Step into the season’s most exclusive events with a custom-made outfit from Tailor Made London
In the British social calendar, there are a few occasions where what you wear is almost as important as why you’re attending. From top hats and tails to black tie elegance, certain events call for sartorial excellence—and at Tailor Made London, we’re here to ensure you arrive impeccably dressed, every time.
Here’s our guide to the most stylish events in the UK that come with a formal dress code—and how we can help you rise to the occasion.
Royal Ascot – Timeless Tradition Meets Tailored Perfection
Dress Code: Morning dress (top hat, tailcoat, waistcoat, striped trousers) in the Royal Enclosure; suit or dress and hat in other enclosures.
Few events match the sartorial splendour of Royal Ascot. In the Royal Enclosure, morning dress is a must, and details matter—from the angle of your top hat to the cut of your tailcoat. Our bespoke morning suits are tailored to meet the event’s strict standards while adding a modern edge that reflects your personal style.
Whether you’re aiming for traditional grey or contemporary navy, our team can guide you through the complete outfit—from jacket and waistcoat to custom shirt and accessories.
Glyndebourne Festival – Opera Elegance in the Sussex Countryside
Dress Code: Formal evening wear (typically black tie)
The Glyndebourne Festival is as famous for its world-class opera as it is for its impeccable dress code. Think evening suits, bow ties, and polished tailoring, all set against a stunning country house backdrop. At Tailor Made London, we craft dinner suits and tuxedos that are anything but off-the-rack—made to measure, breathable, and built for comfort during long summer performances.
Add a shawl collar for a refined touch or go bold with a velvet dinner jacket for evening drama worthy of the stage.
Goodwood Revival – Vintage Style, Bespoke Craftsmanship
Dress Code: 1940s–1960s vintage (optional, but widely embraced)
Goodwood Revival is a celebration of classic motorsport and vintage style, where the fashion is just as much part of the spectacle. While not mandatory, dressing up is highly encouraged—and it’s the perfect opportunity for us to help you create a standout vintage-inspired suit that still fits like a modern dream.
From wide lapels to high-waisted trousers and heritage fabrics, we can work with you to recreate a tailored look from a bygone era, blending timeless flair with contemporary fit and function.
Black Tie Galas & Private Events – The Tailor Made Approach to Tuxedos
Dress Code: Black tie or creative black tie
Outside the headline events, black tie galas, weddings, and charity balls fill the calendar. A made-to-measure dinner suit ensures you’re never caught short. Whether you prefer a classic look or something with a bit more personality—contrast lapels, coloured linings, or a sleek midnight blue—we’ll design a tuxedo that turns heads and fits like a glove.
