Inspiration Runway: Cummerbund made of leather and velvet at Balmain.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The cummerbund<\/strong> is a waist sash or waist belt worn around the belly. Traditionally the cummerbund is a part of the elegant men’s wardrobe and is worn instead of a tuxedo vest to a single row tuxedo jacket. It is colour-coordinated with the bow tie and the handkerchief and is part of the correct black tuxedo suit – hence the English term Black Tie for the tuxedo.<\/p>\n

How do you wear a cummerbund?<\/h2>\n

The cummerbund is worn around the waist and covers the waistband. It is usually closed in the back with a metal buckle or mother-of-pearl buttons and adjusted with a wide elastic band. The folds of the cummerbund always point upwards so that there is room for cards, tickets or banknotes.<\/p>\n

When do I wear the cummerbund?<\/h2>\n

The cummerbund is often worn at weddings. The cummerbund goes especially well with wedding suits and can be matched in colour to the bride’s accessories. The chic belly band can also be used for elegant garden parties, captain dinners on cruises and other special festivities.<\/p>\n

Why is it called cummerbund?<\/h2>\n

The cummerbund was probably brought to Europe by British soldiers from India in the middle of the 19th century. The sash from India replaced the vest under the jacket for officers and was a pleasant alternative in the tropical climate.
\nThe silk waistband of the Indians, the so-called kamarband<\/strong>, (hip belt) then became the English word cummerbund<\/strong> (also cumberbund) and in German Kummerbund<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
