Let a little shirt cuff show below your jacket sleeve.

Roughly a finger's width of cuff looks deliberate; if the sleeve swallows the cuff entirely, the jacket sleeve is probably too long.

Who puts this site together

Daylight has the last word on my outfit, so before heading out to anything that begins ahead of sunset, I look myself over at a window. Oliver H. Corwin is just a pen name, but that habit is mine; the paid craft of professional styling is not. Try on a rented tuxedo at pickup, while a size swap is still possible. Write to [email protected] about a misread dress code, since I'd rather fix it than leave it up.
