Bucco’s Guide to Holiday Black Tie and Beyond!

We are stealthily approaching the end of another year. The Christmas bells are ringing, and so are the carols played to the gallery. A Santa Claus greets customers and passersby in every departmental store. Strings of electric lights along streets and buildings go on and off. The air is bitingly cold.

 

The festive lights glitter with hope that there is something to look forward to the coming Xmas eve. Not to mention Social media and WhatsApp popping out messages inviting you to the coolest New Year Eve balls in the town. But there’s something that caught your attention –“Black Tie Required”. A play spoiler? Definitely not, when all you need to do is to know the rules of the games. No worries, here’s a mini guide to Holiday Black Tie covered in this blog.

 

Black tie is a formal tradition that’s been celebrated for over 125 years or so. No other themed party can lend men a look that’s as elegant and stylish—of course, when done right—and project your masculinity as the Black tie. In some ways, it’s a rigid construction of the tuxedo. There exists to be an art too in other ways. Let’s put it straight: here is what you need to know about a proper Black Tie ensemble, though things may vary to appropriate the theme, to look stunningly stylish.
