Classic Men’s Tuxedos: A Wardrobe Essential
by Cindy Guerra 10+ Years Experienced BloggerFashion is something that keeps
evolving with time. New trends are unfolded, new styles are embraced and the
old ones are forgotten. However, it is interesting to note that there are some
attires that do not go out of style, they are simply timeless! Coming to men’s
fashion, tuxedos are ensembles that continue to be a favorite choice among men.
These are extremely versatile and can be worn on formal, casual and even
festive occasions. In earlier times, a black tuxedo made of worsted wool used
to be a fashion staple. But over the years, other colors and fabrics starting
emerging in the market.
The uniqueness of Tuxedos
One of the most striking features in
men’s
tuxedos are the lapels. The lapels are never designed with the same
fabric as the rest of the garment. A satin or a grosgrain facing is used.
Unlike other luxury suiting, tuxedos
have only one button. Similarly, they are crafted with a single vent or no
vent. The Tuxedo is incomplete without a waistband or a cummerbund. It makes
the look sleek and flamboyant. The tuxedo trousers are also stunning. The
fabric used in the lapels run down the out-seam. The trousers do not have belt
loops and the hems are devoid of cuffs this gives a smooth and sharp look.
Why do men opt for Custom
made Tuxedos?
Like any other outfit, fitting is
important for Tuxedos too. No matter what fabric you choose, what accessories
you wear, if the tuxedo doesn’t fit well it is likely to ruin the whole look.
There are various styles of tuxedos to suit different body types such as the
traditional fit, modern fit, and the slim fit.
Irrespective
of the style you choose, the most important thing is the fitting of the jacket
and the trousers. It shouldn’t be too tight or even too loose. The collar
should lay flat on the neck, without any gaps and bulges. The jacket sleeves
should ideally end with a small portion of your shirt sleeve being visible and
the pant must settle across the top of your laces.
The advantages of custom-made clothing are:
✓ Custom made clothing
enables you to tweak certain aspects like the neckline, length of the sleeves,
the body length etc.
✓ You have the liberty to
choose the fabric of your choice.
✓ You can add twists to
highlight your personal style.
