Often referred to as “black tie optional,” a formal dress code calls for a polished and sophisticated look without requiring a full tuxedo. Think sharp suits and coordinated accessories that elevate your overall style.
Here are five key tips to nail the formal look:
1. Tailored Suit
Stick to classic dark shades like black, navy, or charcoal, or opt for subtle neutrals. Fit is crucial—make sure your suit is well-tailored. The Idaho Check Suit offers an option to go all out with a coordinating waistcoat for a complete three-piece ensemble.
2. Crisp Dress Shirt
A fresh dress shirt is essential. The Max Dress Shirt features Cool Max technology to keep you comfortable all day long.
3. Smart Accessories
Accessories make all the difference at formal events. Choose a tie and pocket square that enhance your suit. Don’t skip the finer details like cufflinks and a tie pin.
4. Polished Shoes
Footwear should be clean, well-polished, and classic. Dress shoes like the Jonah style—available in black, tan, chocolate, and cognac—are perfect for completing the look.
5. Final Tip
A white shirt is always a safe choice, but if you’re opting for color, stick with shades that complement your suit for a cohesive outfit.
