Tuxedo Jacket with velvet skirt
Hi all,
I own the linked tuxedo jacket, and I was considering styling it with a velvet floor length skirt (example also linked) for an upcoming black tie party. Also black velvet loafers and a satin bow tie.
Are there any things I should note? I'm waffling on whether or not I'll need a cummerbund or not.
I'm 6'4, if that makes a difference.

I would just avoid buying clothes on Amazon as much as possible
If you can find a way to look in person, it’d be a lot better if you could match the velvets
Imo cummerbund would help with the look but maybe not necessary
I was thinking that the cummerbund would help in case the velvets weren't close enough
I almost exclusively avoid Amazon, but this has returns, and I'm not entirely sure where I'd find a velvet skirt in Seattle
yeah it will be a tough item to find ngl. There are some great vintage shops along the ave and in cap hill that might have something. If you have the time/money for a day trip, hawthorne st in pdx also has really good vintage
Unfortunately a trip to PDX is not on the cards before January. My big concern is that a vintage shop will not have anything tall enough for me.
I'll take a gander though.
