Introducing the Black Tie & Tuxedo Pocket Guide

When you buy something using the affiliate links on our site, we may earn a small commission.

Over the last few years, we have reviewed the tuxedos and dinner jackets at the Oscars. Sadly most of those men have terrible black tie outfits despite the fact they have a lot of money but as the old saying goes:”Money can’t buy you style.”

Table of Contents

Now, it is always easy to criticize others, but doing it better is much harder. Therefore, we put together a 60+ page Black Tie Pocket Guide. That way you look your best no matter if you wear your tux at the club, your wedding, a gala or any other black tie event or affair.

At the launch, we will make it available to you for free, but it won’t always be like that. So get your copy while you can.

Of course, I am biased but I truly believe that this is the best actionable black tie dress code guide out there.

Yes, there is already another source out there: The Tuxedo & Black Tie Guide it has over 100,000 words cover Black Tie Etiquette, the Classic Tuxedo, the Contemporary Tux, an in-depth Tuxedo Buying Guide and much more.

It is without a doubt the most comprehensive guide on Tuxedos and Black Tie in the world. It will take hours to consume, whereas this pocket guide gets you up to speed swiftly, so you can enjoy you black tie event looking like James Bond. Both are great resources just with a different focus.

Naturally, some things are best explained in motion so we also created a Tuxedo & Black Tie Pocket Guide Video below that explains the details, DO’s & DON’Ts. It has different pictures and you should watch the video & read the guide for the ultimate experience.

In case you want to learn more about contrasting Dinner Jackets, head over here. If you are in need of some black tie accessories such as bow ties, cummerbunds, boutonnieres… take a look here.

  1. I love your assessments of celebrity formalwear; looking forward to reading the guide!

  2. Is it acceptable to wear a cumberbund with a double- breasted tuxedo?

    1. Double breasted jackets are always buttoned, even when sitting down. Also what would be its purpose as no one would see it?

  3. Great video. I’d love to read the guide but unfortunately did not get the link (nor a response to my Email inquiry). :(

    1. Check your spam and whitelist us. I cannot see any email from you. Did you fill out a contact form? This is a fully automated process. If you do not get the email, something is wrong on your end, not on our end.

      1. Thanks a lot for the reply. I tried three different Email-Addresses from different providers on two different PCs. I now get a lot of newsletters but still no PDF, also not in the spam.

        Somehow it seems the guide cannot cross the border into the German style desert. :D

        I know it’s a nuisance but maybe someone from the GG-Team can send the guide “by hand” to my Email? I would be extremely grateful. Thank you. Sorry also for hijacking the comments.

        1. Sorry you did not get the pdf. The pdf is not attached to the email. You have to click the link in the email to download it.
          I checked and the email was sent. I also manually went into the system and sent you the links again. Please check your inbox.
