Embracing History:
Black Tie Events in New York and Beyond

Black tie events embody an air of sophistication and refinement. From exclusive galas to prestigious award ceremonies, New York City sets the stage for unforgettable occasions.

The history of black tie events can be traced back to 19th-century England when the less formal dinner jacket emerged as an alternative to the restrictive white tie attire. Its popularity soared when the Prince of Wales embraced it, leading to its acceptance as a formal dress code. Black tie events have since become synonymous with sophisticated occasions, allowing individuals to showcase their refined style. From classic tuxedos to modern variations, black tie attire has evolved while retaining its essence of elegance and timeless charm.

A tweed suit is a classic and timeless piece of men's bespoke suiting. It is made from tweed, a rugged woolen fabric known for its durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions. Tweed suits are typically associated with traditional British style, particularly the aristocratic and hunting cultures of the Scottish and Irish countryside. They are often characterized by their earthy and muted color palette, as well as their distinctive herringbone or houndstooth patterns.
