Part formal event, part halloween tradition: A cultured history + modern style guide to the quintessential Halloween party for the discerning modern gent -- the black-tie masquerade ball
Words + Graphics ~ By Lyle Eero ~ 17 October 2015
Decadent, luxuriously stylish, mysteriously intriguing, and captivatingly charming! Gents, I give you the (black-tie) masquerade ball. All-hallows-eve and the discerningly stylish gentleman…certainly not a match made in sartorial heaven by any means. And yet, if one were to delve far enough back into the annals of history they would find that — despite Halloween being a modern celebration wrought in kitschy (but amusing) cheap costumery — there are indeed examples of this most dark of holidays being celebrated with refined panache and ornate style. And the most sartorially flattering of them all…the worldly renowned masquerade ball. |
