Shop by style tuxedo If you are up-to-date with the fashion news over the years you would have noted that one garment stays always in style in the ever changing fashion of men's garments. Yes we are talking about the tuxedos - the foolproof formal clothing. The tuxedos have long been in the history of the men's fashion and all through these years have managed to remain in style and that too as a standard formal garment. Regardless of the age or the class the tuxedos is for everyone and it is one of the easiest way to dress up without exerting too much.

We always recommend that every man should own atleast one set of tuxedo in his wardrobe. Be it for any formal event - family weddings, black tie events, evening parties or even for award shows the tuxedos are the best choice for dressing up. Since the tuxedo is a standard style you will just have to don on the garment properly and you are ready to go. There is no fretting about what to wear and what is appropriate. There is also an option of renting out a tuxedo but the fit is what is most important and therefore it may be best that you get your own.

Now if you are thinking of getting a tuxedo then there are a few points you will have to note. First of all there are numerous styles in the tuxedos as in any other men's garments. Therefore you will have to know about them and then select the one that fits your body and taste. As for the basic classification, like the suits the tuxedos also have single breasted and double breasted styles although the double breasted tuxedos are rarer than the former style. As for the traditional pick the tuxedos are black and the shirt is white but there are other colors of tuxedos available too. If for strictly formal events it may be best to go with black and white tuxedo but for less formal events like weddings or proms you can select other colors like midnight blue and grey. There are many different colored ones like the gold tuxedos, champagne tuxedos and even silver tuxedos. To don on these types you will have to carry it with confidence since you will for sure garner attention among the mass of black and white tuxedos.

Now as like suits the tuxedos also come in three piece and two piece. In the three piece versions you will have a tuxedo vest along with the shirt or as a alternative to vests a cummerbund. The major purpose of a vest or a cummerbund on a tuxedo is to hide the shirt material from showing when the tuxedo jacket is buttoned. This gives a streamlined look which is the best when it comes to formal clothing. The wearing of vest or cummerbund is especially important for short people to create a proper look from shoulder to toe without breaking the line.

As for the changes in the details of the tuxedo one of the major detail change is the number of buttons on the tuxedo jacket. This detail is important when it comes to creating the perfect look for your body type. If you are a short person then you will need to go with one button styled jackets since the V line in the neck is plunging deep in the single button style and therefore it creates a tall look. But at the same time if you are a very tall person then you can go with four button style since the V plunge is less deep here and therefore it creates a balanced look. If you are anywhere between the short and tall, then you can go with two button or three button tuxedos. It may be best to try on different styles and select the one that suits you properly.

Now another detail that is of importance in the tuxedo style is the collar or the lapels on the tuxedo jacket. This is important because this is the major difference between the suit and the tuxedo. If you see the lapels or collars on the jacket faced with satin or grosgrain then it means it is a tuxedo. So it is important that you select the right kind of collar. Most of the time the tuxedo comes with the peak lapels but if you want a more casual dressy style then you can go with shawl collared tuxedos. There are even mandarin banded tuxedos but the basic thing is that you will have to select the one that matches the type of event that you are attending. For example if you are attending a very formal event like the black tie event the go with peak lapels but if for events like award ceremonies or weddings you can go with shawl collars.

Other than going for the traditional styles of tuxedos you can go with dressing up like your favourite stars in red carpets or in your favourite films. One of the best adaptations of tuxedo is by the famous character of James Bond and the tuxedos he wears through the film looks great on him. So you can observe the styles like this and then get the tuxedo costumes available in the stores or better yet in the online stores.

The tuxedo styles we have now are the ones modernised but there are still vintage style tuxedos available. You can see cowboy tuxedos and tuxedos with tails. Apart from being the most formal men's garment you can also have your fun with tuxedo. There are many tuxedos that are in par with fashion like shiny sharkskin tuxedos, western tuxedos, tuxedo blazers, tuxedo short suit, cutaway tuxedos, camouflage tuxedos. As for the fit of the tuxedo it is always advisable to go with slim fit tuxedos since you are wearing these garments for a special occasion and that means you will have to go with your best look.
