- 3
Wrap the pleated cummerbund around your waist over the shirt, ensuring the pleats face upward, and fasten it securely in the back.

Clip or tie the matching colored bow tie snugly around the shirt collar.
- 5
Slip on the tuxedo jacket, leaving it unbuttoned to show off the ruffles and cummerbund.
