Black Tie: Rules, Rituals, and Relevance with Aleks Cvetkovic

In this first episode of Season Two, Tom Chamberlin is joined by Aleks Cvetkovic to explore the enduring world of black tie. From its origins in nineteenth-century Britain to its place on modern red carpets, they unpack the rules, the myths, and the subtle details that separate the merely correct from the truly elegant. Along the way, they discuss everything from lapels and cummerbunds to James Bond, Savile Row tailoring, and why the dinner suit continues to hold such power more than a century on.
