Complete the Outfit: Shirts, Shoes & Accessories
Shirts: a white dress shirt is the classic pairing — opt for a pleated or bib front with French cuffs for black-tie events. Browse Men's Formal Shirts.
Bow ties & neckwear: a black silk bow tie is the traditional choice for black tie. Complete the look with a pocket square and cufflinks. Explore Men's Formal Shirts and accessories to finish the outfit.
Shoes: patent leather or highly polished black Oxford shoes are the formal standard. For a touch of individual style at less strict black-tie occasions, black velvet loafers work well.
Fit Tip: How a Tuxedo Should Fit
The jacket shoulder seam should end at the point of the shoulder. The lapels should lie flat against the chest with no pulling at the button. Sleeves should fall so around half an inch of shirt cuff — and your cufflinks — are visible. Trousers should sit at the natural waist with the satin stripe running straight down the outside of the leg. If you are between sizes, size up and have the trousers taken in rather than the jacket — it is the simpler alteration.
Men's Tuxedos FAQs
What is the difference between a tuxedo and a suit?
A tuxedo is more formal than a regular suit. It features satin or grosgrain details on the lapels, buttons and trouser stripe, where a suit uses the same fabric throughout. Tuxedos are worn for black-tie events such as galas and evening weddings; suits cover everything from business wear to smart-casual occasions.
When should I wear a tuxedo?
Tuxedos are the standard dress code for black-tie events — weddings, galas, award ceremonies, evening parties and formal dinners. If an invitation specifies "black tie", a tuxedo is the right choice.
What shirt should I wear with a tuxedo?
Pair your tuxedo with a white dress shirt — ideally one with a pleated or bib front and French cuffs so cufflinks are visible. Browse Men's Formal Shirts for styles suited to evening wear.
Do I have to wear a bow tie with a tuxedo?
Traditionally, yes — a black silk bow tie is the correct pairing for black tie. For a more contemporary look, a slim black tie works for less formal occasions. Turtlenecks are sometimes worn with dinner jackets at fashion-forward events.
What shoes should I wear with a tuxedo?
Patent leather or highly polished black Oxford shoes are the classic pairing. For a touch of individuality, black velvet loafers work well with dinner jackets at parties and less strict black-tie occasions.
Can I wear a tuxedo to a wedding?
Yes — tuxedos are ideal for evening weddings and any ceremony with a black-tie or formal dress code. Classic black or midnight blue are the most versatile choices. If you are dressing a wedding party, explore coordinating styles in Boys Tuxedos.
What is the difference between a tuxedo and a dinner suit?
The terms are used interchangeably in the UK. "Dinner suit" is the more traditional British term; "tuxedo" is more commonly used in the US. Both refer to the same formal evening garment with satin lapel detailing.
What colours do men's tuxedos come in?
Black and midnight blue are the most formal and versatile options. Navy and dark burgundy are popular alternatives for weddings and parties where a little more personality is appropriate.
