Cummerbund

A cummerbund is a classic and formal waistband accessory worn with a tuxedo or formal evening wear. The primary purpose of a cummerbund is to cover the waistline and create a polished and formal appearance when wearing a tuxedo or dinner jacket. It is an alternative to wearing a vest or waistcoat with formal attire. It is worn at the natural waistline, covering the area where the shirt tucks into the trousers. The pleats of the cummerbund face upwards. Cummerbunds are reserved for formal occasions, such as black-tie events, weddings, galas, and opera performances. They are an essential element of traditional formal attire and contribute to a refined and polished appearance. Cummerbunds are often worn with a matching bow tie as part of a formal ensemble. They complement the overall look by adding a touch of sophistication and completing the formal attire.
