The men’s Asti black tuxedo from designer Ike Behar is an instant classic. Made from luxurious stretch Marzotto fabric, this slim fit tuxedo is perfect for any formal or black tie affair.
The Asti Black Tuxedo Jacket
The jacket features a modern shawl lapel of black satin, one-button close with side vents, and besom pockets. The matching trousers are all-day all-night comfortable with a flattering fit and the matching black vest is youthful and on-trend. For those who wish to stand out, a shawl lapel is truly a statement.
The Shawl Lapel
Unlike the more common notch and the old school peak lapel options, the shawl is a sleek and formal style. The shawl lapel gained popularity in the late 19th century, evolving originally from the Victorian smoking jacket.
- The Design: A completely seamless, continuous curve with no breaks, notches, or points.
- Formality: This style is strictly reserved for formal evening wear.
- Versatility: It is used almost exclusively on tuxedos and formal dinner jackets.
- Visual Impression: The soft, rounded lines create a smooth frame around the chest, softening sharp facial features and conveying effortless elegance.
- Usage: It represents the quintessential choice for classic, black-tie event attire.
Asti Tuxedo’s Accessories
This tuxedo can be worn with a white or black dress shirt. Because of the formality we recommend a white shirt and bow tie, especially if you are following a Black Tie dress code.
Black patent leather shoes are worn with this tuxedo. Cuff links in gold or silver would work equally well.
A Black Tuxedo Perfect For:
This is a perfect tuxedo for a Groom to wear to a formal wedding in fall or winter, a formal business or charity event especially if you have a speaking role. Classic and very appropriate for a Father of the Bride or Groom, too.
To stand out as the Groom, consider wearing a bow tie while your groomsmen wear long ties. Or, the Groom can wear a white or ivory tie to match his bride, and the groomsmen can match the bridesmaids dresses.
