The Gentleman’s Guide to Red Carpet Accessories
Men's formal wear accessories on the red carpet typically elevate their look while adhering to traditional black-tie or white-tie dress codes. Here at Trafalgar, we have many accessories to accompany your next red carpet event!
Neckwear
The right neckwear can add personality while maintaining the elegance expected at such high-profile events. Neckties are occasionally seen, but bow ties are the more common neckwear on the red carpet. Bow ties are a staple for red carpet events. Men more than likely wear tuxedos on the red carpet, and bow ties are a great accessory to pair with them.
Jewelry
Explore an array of tuxedo and cufflink sets for your look on the red carpet. Made from high-quality materials, these pieces will catch the eye of anyone who sees them. Our cufflinks vary from formal pieces with their bold and masculine style to novelty pieces to show off your personality, yet striking addition to your attire. A well-dressed gentleman understands that minor details make a difference, so add some personality to your look with jewelry that elevates your style.
Pocket Accessories
Pocket accessories are subtle yet impactful details that can elevate a man’s formal ensemble on the red carpet. These small but stylish elements demonstrate attention to detail and refinement, perfectly complementing tuxedos and tailored suits. A boutonniere and lapel pin are great additions to your tuxedo. They’re the perfect finishing touch for any red carpet look, whether subtle or bold. A classic staple, pocket squares are often crafted from silk or satin and come in various colors and patterns. For a traditional black-tie look, a crisp white pocket square folded neatly or in a puff style is timeless. A bold color or subtle pattern can add personality for a more modern or playful approach.
Suspenders
Suspenders, or braces, are classic and functional accessories that add a polished touch to red carpet ensembles. While they are typically hidden beneath a jacket, suspenders offer timeless elegance and are a practical choice for ensuring a perfectly tailored fit. Satin or silk suspenders are the most appropriate for formal events, seamlessly blending with tuxedo fabrics. Black or white suspenders are the go-to for traditional attire. For a modern twist, subtle patterns or metallic finishes can add personality while staying elegant. Button-end suspenders are more common for red carpet events as they are more of an authentic and tailored look.
