Cummerbunds are the perfect accessory for black tie attire, and help to finish of a tuxedo in a stylish yet modest way. The cummerbund is a strip of velvet fabric wrapped around the waist, and is worn in place of the vest. Worn with the pleats facing upwards, they are used to hide the meeting of the shirt and pants.

Cummerbunds for men are stylish and functional accessories that have been a staple of formalwear for centuries. These waistband-like garments are typically worn with tuxedos or dinner jackets and serve both aesthetic and practical purposes.
The cummerbund has its origins in traditional South Asian attire, particularly in India, where it was known as the "kamarband". British military officers stationed in India during the 19th century adopted this garment as part of their formal dress, introducing it to Western fashion. Over time, the cummerbund evolved into a key element of formalwear, finding its place in Black Tie events and other formal occasions.
Cummerbunds add a touch of sophistication to formal attire, enhancing the overall aesthetic of a tuxedo or a dinner jacket. They are worn over the waistline and typically feature pleats, providing a visually appealing contrast to the sleek lines of the jacket and pants.
Cummerbunds serve a practical purpose by concealing the waistband of trousers, ensuring a neat and refined appearance. This is particularly useful when the shirt is tucked in, as it prevents the shirt from peeking out below the dinner jacket.
Our Cummerbunds are crafted mainly from two materials.
Silk cummerbunds are luxurious and offer a subtle sheen, making them a popular choice for formal occasions. They come in a range of colours with matching bow ties, allowing for versatility in matching with different ensembles.
Like silk, satin cummerbunds have a smooth and shiny finish. They are often chosen for their elegant appearance and work well with formalwear.
Some of our cummerbunds will be patterned for individuals who want to make a statement or to match special events, such as tartan for Burns night.
