| All About White Dinner Jackets There's something dashing and very James Bond about a white dinner jacket. So how, when and where do you wear one? The How
First off, white dinner jackets usually aren't truly white, but rather cream. Pair it with a white shirt (yes, a true white) and black trousers, or cream trousers that were made to match the jacket. If the jacket is double-breasted, you won't need a cummerbund. If it's single-breasted, go with a black cummerbund and a black tie. The When
A white jacket is meant to look and be cool in hot weather. The rules aren't as strict as Memorial Day to Labor Day anymore, but certainly not before May and not after September - unless, of course, you're in the tropics or in the southern hemisphere. The Where
A white dinner jacket looks right at home at the country club, along the shore or on a cruise. It's a stylish choice for daytime formal events, black & white dress code events or even a more formal event if, say, it's taking place in the tropics. And it's also ideal for hanging out at the casino, if you happen to be James Bond. |
