With the Tatler Ball just around the corner, we discover what some of our society's most stylish men are focusing on in their preparation to look their best for the big day.

The Tatler Ball is just around the corner now. Our dedicated microsite has gone live to help us document the journey better.

We’ve shared some gown inspirations, some jewellery ideas and even suggestions on how the ladies can do their makeup. We haven’t forgotten about the gentlemen. 

If our men’s accessories guide wasn’t in depth enough for you, let’s hear it straight from the mouths of some of our society’ most stylish men on how they are preparing for the big day. Here's what each of them are focusing on in their preparation to look the best.


Casmad Sanuri

"For me it’s my hair. We can’t do much as men, only our hair. I have my regular stylist, but I will go for a quick trim before the ball."


Datuk Kelvin Tan

"I think a jacket is very important to a man's look. I’m going to wear a jacket from Dolce & Gabbana’s latest collection. I got it from London, specifically for the ball."


Ferhat Nazri

"It depends on my mood. If I have to name one item to focus on, it'd be my tux. I’d probably go with trousers that stand out or a unique bowtie to distinguish myself."


Jovian Mandagie

"I’m a shoe person. When I am going for any occasion, I think first of shoes. Everything else has to work around my shoes. My favourite would be Louboutins – I’m going to pick up a new pair to go with my new tuxedo. Givenchy gave me a new tuxedo upon hearing that I was going to the Tatler Ball."


Quintin Tan

"I try to make sure I don’t clash with whoever I’m going with, that’s the most important thing. My diamonds are my most important accessories – I can’t go without them. My earrings, my rings, my cufflinks, that's how I stand out in the little ways."


Raymond Choon

"I’m going to stand out with my bow-tie. I’m skinny so I always like avant-garde pieces. I can’t wear something normal, I will look very boring since I don’t have the build. I always try to wear unique accessories to enhance my overall look."
