Tuxedo

Formal men's fashion offers various chic suits, each with its own etiquette. A tuxedo is worn as evening wear and should not be worn before half past five in the afternoon to avoid breaking etiquette. A complete tuxedo consists of the dinner jacket, tuxedo trousers, and tuxedo shirt. The outfit is completed with the right accessories, such as bow ties and cufflinks. These components together ensure that your outfit not only looks stylish but also fully complies with the dress code.

A tuxedo is an outfit for special occasions such as galas, events, or other festive gatherings. For invitations with 'black tie', 'cravate noire', 'evening wear', or 'dinner jacket', it is expected that you appear in a tuxedo. This formal suit consists of a tuxedo jacket, matching trousers, traditional white tuxedo shirt with cufflinks, black patent leather shoes, a cummerbund, black bow tie, and white pocket square. A tuxedo is therefore much more than just a formal suit; it is a complete and specific dress code.

At a ‘black tie’ event, you naturally appear neatly according to the dress code in a tuxedo. A traditional white tuxedo shirt is an essential part of this formal suit. Although the shirt is often seen as a less important detail because it is less visibly noticeable, it makes or breaks the entire outfit. At GENTS you will find both complete formal suits and separate clothing items, including tuxedo shirts that fully comply with etiquette. It is also convenient to replace your tuxedo shirt if necessary, as shirts and trousers wear out faster than jackets.

Purchasing a neat tuxedo doesn't have to be difficult. At GENTS you will find a number of different complete sets and of course all parts of the tuxedo are also available separately. The sets are convenient when you don't own a tuxedo at all yet. For example, there is the basic tuxedo set with shawl collar or peak lapel. Is it a very luxurious party? Then it is definitely recommended to purchase a tuxedo deluxe set from GENTS. The tuxedo set consists of a tuxedo jacket, trousers, tuxedo shirt, and black bow tie. When you are looking for neat tuxedos, you are at the right place with GENTS.

The jacket of a tuxedo always has a classic satin collar. However, that is not the only characteristic of the tuxedo jacket. For example, the pockets of the tuxedo are also finished with satin. Of course, a tuxedo is not complete without matching trousers. Trousers worn with a tuxedo are always recognizable. The outer seam of the trousers is finished with a narrow strip of satin, called galon.

Complete the tuxedo with a traditional white tuxedo shirt, matching cufflinks, and long black knee socks. Moreover, it is traditional to wear a tuxedo with black patent leather shoes and, of course, the famous 'black tie', or black bow tie. If you want to go fully for the classic tuxedo style, also wear the cummerbund in combination with a white pocket square.

The tuxedos worn by gentlemen at, among other things, 'black tie' events can generally be divided into two groups. The difference between the types of tuxedos has to do with the way the collar is cut. One group consists of tuxedos with a shawl collar. The tuxedo in question is classically cut with a thicker collar that resembles a shawl. Hence the name 'shawl'. Generally, this tuxedo has a somewhat looser fit than the modern slim fit tuxedos.

Besides the shawl collar, there are also tuxedos available with a collar that tapers to a point. This variant most closely resembles the traditional jacket of a suit. However, the satin collar clearly indicates that it is a tuxedo jacket and not an everyday suit. The collar of a tuxedo is always made of classic satin. This applies to both the shawl collar and the pointed collar.

Every GENTS tuxedo shirt is made of excellent quality, ensuring better wearing comfort. These shirts come in various collar styles such as a flat collar, a Kent collar, or a father killer collar. They feature a concealed placket, cufflinks, and a pleated front. At GENTS, you will find a wide range of tuxedo shirts in various sizes and collars, including options for men with larger sizes or long arms. Stylish details like cufflinks and a self-tied black bow tie complete the outfit. GENTS also offers pre-tied ties for those who have difficulty tying them. At GENTS, you are in the right place for a complete and stylish tuxedo outfit.

During a special occasion, you naturally want to look impeccable, and that means dressing according to the desired dress code. For example, if it says ‘black tie’? Then you obviously appear in a neat tuxedo, complete with accessories. If no dress code is specified, you are always safe with a stylish dinner jacket. The right tuxedo accessories make your formal outfit perfect for any occasion. At GENTS you will find everything you need to participate in festive events in complete style. In addition to complete tuxedos, you can also order separate clothing items and accessories, such as matching bow ties and cufflinks.
