Five Ways To Wear: The Dinner Jacket -- MR PORTER

MR PORTER's Style Director, Mr Dan May, presents a quintet of eveningwear options.

[TopStrikerMaverick]

The first one is the most unholy alliance of clothing I have ever seen!

[Anti-Taxxer]

the first look is simply terrible, who the hell wears a tux with a track pant? that's just messed-up.

[DamienBroderick]

As much as I love Mr.Porter and what they do, track pants are for the gym or track, not to be worn with a dinner jacket.
Maybe it's just me being a tailor by trade, but tradition is tradition for a reason, you can be creative with a tuxedo without ruining the whole thing with track pants.

i dare someone to attend a formal function with sweatpants and not get thrown the fuck out

This is the fashion equivalent of vegan bacon. Find another calling mate. Fashion is not for you.

If a person is a 'reluctant tuxedo wearer' he should just not wear one, not try and jazz it up wearing it with fucking sweat pants. Number 2 is merely a black jacket with jeans for god's sake! Number 4 is just a black suit.

This 'stylist' is a joker. A dinner suit doesn't need to be 'updated', there's a reason it is considered a classic.

Why in the world are you using pre-tied bow ties?

[mickeysealtoe]

The fuck were they smoking on #1. I guess it's practical if you have inflamed nuts.

I think we all can agree the 1st look was complete whack. The rest of the looks were much better.

#1... business on the top, saggy diaper pants on bottom... pretty much would have to be a model to pull that off without looking like a joke.  The rest are great.

#1 - The I failed in life look.
#2 - The fashion less monotone with zero contrast look.
#3 - The baggy trouser unstructured look.
#4 - The 'I know nothing' look (necktie for black tie event and 2 button jacket, should only be one button you troglodytes)!
#5 - The decent look (a bit unstructured at the shoulders).


It's all in the accessories chaps, if you are fed up of that move to a velvet dinner jacket or smoking jacket. Not this hideous stuff.

[billiejoe]

please fire this stylist. i mean, the first look is disgraceful

[Ani]

Sweats with a dinner jacket? 
Clip on bow tie?
wtf is this shit?

[Chlera]

#1, 2 & 4 weren't even dinner jacket.

OK, here's what this video should've looked like (in my opinion anyway)
1) ultimate black tie-1 button, barathea peak lapel tuxedo with 3 button u shape evening waistcoat. Marcella turndown collar shirt with onyx studs. Patent leather Oxfords, white linen pocket square
2) Simple elegance - 1 button shawl lapel tuxedo with grosgrain lapel, bow tie and cummerbund. Simple evening shirt with covered button placket
3) vintage style-same barathea tuxedo as look 1, but accessorised with starched bib front and detachable wing collar. V shape backless evening waistcoat in black barathea or white marcella. Opera pumps and white boutounniere.
4) velvet heaven - dark navy /midnight blue velvet shawl lapel smoking jacket with grosgrain lapel and accompanying bow tie. Black wool and mohair evening trouser. Same marcella shirt as look 1.Navy monogrammed velvet evening slippers. White linen pocket square. Oh, and a black velvet evening waistcoat.
5) summer elegance-ivory peak lapel tuxedo jacket with red boutounniere (a la seen connery in goldfinger) pleated front evening shirt with mother of pearl dress studs. Lightweight silk and mohair black evening trouser. Black silk cummerbund. Patent leather Oxfords.
6) White tie! Why not wear the classic in men's evening wear, with marcella waistcoat, white bow tie and bib front shirt with removable wing collar. White boutounniere, and opera pumps.

This stylist is the biggest troll evah. I love how normally he dresses on himself but he always makes the model look what I would call expensive ridiculous mess. LOL

[leonardobriceno]

I forced myself to keep watching after outfit #1. I nearly cried when they pulled out the clip on bow tie.

[MRJOSHmo]

the first look is so worthless you can't wear that nowhere.

[bookreport]

Rock but no rolls and mr midnight are my go to thanks to this video.
