When and how to wear a tuxedo
There's no doubt that a tuxedo is the height of formal wear dressing for men. Knowing when to wear one and what type to buy or rent though can be a little trickier. Here's some help:
When to Wear a Tuxedo
* Wear a tux when the invitation states Formal, Black Tie, Black Tie Invited or Black Tie Optional
* Wear a tux to the opening of the opera, ballet or symphony
* Wear a tux to ball or formal dance
* Wear a tux to a formal dinner party or reception
* Wear a tux to dinner at a formal restaurant (some folks think you should be dressed at least as well as your waiter)
Style Tips
* Buy, don't rent for a quality garment tailored to fit you.
* Stay traditional and avoid colorful cummerbunds, socks, etc.
* Keep it simple for the most elegant look.
* Follow the same rules for buying a tuxedo as for a suit.
Double-breasted styles look best on trimmer men, while single button styles are the most flattering.
* No clip-on bow ties, tie it yourself (and get a formal-wear sale person to show you how)
* Cummerbunds should match the fabric on the man's jacket (and the pleats face up)
Style Choices
* Double Breasted
* Single Breasted Peak (the most traditional)
* Shawl Collar - flattering for heavier men
* Notched Collar
* Three-button
