Very, very soon it's that very special time of the year - the grande finale. One drink down, with a fresh shave and ninety minutes until guests arrive is the time to line up the rig, pour another one and enjoy the true pleasure of dressing yourself. Above, you find some of the classic essentials but also a refreshing alternative. Silk in the shape of a "bat-wing" bow tie and cummerbund combination from Drake's and socks from Breschiani are the conventional choices, countered by a pair of unorthodox shoes. Not for the faint of heart, the Crockett & Jones Cavendish in pitch black suede is an in equal parts unconventional and smashing choice of footwear for black tie. #crockettandjones #bresciani #drakeslondon #drakes #codismaya #l2 #linnegatan2 #menswear #mensfashion #mensstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/Br4e8iWHXEw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tsfc5mo8s87
