style of the suit. If you want to go for something a little bolder, and still absolutely appropriate, we highly recommend this plaid shirt.

Drake's London - Circles Jacquard Neck Tie
X
Made in England from Drake’s London, this blue ground silk tie with an orange pattern will add a nice pop of color without going overboard. We also like the narrower width, which works well with the modern silhouette of the suit. If you opt for the bolder shirt choice we mentioned, this solid black tie is effortlessly chic.

Donald J Pliner - Borak Oxford Shoe
X
Keep the look clean and contemporary, with this plain toe oxford in expresso brown from Donald J Pliner. Made in Italy, Pliner is known for his styling and craftsmanship. While we prefer the expresso color as an interesting mix with the suit and striped shirt, the shoe is available in black, which works well if you go with the plaid shirt/solid tie combination.

Canali - Herringbone Jersey Blazer
X
Casual: For a day time outdoor wedding in the fall, this softly constructed jacket from Canali is ideal. It’s basically a cross between a sweater and a sport coat, in a wool/cotton herringbone fabrication that is really comfortable. To be honest, we're pretty obsessed with this one here in the office. You can wear with a pattern dress shirt, tie and wool trousers for a dressier look - or cotton twill pants and no tie for a more casual yet polished look. You will wear this jacket throughout the season for any casual workday and out to dinner, too.

Zanella - Todd Flat Front Trousers
X
To dress the jacket up a bit, if your event is leaning that way, pair it with these dark grey wool flat front pants from Zanella. Made in Italy, the fit is classic with a modern attitude. Zanella uses wonderful Italian fabrics and lines all their pants to the knee, so they are comfortable and not at all itchy. For a more casual approach, think relaxed “fall harvest” feeling, these dark grey cotton twill pants from AG Jeans are the way to go.
http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/canali-regular-fit-check-dress-shirt/3725087
Canali - Regular Fit Check Dress Shirt
X
This blue check from Canali adds interest to the herringbone jacket but is not so bold as to be inappropriate for a wedding. You can easily wear it with or without a tie. Canali’s fit is modern but not trim. The fabrics are among the world’s best, so it will stay in your wardrobe rotation for many wears.

BOSS Hugo Boss - Knit Silk Tie
X
If a tie is appropriate for the occasion, go with this Hugo Boss navy silk knit with the Tattersall shirt. (If you’re not sure, we always suggest erring on the side of slightly dressier, so if you’re traveling, bring it with you. You can always slip it off for the reception and put it in your pocket.) The narrower tie is the right shape for the contemporary suit, while the silk knit keeps things casual.

J. Crew - Italian Tipped Linen Pocket Square
X
No wedding guest outfit is complete without a pocket square, especially if it’s going to be outdoors, where you might actually need one. Try this white linen with blue piping from J. Crew. Fold it so the blue tips show along with the white linen for the little bit of color pop. And, when you want to wear this with other suits you can fold it so only the white shows. Now, that’s versatility.
