Bond is also an Englishman wearing Brioni.Originally Posted by intent
are there different black tie rules in England? mostly I disagree with the tone of blog, which is very authoritarian about subjective things. he attempts to write the all encompassing truth when there is none.

I think wearing a tuxedo to a wedding is a bit weird in the first place.

I realize this. It really meant to be more snarky than harsh. And I also realize there is no all encompassing truth - I am trying to teach generally accepted "classic rules" to guys that need to know them. I have had dozens of friends specifically request this over the past few years, so now I am finally trying to deliver.
This is a work in progress, however, and there's no reason not to course-correct. I appreciate your opinions and hope to use them to improve the blog.

I agree with your attitude, a bright cream tie can be acceptable. But the wearer must know his audience and coordinate with the rest of his outfit.
Giving "classic rules" at least provides a framework to know what he or she is departing from.

Regardless, I've subscribed to the RSS feed. Please focus on critiquing others akin "pre-tied bow ties are for clowns and liberals", and leave the basic rules for other blogs.Originally Posted by intent
This is DC. Some political snark will find its way in, surely. Hopefully I can keep a healthy does of both that and the rules...

I agree with most of it, but the tone is nasty. I honestly wouldnt visit that blog seeking advice.
