Waistcoats

A vital part of wedding attire is the waistcoat, there to bring a dash of sophistication and extravagance to the proceedings. The waistcoat has its origins in the 17th century when King Charles II introduced the clothing as part of the correct wear for the restoration of the British Monarchy. It has remained in favour since and is usually worn for such formal, Royal occasions and of course weddings.

For a very traditional look this smart formal double-breasted number is just the ticket – made from a polyester/wool and mohair blend with a 6 button fastening and neat side pockets this waistcoat will finish the look with a formal wedding suit or morning jacket from a wide selection at MyTuxedo priced from £19.99 to £60

Dress Shirts

What is a suit without a crisp white and perfectly laundered shirt underneath? Ideally choose a shirt with a high amount of fine quality cotton that allows skin to breathe, for an ultra comfortable feeling that will last all day; vital for nervous grooms or the father of the bride!

A traditional classic style is this Standard Collar – Plain Front Dress Shirt with a stiff, straight collar, plain front, hidden buttons and dual cuffs. It’s made from poly/cotton so is easy to iron and is the kind of shirt that you can wear again and again for a fresh, smart look.

For something with a little extra try the Wing Collar – Pleated Front – Formal Dress Shirt with immaculately straight front pleats and again comes with concealed buttons and double cuffs. If you don’t want to wear a waistcoat then the pleat detail of this shirt will help you to stand out and look at your very best.

Cummerbunds

The cummerbund is often used as a decorative alternative to a waistcoat and can often be vital for black tie events. They originated in Persia and are traditionally either black or white but other decorative alternatives are now considered acceptable.

This 100% Black Silk Cummerbund is pleated for a modern, smart look and is secured together at the back with metal fastenings. It is fully adjustable and perfect for black tie events, weddings and other formal gatherings.

As a rather more decorative option the Paisley Cummerbund will match perfectly with any number of morning suits and brings a modern twist to a most traditional dress. It’s made from a high quality silk weave and can be altered to provide a snug and comfortable fit.

Cravats

Cravats used to be part of a military dress code before making their way into smart, formal attire for men. Seen by many as a comfortable and more fashionable alternative to a wedding tie, they are loosely worn around the neck and come in various styles. For men’s wedding wear they are traditionally chosen to match the waistcoat.

The Pink Scrunchy Style Wedding Cravat is made from 100% pure silk and comes pre-notted with an adjustable neck band. It helps to soften a formal black suit and adds a flourish of colour.

Alternatively, try this Ivory Scrunchy Cravat with adjustable neck strap and easy fastening clip.

All of the wedding ties and cravats are made from the finest materials and come in various styles and colours that are suitable for day or evening wear. You don’t have to worry about tying yourself in knots either as each one is pre-knotted and all are adjustable to ensure a great fit.
