Tuxedo Vest

In terms of accessorizing formal wear, a tuxedo vest allows a man to showcase his personal style.

Tuxedo Shoes

A nice pair of formal tuxedo shoes will complete the overall look or make any suit or tuxedo looks its best. Shoes come in a variety of colors and materials to match each outfit the best.  

Suspenders or Braces

Want to make your outfit look a little bit different then the ordinary? Formal suspenders or braces hold up the pants as traditional tuxedo trousers don’t have belt loops. This makes it very common for many men to need them. Braces are great for trousers since they don’t have the inside buttons to adjust, the pants fit their best. Ultimately, formal wear should fit well in order to look its best.  

Top Hats

Scarves

Another great way to express your individuality when wearing formal wear is with a scarf. Not only will this spice up a look, but also exhibits a classic style that will never get old and can be worn for years to come. Choose a satin or silk variation.

Gloves

A simpler yet still sophisticated formal wear accessory is a pair of formal gloves. This allows a man to stand out, but in a classic way that doesn’t seem unfitting or over the top. Gloves are available in a variety of colors to match every look.

Ties and Cummerbunds

Perhaps the most obvious accessory for formal wear is a tie or cummerbund. They offer a distinctive look that is both traditional, but also allows a man to show his personal style.
