In the wake of the weak sartorial turnout at this year's Tony Awards, I decided not to write yet another piece about the sad state of affairs as it pertains to good black tie, particularly at awards shows. Instead, I decided to publish a "Black Tie 101" piece that outlines all the components of bulletproof black tie. How NOT to fuck it up, basically.

A reader added a comment to the article addressing three excellent issues about black tie. The first was about waiting until he gets an actual invitation to a formal event to have his tailor create a dinner jacket for him; the second had to do with the endangered cummerbund; and his third topic had to do with cufflinks. It was a great comment on the post, which I address in this episode of the podcast. |
