‘White Tie’ is the pinnacle of formal dress for gentlemen and is unwaveringly specific in terms of dress code. Once the reserve for opera, ballet, charity balls, and royal events, the standard White Tie evening attire is the pre-requisite for those attending grand dinners and city occasions such as embassy and Lord Mayor functions. The black tailcoat is cut very high at the front and has a peaked lapel; the tail should finish at the back of the knee. Trousers are black formal trousers, with satin seams on the outside leg, never with turn ups or cuffs, trousers have a fish-tail back and thus, are worn with braces instead of a belt. A white starched Marcella waistcoat, a wing collar, attached with two studs, a white plain stiff-fronted cotton Marcella tunic shirt, and a white Marcella cotton bow tie, self tie of course.
