Tuxedos
So gentlemen, that hot night has finally arrived! It doesn't
matter what occasion you are going to, any occasion that
requires a tuxedo is usually hot. Let's assume you are going to
the prom and you want to impress the ladies. Here are few tips.
Remember that the tuxedo is the height of formal dress wear for
a man, and knowing when to wear one and what type to buy or rent
can be a bit tricky. The first thing you need to do is refer to
your invitation as it will state what type of affair you are
invited to, whether it is a black tie, formal, black tie
required or black tie optional. You can be invited to the
opening night of the ballet, symphony or opera, and of course,
there is a formal dance or ball like the prom. You can also be
invited to a formal dinner part or reception or even dinner at a
formal restaurant where some folks consider dress very important.
A few tips in the style department won't hurt. Remember, buy
your tux for the quality garment it is. Renting will not give
you the quality you want. Stay traditional and avoid colorful
cummerbunds and socks, etc. Keeping it simple will give you the
most elegant look. Following the same rules when it comes to
buying a suit will serve you well, too.
Remember, double-breasted styles look best on men that are
trimmer while single button styles will flatter the most.
Remember, no clip on ties. Tie it yourself or get the formalwear
salesperson to do it for you. Cummerbunds should match the
fabric on the man's jacket and the pleats should be face up.
Gentlemen, you are going to have many styles to choose from, so
go with your gut feeling on this. You will find single-breasted
peak (most traditional), double-breasted, shawl-collar
(flattering for heavier men), or the notched-collar, and
finally, the three-button style. Have fun and enjoy this
fabulous occasion, whatever it may be!
