1. Rock a Bowtie!

They say that history always repeats itself, and the fashion world is no different. The timeless bow tie exudes both luxury and class. From James Bond to Bill Nye, nothing announces your presence like a bow tie!

2. It’s the little things!

It’s not everyday that there is a crucial need for men to accessorize, but it’s definitely important to dress to the nines on your wedding day. For example, make sure you have a nice stud set (it’s those little pieces of jewelry that are used in place of buttons). The stud set provided by tuxedo renter’s are usually not especially well done, so we here at Greenvelope encourage to make your own! If you’re looking to add a creative touch, find a stud set that complements your cuff links! read more…
