Shop the Look: Edition 3 - featuring the James black tuxedo and a sharp velvet waistcoat.

Sophistication is the key this season, and it doesn’t get any more sophisticated than a tuxedo (check out our Ultimate Tuxedo Guide here to look like Bond), right? Wrong.

 

The black James tuxedo holds its own when it comes to style. It is a complete five piece suit that comes with all the components you need to create a smart image, minus the shoes. The tuxedo follows traditional tuxedo rules with a satin strip down the trouser leg, lapels, covering the pockets and buttons. The suit is cut into a slim fit to make for a modern silhouette and lined with a soft satin. It can be worn with either a cummerbund or a waistcoat.

 

We opted with a waistcoat. This is the eye-catching piece of the outfit; the Oscar waistcoat. The waistcoat is made of a velvet cloth, cut into a contemporary slim fit – perfect for accompaniment with the James tuxedo's slim aesthetic. The waistcoat comes with a matching bow-tie to make a really textured look.

 

Just complete with patent black shoes – we used the Nico shoes. Patent black is always the best choice when worn with a tuxedo because the shiny leather of the shoes matches the satin elements of the tuxedo. Ever unsure of what shoes to match with what suit? Never fret - we've got a guide for that too!

 

We've included a handy link for this luxurious outfit below if you love it! The Oscar waistcoat will soon be available to buy individually - so keep an eye on this space if you're interested.
