How To Pick A Tuxedo Style

There are all sorts of tuxedo styles to choose from. People looking to buy a tuxedo can pick from double breasted tuxedos or single breasted tuxedos. They can also choose between three different lapel styles. One can even decide on how many buttons they want to have on their tuxedo as well as the color they want the tuxedo to be.

Folks that are purchasing a tuxedo for the first time can have some difficulty doing so. I wrote this article to give the new tuxedo purchaser some useful information on the tuxedo.

Firstly, the lapel styles are what really set each style of tuxedo apart. A fantastic characteristic of the tuxedo is that it can look completely different from similar models with a simple lapel change. There are three different types of lapels. The three kinds of lapels are the peak, shawl, and notch lapels.

The shawl lapel is the least formal and resembles the smoking jacket. Notched lapel tuxedos have lapels that are made just like a standard suit. Peaked lapels point out and up and are more formal than the other kinds of tuxedo lapels. Most people choose this type of tuxedo for their weddings.

You'll find that the most common button numbers are either one or two button tuxedo jackets. Some designers go wild and add up to six buttons on their tuxedos, but these are not typical. People buying a tux for the first time should stick to two and one button tuxedo models.

Colors of the tuxedo will vary, but invariably black is the most common. Midnight blue and black are your most traditional colors to choose from.

Jacket styles can vary between double and single breasted. Single breasted tuxedos do not overlap when buttoned while double breasted tuxedos do. You'll notice that older people seem to be the only ones still wearing double breasted tuxedos.

If you are looking for a safe tuxedo to purchase, you can't go wrong with the peak lapel, single breasted, single buttoned black tuxedo. Purchasing this tux ensures that you will have a tuxedo that is safe to wear anywhere.
