When to Wear a Tuxedo

The term 'tuxedo' originates from the British smoking jacket, a coat men historically wore in between dinner courses for smoking, preventing the scent from permeating their attire. Another term is 'black tie,' referring to the dress code where men don a tuxedo. Nowadays, tuxedos are primarily reserved for festive occasions and formal events after 6 p.m. Think galas, dinners, or student parties. This positions the tuxedo as an essential in every gentleman's wardrobe. Elevate your tuxedo ensemble with additional accessories such as cufflinks and a handkerchief. Watches, however, are a no-go! For extremely formal galas, opt for a tailcoat. Interestingly, tuxedos are becoming increasingly popular at galas.

Components of a Tuxedo

• A matching pair of trousers with lustrous side seams.
• A black jacket with one-button closure and glossy lapels.
• A white tuxedo shirt
• Black bow tie.
• Black or white suspenders
• A black waistcoat if you wish to make it a three-piece suit.
• A cummerbund elegantly conceals the transition between your shirt and trousers.
• Optionally, you can wear white gloves with your tuxedo, although it's not obligatory.
• Black patent leather shoes.

What's the Difference Between a Tuxedo and a Tuxedo?

There's no difference: a tuxedo and a tuxedo are two names for the same formal attire. The terms vary only by language and region. 'Tuxedo' is the common term in the Netherlands and many other European countries, while 'tuxedo' is the American term.

Can a Regular Suit be Worn as a Tuxedo?

No. A tuxedo features distinct details absent in a regular suit, such as satin lapels and silk trims on the pant legs. Additionally, a tuxedo always requires a specific tuxedo shirt and a black bow tie. These components are crucial for the black tie dress code. A standard suit simply lacks the formal elegance and etiquette associated with a tuxedo.
