A cummerbund is an excellent addition to an outfit. It is a type of pleated fabric sash, often made from silk or velvet, Cummerbunds look very classic and sophisticated,

The cummerbunds that are worn today in Western countries are directly descended from the kamarband worn by gentlemen across South and East Asia. The name cummerbund is an Anglicised version of kamarband.

The kamarband “belt” originated in ancient Persia and has been worn across Asia ever since. The kamarband features in military uniforms as well as civilian attire. The cummerbund came into being in the 1600s when British military officers in colonial India adopted the style. The officers began wearing their cummerbunds as part of formal military attire, often for ceremonial parades and dinners.

As the cummerbund became more popular and widespread in the military uniform, it began to spread to civilian wear, too.

Today, cummerbunds are an entrenched accessory for formal events. They are regularly worn with dinner jackets, formal trousers, dress shirts and bow ties. A cummerbund is the ideal accessory for events such as award ceremonies, balls or formal dinners.
