Available Tuxedo Styles
By

Have you noticed that
on some websites you can purchase your own tuxedo
for just about the price you would pay for two
tuxedo rentals? So the next time you are in need of
a tuxedo you might want to think about purchasing
rather than renting. Go ahead and do your research
so you’ll know what you want and be ready to take
the plunge.
A complete tuxedo
ensemble includes a jacket, trousers, shirt, bow
tie, cuff links, studs, and a cummerbund or vest. If
you wear a vest, you do not wear a cummerbund. I
would suggest purchasing extra ties and cummerbunds
in colors and patterns for a more festive look for
any occasion.
Your classic
tuxedo, of course, is black but you have several
collar options from which to choose. You have the
notch lapel tuxedo jacket, the peak lapel tuxedo
jacket, the shawl lapel tuxedo jacket, and the
mandarin color tuxedo jacket. Personally I prefer
the classic notch lapel tuxedo jacket but it really
is a matter of choice. The shawl lapel gives the
body an elongated look so it has a slenderizing
affect.
You then have the
trousers in pleated and non-pleated with an
adjustable or non-adjustable waist band, all with a
satin stripe down the legs.
There is a great
selection of tuxedo shirts available. You have the
classic wing collar tuxedo shirt, regular collar
tuxedo shirt, mandarin collar tuxedo shirt, banded
mandarin collar tuxedo shirt, piped mandarin collar
tuxedo shirt and the list goes on and on.
The accessories are
endless. You have the band bow tie or one of the
newer contemporary style ties, the cummerbund or
button cover jewelry if you choose one of the
mandarin collar shirts. And, of course, the studs
and cuff links. Don’t forget to take a look at the
tuxedo vests. All accessories will be available in
an array of colors, patterns and styles. You’re sure
to find what you need to complete your ensemble.
Go on, be selective
and individualize your look. You have a lot of
styles, colors and patterns from which to choose.
Have fun and enjoy
your special occasion.
