THE LOOK: MR PORTER ACNE EVENING WARDROBE COLLABORATION

The fit, fabric and colour are all vital ingredients to a well balanced look. Mr Jonny Johansson, creative director of ACNE, has spent months developing an evening wear capsule collection. The look is a complete evening wardrobe but all the components work as separate pieces as well, lending to the Swedish tradition of making both stylish and functional clothes.

Subtly textured and patterned, this Acne bow tie is a lesson in after-dark elegance. It has been crafted in England using fine silk woven on a specialist jacquard loom, giving it a unique depth of colour. Contrast it against the satin lapels of your tuxedo for maximum impact. Designed exclusively for MR PORTER £70 mrporter.com

Swedish brand Acne translates its cool, understated aesthetic into formal attire with this white tuxedo shirt. Tailored from a lightweight cotton and silk-blend for a slim fit, this piece has an unimpeachably elegant appearance and smooth feel. Completed with the traditional pleated bib front, its concealed placket will work particularly well with a velvet bow tie. £230 mrporter.com

Acne’s founder, Mr Johnny Johansson, is of the opinion that with the tuxedo ‘everything becomes elegant’. This slim-fitting, double-breasted blazer more than proves his point, in rich burgundy-hued velvet with broad, peaked satin lapels, it is a triumph in suave style. Keep your accessories understated for an effortless finish. £470 mrporter.com

You can always rely on Acne to offer understated yet sophisticated pieces, and its evening attire is no different. These tapered-fit tuxedo trousers, designed to be worn with the matching jacket, feature side satin stripes and have been tailored from a wrinkle-resistant blend of mohair and wool. Patent-leather shoes will bring out the refined detailing. £280 mrporter

A black Swaine Adeney Brigg umbrella with detachable Malacca wooden handle and end, and metal tip and ring at the handle. Handcrafted in England from the finest materials, this is an umbrella that will protect you for years, as much on your journeys around the world as those around town. £235 mrporter.com

Inspired by dapper browline opticals made popular in the 1950s, Bottega Veneta reworks the classic style for a modern audience with these tortoiseshell D-Frame sunglasses. The discreetly cross-hatched bridge is a subtle nod to the label’s renowned intrecciato weaving technique, while the screw-detailed arms lend a contemporary touch. Slip yours on with a chambray shirt for an air of retro sophistication. £355 mrporter.com
