Academy Awards 2011: Men’s Fashion Roundup


People don’t just tune in to the Academy Awards every year to know which actor won which prize. Many of us tune in early just to see who is wearing what. The walk down the famed red carpet is an essential part of all the pageantry. The Academy Awards literally turns into a showcase of the greatest (and the priciest) designers from all over the world. Here are some of the classiest red carpet trends in men’s fashion you will want to try.

Tips to Dress Formally, Straight From the Oscars
The first thing you need to keep in mind when dressing for a formal event is to have the right silhouette. Never ever cuff your tuxedo pants and stay away from anything synthetic, such as polyester, as it may lead to perspiration. You could even opt for a waistcoat. Also, known as vests, they add a signature to your personality. Finally, accessorize to personalize your outfit, with cufflinks, studs, belts, shoes and, most importantly, neck ties, about which we will now talk.

The Bow Tie: Master wearing the bow tie. Don’t opt for the clip on variety, as fails miserably to give that classy look. Although it has been around for quite some time, the bow tie is back again in men’s fashion. At this year’s Oscars, bow ties were definitely a rage. The host of the evening, James Franco, paired a Gucci tuxedo and a classic bow tie. Best Actor Winner Colin Firth and heartthrob Jake Gyllenhaal are some other A-listers who stood out in their bow ties.

The Formal Tie: Many of the world’s best designers and high profile celebrities have used the tie to complement their outfit, right from swaths of monochromatic mixes to the shine of silver silk. Some men who got the formal tie look just right at the academy awards include funny man Russell Brand, who paired an outrageous blue-and-black-checked shirt with a simple black tie, which helped even out the craziness. Robert Downey, Jr. rocked the event with a sleek slim-cut midnight-blue ensemble, worn with an attractive white satin tie. Best Supporting Actor winner Christian Bale, opted for a black-on-black formal wear that was personalized with a black tie.
