Black Tie in Summer
Yes, it’s possible—and expected—to wear a tuxedo in July. The key is fabric and fit. Opt for a lightweight wool or silk blend tuxedo in black or midnight navy, paired with a moisture-wicking tuxedo shirt. Velvet loafers or patent lace-ups complete the look, along with a classic bow tie and minimal cufflinks.
What works: A peak-lapel tux with a hidden placket shirt and silk accessories. Keep it traditional, but breathable.
Avoid: Ill-fitting rental tuxedos and wingtip collars unless you’re going full classic.
