Black Men’s Trousers – Dinner jacket trousers is another name for this. Just like the jacket, these pants come with a shiny part that is called the piping. The piping is found at the sides. It can be made of silk, grosgrain or satin. Perhaps, you used silk for the lapels. Then, use silk for the piping too. It is important that the lapel and the piping match.

Black Oxford Shoes – Men’s formal wear would be incomplete with out an appropriate pair of black oxford shoes. Ensure that they are well-polished. The laces must be silk to match the lapels and the piping.
