Formal Evening Sock 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.

Grosgrain faille is a distinctive fabric recognized for its ribbed appearance and lustrous finish. This particular type of fabric is crafted utilizing a plain weave technique with heavier yarns, creating subtle horizontal ribs which give the material its characteristic texture.

In the realm of Black Tie menswear, grosgrain faille plays an essential role in elevating the sophistication and elegance of formal attire. It is most commonly employed in the crafting of lapels on tuxedo jackets, where it contrasts subtly with the smoother fabric of the jacket itself, providing a visual and textural distinction that helps to define the garment's silhouette and contribute to its refined aesthetic.

Additionally, grosgrain faille is utilized in the creation of other Black Tie accoutrements such as bow ties and cummerbunds for formal trousers. The fabric's resilience and slightly matte sheen make it a preferred choice for these items, as it holds its shape well and avoids drawing undue attention, thereby adhering to the understated yet polished ethos of Black Tie dress code.

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.
