• The dinner jacket shirt is very characteristic. It is white and is distinguished by its collar, which leaves all the room for the bow tie, but also by its bib and cuff, which highlights your cufflinks. It is possible to choose a shirt without a front panel, for a less conventional look.
• The bow tie in satin silk is the emblematic accessory of the luxury dinner jacket. Choose it in black to match your outfit. The self-tied bow tie is the most elegant option, especially as you can undo it if you wish, unlike a pre-tied bow tie.
