Tuxedo Styles

Tuxedo styles have changed from the early days of white tie and tails to the current tailless dinner jacket. Tuxedos have been the appropriate dress for special occasions since the 1800s. Known to exude elegance and style, a tux can make a wedding, fundraiser, or other formal occasion a real event to remember.

While the tux may be elegant in concept, tuxedo styles and body shape must be appropriate for the best appearance. For instance, if you're short and thin, your best selection will be a single-breasted jacket with long lines to elongate the body. If you're short and stocky, tuxedos with slim collars will enhance your appearance.

Matching Tuxedo Styles with Body Build
On the other hand, if you're tall and husky, you should consider tuxedo styles with a shawl collar and wear a shirt that has a lay-down collar and bow tie. Those gentlemen who are in the tall and slim category look well in about any style of tux. Regardless of your build, make sure the jacket comes to the proper length and allows the shirt sleeve to extend between a quarter and a half inch beyond the coat sleeve. In addition, choose a shirt collar style and tie to complement your body style.
