The art of the formal evening

A tuxedo is not worn — it is composed.

Black tie is the strictest and, at once, the most liberating dress code: when the rules are given, all that matters is execution. Elio Evan tuxedos in stretch wool, tailored in Italy, become the base of a complete composition — a white shirt, a silk bow tie, a black leather shoe. Every element chosen so the whole speaks quietly.

Look 01 · Black Tie

The canon, perfected

The classic answer to the invitation that reads black tie: a black tuxedo with contrast cuffs, a white poplin shirt, a black silk bow tie and black leather Oxfords. Nothing superfluous — only proportion.

Look 02 · The White Jacket

For the evenings of summer

A wedding by the sea, a rooftop gala: the white tuxedo with satin trim is the surest way to impress without excess. It pairs with a white contrast-stitch shirt and a black Vibram-sole loafer — formality that walks comfortably until morning.

Look 03 · Double-Breasted

The host's statement

The double-breasted tuxedo is for the man who does not attend — he receives. With a semi-pointed collar white shirt and a blue silk bow tie as a discreet dissonance, the silhouette gains character without breaking the code.
