Ensure your attire is tailored properly

A SuitShop tuxedo gives you the clean lines and structure of formal wear while still letting you express personality through the accessories and ties you choose

Whole-cut patent shoes are another excellent option for a sleeker silhouette

Pink and gold are a classic combination, which makes this look one of my favorites for a black-tie wedding

The same SuitShop suit can pull double duty across both, with a swap of shirt, tie, and accessories doing most of the work to shift between formality levels

If you need more coverage, toss a lightweight black linen shirt over the camisole and wear it open as a layering piece
