about Men's Tuxedos
The
tuxedo has always been considered as
formal wear. The tuxedo consist of
a jacket plus trousers with accessories like a formal
shirt, waistcoat, cummerbund and bow tie and formal
shoes to go with it. There are a variety of styles in
tuxedos.
Unlike
conventional fashion which changes all the time, tuxedo
styles seem to have stood the test of time. Is there
really any way to improve on perfection?
Most
tuxedos
come with matching trousers. There are four styles in
which it comes – single or double breasted with
peaked lapels with a facing in grosgrain on the lapel.
There is also the single or double-breasted shawl collar,
which comes with either satin or grosgrain on the facing
of the lapel.
The
tuxedo shirt comes in a range of styles.
The white-winged collar tuxedo shirt
is more formal. It comes with stiff pique and
single cuffs. The other style is considered less formal.
However, it is also more comfortable with a turned down
collar with a pleated front and double French cuffs.
Trousers
for the tuxedo
need to have a natural taper and follow the shape of
the leg. The bottom of the trouser should always
be plain – no cuffs – and should break on
top of the shoe. Each trouser leg should have
a satin braid – this however has become optional.
These days pleated trousers have been gaining preference,
however one must ensure that the folds of the pleats
should open towards the center. The waist band must
never be exposed.
Since
it is mandatory that the waistband of the trousers should
not be exposed, it is important to wear a vest pr a
cummerbund. The neck tie is in a bow shape and
its texture should always match the facings on the lapels
i.e. either satin or grosgrain. The bow should
be either in black or midnight blue and always be hand
tied. It should not be larger than a medium butterfly
or narrow like batwings.
In
tuxedo
shoes too there are two choices. One is the ‘pump’
which is a low-cut slip-on made of patent or matte-finish
leather with a dull ribbed silk bow in front. The other
is a ‘patent-leather oxford’ which is a
plain-toe lace-up shoe made with thin soles and a small
toe.
Tuxedo
is not truly complete without right selection. A tuxedo
package offers a unique stylish look for man’s
personality. Man’s formal wear available for rental
or purchase, include shirts, shoes, men's formal wear
vests, men's formal wear ties, pants.
