The Key Elements of a Perfect Black Tie Look

1. The Tuxedo: A Timeless Investment

Choose a one-button, single-breasted tuxedo with a well-structured fit. Benetti’s craftsmanship ensures a silhouette that flatters every body type while maintaining an effortlessly sharp appearance.

2. The Shirt: A Crisp Foundation

A white formal dress shirt with a structured spread collar is the ideal choice. Opt for subtle pleating or a textured bib to enhance sophistication.

3. The Bow Tie: A Must-Have Detail

A hand-tied black bow tie is the finishing touch—avoiding pre-tied versions ensures an authentic and polished appearance.

4. Footwear: Polished Perfection

A pair of high-shine black leather Oxford shoes completes the ensemble. Keep them immaculately polished for a flawless finish.

5. Accessories: Understated Refinement

  • A waistcoat for a structured, layered look.
  • Cufflinks that complement but don’t overpower.
  • A white pocket square folded neatly in the breast pocket.


Top 5 Wedding Day Black Tie Tips

  1. Fit is Everything – A well-tailored tuxedo enhances posture and confidence. Ensure your jacket is fitted at the shoulders and the trousers have a clean, tailored break.
  2. Consider Your Colour Palette – For grooms, deep navy or a rich velvet dinner jacket can subtly distinguish you from your groomsmen while maintaining cohesion.
  3. Timeless Over Trendy – Stick to classic pieces that won’t look dated in wedding photos years later.
  4. Groom & Groomsmen Coordination – Ensure subtle variations between the groom and his party, whether through a different lapel style, bow tie, or boutonniere.
  5. Confidence is the Ultimate Style Statement – The best-dressed man in the room isn’t just about what he wears—it’s about how he wears it.



With Benetti Menswear’s Black Tie Collection, you can embrace elegance with confidence, knowing every detail has been considered. Whether for a wedding or a grand event, a well-crafted tuxedo ensures you make a lasting impression.
