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.

When it comes to formal events, every detail counts. It's not just about looking good—it's about feeling extraordinary. Enter the world of bespoke elegance with formal Black Tie shoelaces made from luxurious barathea, meticulously cut to a width of 1.5 cm or 3/5”. These are no ordinary laces; they are a proclamation of sophistication and an emblem of sartorial finesse.

Crafted from the finest barathea fabric, these shoelaces resonate with an air of exclusivity that complements your barathea bow tie or the sleek lapel facings of your tuxedo. The harmony between your accessories is paramount as it exudes a cohesive and curated aesthetic, elevating your ensemble to the pinnacle of formal wear. The decision to match your shoelaces with your bow tie or lapel facings isn't merely a choice—it's a statement.

These extremely rare, one-of-a-kind laces are more than just threads that hold your shoes together—they illustrate your dedication to the finer points of evening attire. In a world where details can speak volumes, let your laces be the conversation starter that tells a story of meticulous care and impeccable taste.

Rare and Wonderful Barathea Silk

Barathea fabric is a soft, finely ribbed material that is most commonly used in the construction of evening wear such as tuxedos and tailcoats. Originally made from silk, it is possible to craft other materials with this weave.

Barathea is characterized by its twill weave, which gives it a subtle diagonal texture. It is also known for its pebbly appearance and slightly lustrous finish, which adds depth and sophistication to garments.

Although once a popular fabric often employed in all manner of evening attire during the Golden Age of Menswear, barathea is increasingly rare today and therefore associated almost exclusively with the well-informed and well-dressed.

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.

What makes these formal evening shoelaces special?

Selecting formal evening shoelaces for Black Tie or White Tie events is about maintaining the integrity of your formal attire. Formal laces provide a seamless look that aligns with the sophistication of your evening attire, ensuring every detail reflects elegance. Coordinating your laces with your lapel facings or bow tie indicates an awareness typical only of those who truly treasure and understand the brilliance of formal evening dressing.

High-quality, formal shoelaces show that you pay attention to even the smallest aspects of your dress, which always makes a strong impression. Just as a tie or cufflinks can pull an outfit together, the right shoelaces complete the overall look, ensuring polish and poise.
