Black Tuxes Are Cool, But, Dinner Jackets Are Better

ok, keep your full tux ready too!

It’s official — fall event season is among us. While it’s easy to don that trusty and well-tailored tuxedo you got a few years back, fall black tie events call for a bit of panache. One of the easiest and most stylish ways to kick up your fall formal wear style is to — rock a funky dinner jacket. 

A punch of plaid, a rich burgundy velvet or burnt orange will turn your formal style up to 1000! Honestly, it’s your time to be the most stylish guy at the party, because a little competition is good for everyone.

Gone are the days that tuxedos being the standard uniform for black tie events. Maximalism is become the new standard. However; when heading to an event that will be held in the evening especially during the fall, you want to do a few things to make sure your outfit hits all the marks:

  • Opt for rich colors and patterns that are autumn-appropriate, like a black watch dinner jacket. Think forest green velvet or burgundy
  • Don’t go overboard with the patterns. You’re already making a style swerve and you don’t want to off the rails
  • For starters, stick with a traditional pair of black tuxedo pants are the glue to bring your outfit together
  • Keep your accessories classic, understated watch and bow tie that matches the lapel fabric of your jacket
  • Have fun with your footwear, but, make sure its complementary to your overall look
  • Find a jacket with a bit of texture, trust me, it’s a conversation starter. Or at least, people are going want to feel you (in you’re into that sort of thing)
