SOUND FAMILIAR?

The line between formal and formal-ish

The invitation says one thing, you read another

Black tie, black tie optional, creative black tie, formal — they all sound similar, and getting it wrong means showing up in a suit when the room is in tuxedos.

Your tuxedo reads as a dark business suit

A regular necktie, a notch lapel that's missing the satin facing, a buckled belt — small details that quietly downgrade a tuxedo into "just another dark suit."

You try it on the day of the event

The jacket pulls at the shoulders, the trousers break too long, the studs sit wrong — and there's no time left to fix any of it before you walk out the door.

A loud detail breaks the silhouette

A decorative pocket square fold, a chunky watch, short socks at the ankle when seated — one wrong note pulls the eye away from a look that should be quiet and long.

 
WHAT'S INSIDE

Inside the checklist, 6 sections and 24 items

Confirm true black tie

Four checks that decode the invitation wording and tell you exactly when a tuxedo is required and when a polished suit will pass.

Build the formal base

Dinner jacket, formal trousers, dress shirt, bow tie, and patent or polished shoes — the non-negotiable elements that make the look read as a tuxedo, not a suit.

Check fit and formality

Shoulders, jacket close, trouser break, and waist treatment — the fit details that keep the silhouette long, clean, and quiet rather than fussy.

Formal details

Pocket square, socks, watch, outerwear — the small finishes that hold the formality together and the loud ones that quietly break it.

Before the event

Try the full tuxedo on at least a day early, run a comfort check, steam the shirt, and pack the small recovery kit so nothing surprises you on the night.

AI review prompts

Copy-ready prompts to stress-test the look with AI — formality check, business-wear tells flagged, accessory comparison, and a standing-versus-seated review.

What about customs?

We are not responsible for any custom fees once the items have shipped. By purchasing our products, you consent that one or more packages may be shipped to you and may get custom fees when they arrive to your country.

Do you provide tracking information?

Yes, you will receive an email once your order ships that contains your tracking information. If you haven’t received tracking info within 5 days, please contact us.

My tracking says “no information available at the moment”.

For some shipping companies, it takes 2-5 business days for the tracking information to update on the system. If your order was placed more than 5 business days ago and there is still no information on your tracking number, please contact us.

Will my items be sent in one package?

For logistical reasons, items in the same purchase will sometimes be sent in separate packages, even if you've specified combined shipping.

If you have any other questions, please contact us and we will do our best to help you out.

Returns

Order cancellation

All orders can be cancelled until they are shipped. If your order has been paid and you need to make a change or cancel an order, you must contact us within 12 hours. Once the packaging and shipping process has started, it can no longer be cancelled.

Refunds

Your satisfaction is our #1 priority. Therefore, you can request a refund or reshipment for ordered products if:

  • If you did not receive the product within the guaranteed time (45 days not including 1-3 day processing) you can request a refund or a reshipment.
  • If you received the wrong item you can request a refund or a reshipment.
  • If you do not want the product you’ve received you may request a refund but you must return the item at your expense and the item must be unused.

We do not issue the refund if:

  • Your order did not arrive due to factors within your control (i.e. providing the wrong shipping address)
  • Your order did not arrive due to exceptional circumstances outside of our control (i.e. not cleared by customs, delayed by a natural disaster).
  • Other exceptional circumstances outside of our control.

*You can submit refund requests within 15 days after the guaranteed period for delivery (45 days) has expired. You can do it by sending a message at support@sellvia.com

Exchanges

If for any reason you would like to exchange your product, perhaps for a different size in clothing, you must contact us first and we will guide you through the steps.

Please do not send your purchase back to us unless we authorise you to do so.

Refunds & Returns

In the event that your order arrives damaged in any way, please email us as soon as possible at support@sellvia.com with your order number and a photo of the item’s condition. We address these on a case-by-case basis but will try our best to work towards a satisfactory solution.
