Black Tie, of course, has a relatively strict dress code and when you want to get all of the details right, a Brooks Brothers tuxedo shirt can get you there. They offer both pleated front and bib front models and also offer a detachable wing collar, if you're truly into that crisp look. By the way, if you'd like to know more about tuxedo shirts specifically or the other elements of proper black tie, you can find them in our comprehensive black tie guide here. Opera Pumps Along those same lines, the next item we recommend you pick up if you're so inclined is a pair of traditional opera pumps. These are the most formal shoes that a man can wear, suitable for both Black Tie and White Tie and Brooks Brothers still offers them. Sweaters Sweaters are, of course, a classic winter addition to any man's wardrobe when worn in the correct way. By this, we mean that there are many styles of sweater that Brooks Brothers offers but there are a select few that we would actually recommend. You should probably opt for classic styling and by this, we mean things like turtlenecks, cardigans, v-necks, and shawl collars. Conversely, you probably don't want to get anything with zippers, crew necks, or hoods. Also, rather than synthetics, you should go for natural materials like cotton, wool, merino, and cashmere. Chinos We did a little survey on our YouTube community page asking you, the viewers, what you'd like to see us mention from Brooks Brothers and chinos came up repeatedly. Now, we can't speak to this from personal experience but there are a number of factors that point toward Brooks Brothers chinos being a great pair of pants. Overcoats Brooks Brothers is one of the few off the rack companies that still offers a variety of overcoats in natural materials and classic silhouettes. They are often pricey as you'll typically spend anywhere from five hundred to two thousand dollars but the look is quintessentially classic so if you treat the garment well, you should get many years of use out of it therefore, bringing that important cost per wear metric down considerably. Oxford Cloth Button Down Shirts (OCBD) We would, of course, be remiss if we didn't mention the OCBD which was, in fact, Brooks Brothers' invention. They have fine fit options from slim to relaxed and they come in classic styling patterns and colors. Also, the look of these shirts is meant to be a bit more relaxed so it is okay if the fit isn't 100% perfect to you. Non-Iron Dress Shirts Brooks Brothers' non-iron dress shirts did also come up repeatedly in our comments but again, we don't have any personal experience with them. Shoes We also recommend their shoes, specifically, the models that run under the Peal & Company brand name and not any others. Pajamas They are offered in a wide variety of styles including thin robes, checked cotton flannels, or shirt fabric styles.
