Four-in-Hand Tie
Resembling an ordinary tie, this accessory is manufactured from a more expensive fabric and is usually worn with a director's suit.

Full Dress
Known as "tails" because it includes a tailcoat, this outfit is strictly formal and should not be worn during the day. Available in black, grey or midnight blue, the look comprises an ascot or bowtie, a winged collar tuxedo shirt, waistcoat and tuxedo pants.

Mandarin-collar Shirt
This shirt's band-type collar relieves the need for a tie and is suitable for both formal and informal occasions. A button cover may be used for decoration.

Morning Suit
The daytime equivalent of full dress, this suit consists of a mid-thigh length jacket with only one button and cut at an angle in front, from button to side, to expose the trousers, a striped ascot with a winged-collar shirt, grey or black striped trousers and a grey waistcoat.

Spencer Jacket
A type of tuxedo jacket, ending at the waist. The front opening of the jacket forms two points.

Studs
Like small cufflinks, these accessories replace the buttons of a formal tuxedo shirt.

Tailcoat

Turned-down Collar Shirt
An ordinary type shirt, less formal than the winged collar shirt, it is usually accessorised with a bowtie.

Tuxedo
A popular choice, with a variety of styles including both single and double breasted. A modern version of the old familiar tux is that with the stand up collar and no lapels. Tuxedos are available in black, grey, white or ivory. Whatever the style or colour, the tuxedo is always appropriate for formal weddings.

Waistcoat
An optional accessory that can be worn with almost any tuxedo, the waistcoat is available in both single and double breasted styles. The colour of the bowtie should match the waistcoat, both of these accessories being available in a variety of patterns and colours. Waistcoats are standard with full dress, white tie morning and director's suites.

Winged Collar Shirt
