Setup, Compatibility & Care
This set is designed for straightforward integration into your formal wardrobe. Proper setup and care will ensure its longevity and impeccable appearance.
Setup & How to Wear
- Bow Tie: The bow tie is typically pre-tied or features an adjustable strap. Secure the strap around your neck, ensuring it sits comfortably beneath your shirt collar and the bow is centered.
- Cummerbund: The cummerbund is worn around the waist, covering the waistband of your trousers. Position it so the pleats face upwards. Secure the adjustable strap at the back, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit that doesn't create bulges under your jacket.
