Black Satin Silk Cummerbund

The solid black satin silk cummerbund is the most recognisable finishing piece of black tie dress. Its lustrous satin face mirrors the silk lapels of a dinner jacket, creating a polished look from collar to waist. Upward-facing pleats follow long-standing convention, and it fastens discreetly at the back for a smooth front. Worn in place of a waistcoat, it conceals the waistband and gives evening dress a tidy, considered line. Pair it with a black satin bow tie for a classic match at dinners, balls, weddings and formal evenings.
