Any man's wardrobe is never complete without a tuxedo in it. Tuxedos have long been the luxury ones of the men's fashion garments and held the spot firmly all through the years of the fashion changes. Be it any formal events like black tie events or weddings or even some formal gatherings like award shows the guests and the hosts are mostly required to wear a tuxedo so that it showcases the luxury and sophistication of the party that you are attending or hosting. The tuxedo like many other men's wear garments has an interesting history that is fun to hear. Before the advent of the tuxedos the men were known to wear jacket with tails for the most formal events. While the traces of tuxedo have been in history since 1865, the golden moment at which the it gained the major attention was in 1887 when Griswold Lorillard decided to wear a tailless jacket to a formal gathering in what is now called the Tuxedo park in New York. The style soon picked up especially among the younger generation who were bored of the routine styles.

Keeping aside the history the truth is that the tuxedos have managed to stay unchanged in design over more than a century. Till date there is no other garment in men's fashion that can replace the elegance of the tuxedos and thus we may safely conclude that the tuxedo fashion is never going out in the near future. Now if you are thinking of getting a tuxedo then the main thing you will have to consider is the fit and the color of the tuxedo. As always the fit of the tuxedo should be perfect so that the elegance of the outfit is maintained which an ill fitting one can completely ruin in a second.

As for the color of the tuxedo, it may be best for you to go with the classic option of black tuxedo with white shirt if you are getting your first set. This is the best foolproof choice and can work out under any circumstances. The black tuxedo gives a royal and classic look that is timeless. The main difference between the suit and the tuxedo is the facings on the lapel of the tuxedo jacket. The lapels in the tux jacket are faced with materials like grosgrain or satin and the same material runs in stripes along the sides of the tuxedo's trouser legs. As for the lapels most go with peak lapels since they are more formal than notch lapels. In tuxedos you have the additional option of shawl collars which look great for special occasions like award shows and weddings since they look dressier than the previous options.

Now if you already have a black tuxedo or not exactly the black tuxedo type then it may be best for you to branch out to different colors that would suit your needs in dressing up. As said before you would need tuxedos only for special events like weddings, evening parties and if you are a celebrity then for award shows. So if you are bored of the formal black tuxedo look then there are many exciting options of tuxedo colors to choose from. Midnight blue is the next best color choice when it comes to tuxedos. They also have long been in history and at one stage preferred more by the people when compared to black tuxedos. This was because of the fact that they look royal and beautiful under the artificial lighting of the evening events and sometimes look blacker than black. Also the sheen of the rich blue make you look distinct in the sea of black tuxedos. Blue tuxedos with black lapels is a good contrasting choice when to go with a distinct look. Blue on the whole is good choice and if you are the person who likes to stick with basics while dressing up you can go with darker shades like navy blue and dark blue tuxedos but if you are willing to experiment and not mind being the centre of attention then you can go with lighter and brighter shades of the garment like baby blue tuxedos, royal blue tuxedos, powder blue tuxedos and sky blue tuxedos.

Another obvious event that requires tuxedos is the weddings. Mostly the groom and the groomsmen are dressed in the tuxedos and black tuxedos here may be a good choice if the wedding is a very formal one. But if the wedding is set in summer or it is a outdoor wedding then the options for you are numerous. Lighter and brighter colors look good under natural light and thus in turn makes for good photos. Some of the best choices for the summer setting are burgundy tuxedos, dark red tuxedos, emerald green tuxedos, hunter green tuxedos, mauve tuxedos, light blue tuxedos, light pink tuxedos, wine color tuxedos and charcoal grey tuxedos. Another color that looks great with wedding tuxedos is the white and off whites. They make for good pictures and thus you can select shades of the garment like cream tuxedos, tan tuxedos, beige tuxedos, ivory tuxedos, off white tuxedos and simply full white ones. You can try out various color combinations of shirts with the white tuxedos and ones that work great are light blue shirts, burgundy and light pink ones.
