    Whats the driving force that causes you to return to StyleForum? (MC Version)

    As someone who only recently found SF my main reason was the following: Not knowing enough about clothes in general, I will (hopefully) need to wear a suit to work once I graduate, while that is far off in the horizon I believe it won't hurt to start building up knowledge already to get things...

    White tie - need some pointers

    Doing it right quickly turns out to compromising the least. As of now there will be no detatchable collar for the shirt, the vest will be saying boo, from under the coat and the salesman did not even know what patent leather pumps were, so I'll have to go with patent leather oxfords.

    White tie - need some pointers

The waistcoat should be even with the bottom of the coat's front, and not protrude below. This absolutely requires that the trousers have a high rise and...

    White tie - need some pointers

    Alright thanks I hope you don't mind if I pose another couple of questions that sprang to mind. First of all, as I understand it a top hat is customary with white tie, but not only am I the sort of person who doesn't wear hats in general, but also it would feel a bit... over the top. (I'm...

    White tie - need some pointers

    So I've recently run into an opporunity to wear white tie attire, and since I'm less than knowledgeable in the subject and since I've made the desicion to buy rather than rent I thought I'd ask for some help here. So are there any obvious points that are bound to go wrong? What kind of cuffs...
