The InSider

There’s no denying that the age of the tuxedo has reached its golden age once again, due to rising ‘dapper culture’ where men are wanting to look and feel good for themselves. Popular drama shows like ‘Madmen’ & ‘Suits’ are also giving resurgence for men to look crisp and ‘gentlemen like’ and ditching the 2000s era of ‘smart casual’. As we approach a time where a custom, tailor made tuxedo is now more affordable than ever, let’s go back in time and relive some of fashion's best tuxedo moments.

Frank Sinatra
Ol’ Blue Eyes once said, “For me, a tuxedo is a way of life.” He always looked the part, and much like his Rat-Pack pals, never looked out of place donning black-tie attire.

Muhammed Ali
Muhammed Ali is rightly recognised as the greatest pure boxer of all-time. His blend of ability and charisma created a legacy that’s lived on well after his career. Always an impeccable dresser, Ali was a big fan of bespoke suits. Especially tuxedos.

Ryan Gosling
