Thank you… thats realy sharp
Yiezzz!
How about wearing buttons with that shirt…!?!
Mr. Marshall does not know much about black or white tie. Traditionally speaking, black tie means a “semi-formal/after 6 o’clock” event that requires a tuxedo and black bow tie. White tie is an entirely different dress code that has nothing to do with the colour of the jacket. To find out how to properly dress for black or white tie events, Google “The Essential Black Tie Guide”. It’s a lifesaver!
Black tie: semi-formal
White tie: formal
You mostly see white tie attire at formal dinners with dignitaries and world leaders.
he looks so GAYYYYY!!! n he looks like a clown on it!hahahhahahah!!
it adds the special little touch hahahahhaha
black is not the most formal dress code, white tie is….
Wow, he said so many wrong things there’s no way of knowing where to start.
He looks as if he’s out of the 1970s.
I have seen the odd ruffled shirt lately, but never actually wiith a black bow tie it’s always been open (like a pirate) or once with a cravat ( like Mr darcy from Pride and Prejudice).
wrong, Wrong, WRONG! Black tie means BLACK tie, not dress like a prom kid or Austin Powers…. and White tie is black jacket with a WHITE tie
ROFLMAO he looks so gay.
Traditionally, BLACK tie was worn at a gentlemen only function (at the club, sportsman’s dinner etc).
WHITE tie was worn when there were ladies present.
No exceptions, very simple.
A shirt of any colour!! SO WRONG!!!
his shoes are sooooo wrong
His advice sounds like “black tie American style”. All he needs is a pimp cane to go with that velvet notched collar suit. That ruffle shirt is worn in circuses and proms, but you can’t call that black tie.
These days, very few people understand how to dress correctly for a black tie event. Even our president and Hollywood guys get it wrong when they mess up on the details which actually count the most. You can’t slap on a regular suit, white shirt, bow tie and think it’s really black tie.
Are we dressing for the 17th century black tie party there?
Shirt cuffs left undone and a pre-tied bow tie? Tsk, tsk.
Most tuxes have the pretied bow ties and ties, they are buttoned in the back, just to make them look perfect.
oh fuck butler from fresh prince of belair. omg. dude, stop this shit. u look like 007. what is that embrodery shuffle thing underneath the coat, looks like zoro.
Hi, I’m Bruce the Wedding Singer !!!!!!!!!!

white tie is the most formal event actually
white tie means a white tie not white jacket. its supposed to be a waist coat with the tail… and those are not tux shoes…
ruffled shirt? get out of here dude. then again i’m used to seeing noobs on ehow trying to be experts :\
Is this a joke?
Black tie, the most formal of all occasions? What?? What a maroon.
