Formal Evening Shoelace Etiquette
Formal evening shoelaces should be worn with formal evening laced shoes, either well-shined black oxfords or patent leather oxfords. Bar lacing is the conventional lacing schema because it provides the most majestic and dignified effect for shoelaces worn with tuxedos, dinner suits, and tailcoats.
The Plush Decadence of Velvet
Velvet is a sumptuously soft fabric, characterized by its distinctive plush feel and luxurious sheen. This opulent textile is woven on a special loom that weaves two thicknesses of the fabric at the same time. The two pieces are then cut apart to create the upraised pile, giving velvet its traditional rich texture.
In the realm of Black Tie menswear, velvet is synonymous with elegance and sophistication. It is commonly used in formal attire to curate an ensemble that speaks volumes of refinement and style. Dinner jackets, cummerbunds, bow ties, shoelaces, and even evening slippers have all been made from velvet.
Embracing velvet in your Black Tyre attire is not just about following tradition, but it’s about crafting moments and memories wrapped in the splendor of timeless fashion.
How to Care for These Laces
To ensure that your laces remain in pristine condition, proper care and storage are crucial.
Cleaning
- If you notice that your laces are beginning to appear dirty, or if you wear your laces in adverse weather conditions when it is dusty, muddy, rainy, or snowy, remove the laces for cleaning, potentially at the same time as you are cleaning or polishing your footwear.
- Soak your laces in a mixture of warm water and mild soap, then gently rub them between your fingers.
- Rinse thoroughly and lay them flat to air dry; avoid wringing them out as this could cause them to lose their shape.
Storage
- When storing, it’s best to roll the laces loosely to prevent any creases or damage.
- Keep them in a dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the color over time.
