Mens Tuxedos

It may not happen often, but you better be prepared when it does. It's a formal event and the invitation says proper attire only. Don't fret, that just means that it's time for you to get yourself a mens tuxedo. Mens tuxedos are the only choice for formalwear for men. While ladies can wear any number of style gowns and dresses, for men you simply have to keep it in the world of Mens Tuxedos. Mens tuxedos these days are basically a mens suit that is usually black but can be either white or off white that has satin lapels, covered buttons and satin stripe trim going down the leg of the pants. They come in a number of styles from your single breasted models with either 1,2, or 3 button jackets. Tuxedos can be had in double breasted models as well as a shawl collar jacket which has a rounded lapel style without notch or peaks on it.

Mens tuxedos originated in England as the Dinner Jacket for men and the name tuxedo originates from the Tuxedo Park Club of New York in the 1880s originally worn by the Prince of Wales when he instructed one of his dinner guests to don a dinner jacket from Henry Poole & Co of London. When he wore the dinner jacket it became a huge hit at the Tuxedo Park Club and everyone started wearing them for dinner. Even though it was a dinner jacket, the name Tuxedo stuck. Back in those days there were very strict rules on how the proper gentleman dressed for dinner. You didn't get into a club if you were adorned incorrectly so it was important that if the invitation said Black Tie, you were wearing a Mens Tuxedo and that was that. Shop Here for Mens Tuxedos.
