The history of Black Tie begins at the end of the 19th century. As a more elegant yet more relaxed alternative to the tailcoat, the dinner jacket developed into the new look for formal evening events. The modern tuxedo was born. While the term "Smoking" became established in German-speaking countries, the suit is still called a tuxedo in the USA today. Internationally, the corresponding dress code is primarily referred to as Black Tie.
What once followed strict rules is now interpreted more individually. This is exactly where WILVORST Black Tie comes in: timeless elegance meets a modern attitude.
Today, the tuxedo is no longer exclusively reserved for classic evening wear. More and more grooms are choosing a tuxedo as a wedding suit – and in doing so, making their own appearance a statement.
Whether classic in black, sophisticated in navy, or interpreted in a modern way: a tuxedo creates exactly the kind of special elegance that a wedding deserves.
As part of the House of Celebration, WILVORST Black Tie therefore stands for a new generation of festive menswear: confident, high-quality, and made for the moments that last.
