In summary,

Do you dream of a wedding under the Italian sun? Opt for the sun-kissed elegance of this tuxedo. The centrepiece of the look, its ivory shawl-collar jacket flatters the figure and captures the summer light with a fresh, airy feel. Paired with black trousers, it reimagines the formal ‘White Tie’ wedding dress code whilst avoiding an all-black ensemble.

Details of the parts

The Ivory Jacket with a Shawl Collar

The centrepiece of this ensemble, the ivory jacket stands out thanks to its shawl collar. With its formal look, the shawl collar softens the silhouette whilst lending it a stately bearing. 

The Dormeuil Barathea Fabric

Dormeuil’s expertise is fully evident in this traditional Barathea weave. With a weight of 350g/m, the fabric is crease-resistant and will retain its impeccable shape throughout your celebrations. Its ‘powder grain’ texture offers a deep matt finish that softly diffuses light, contrasting superbly with the sparkle of your accessories.

Essential accessories

To complete this formal look, a generous black silk bow tie is essential to create the perfect contrast with the ivory shawl collar. 

When should you wear this tuxedo?

White Tie Wedding
