Collar Tuxedo
Understanding Admired Types of Guys’ Attractive Tuxedos by Trevor Price
There are many different styles of men’s tuxedos – from the ultra-modern to the incredibly conservative. Each one serving a different function and appropriate for a different event. To learn more about the various types and styles of tuxedos, read on.
Traditional Tuxedo
Typically, a tuxedo (also known as a dinner jacket) is a black, wool suit. It’s single breasted and has either peaked or shawl collars. Depending on the style, you’ll see an inch-wide strip of satin running up the seams on the outside of the legs. The satin covering the lapels will match. Normally, a bow tie is worn.
English dinner jackets often only have one button, while American styles feature 2 to 3 buttons. This type of traditional tuxedo would be appropriate for any black tie or formal event. A traditional, black tuxedo is also typically only worn in the evening or at night and is not considered appropriate daytime wear.
Wearing Tails
Tails are extremely formal and typically only appropriate when attending a dinner with the Royal Family. The long tailcoat fashion is waning and rarely suited for most events. That said, if you’re invited to a “white tie” affair, then it’s expected that you will wear a black tailcoat with silk lapels.
The Morning Suit
Like tails, the morning jacket is formal, but it’s designed and intended for daytime wear. For example, an afternoon wedding is appropriate for this long jacket with a wide, forked tail. If you decide to wear a morning jacket to your wedding, you should change before the evening reception into a traditional dinner jacket.
The Waistcoat
A cummerbund is not a compulsory tuxedo accessory. Today, many contemporary styles depend on vests and waistcoats to add a splash of color or pizzazz to the traditional tux. Remember though, a waist coat is only intended for single-breasted jackets and should never be worn under a basic suit.
Contemporary and Modern Tuxedos
There are a number of new styles coming out for men’s formal wear – from Mandarin collars to buttonless designs. While they may be fashion forward and very cool, they are not always be appropriate for the event. Before you opt for a non-traditional tux, review the invitation and get a sense of the “feel” of the event.
Tuxedo Accessories
Often, men’s tuxedos are sold or rented with accessories such as top hats, scarves, canes, gloves and other items. These are rarely appropriate and often seen as a distraction and even detriment – not a fashionable move. So, stay away from the accessories and stick with a tuxedo look that’s clean, contemporary and stylish.
