The Black Tie Rules

The Oxford (Essential)

The Marquis Oxford in black is the gold standard. Closed lacing, minimal stitching, and a high-shine finish are non-negotiable for traditional black tie.

The Modern Exception

For a contemporary twist, a sleek Double Monk Strap (like our Aristocrat) is acceptable, provided it is kept highly polished and devoid of broguing.
