Usually guids is right about these things, but if it's a formal black tie event, yes, you need a cummerbund.

If a tux sans cummberbund is good enough for James Bond, it is good enough for me.

He was wearing suspenders, though. (At least he was in Casino Royale).

But Bond also has worn notch lapel tuxedos, which is not considered proper by most traditionalists. Just because Bond wears something doesn't mean it's correct.

He was? I knew he was w/o cummberbund, but I couldnt remember if he had no suspenders, the only time I can remember seeing him w/o jacket is this scene:



but, I cant really remember.



PS...if Bond does it, of course it is correct... Although, I will say that this is a situation where being able to pull a certain thing off is going to make all the difference.
