A tuxedo is a must-have in every man’s wardrobe. It has a timeless appeal for all black-tie occasions, which is why we’re turning to the Italian fashion house, Dolce & Gabbana, for this three-piece wool-blend tuxedo.The folks over there know exactly how to tailor a tux that will set you apart from the guys who don’t know how to buy the right one.
These are the six steps you need to follow in order to buy and style the perfect tuxedo:
Let’s start with the color: keep it classic and traditional. No one ever won a best dressed award for a purple tuxedo. Go with black.
Step two, choose the right size and opt for a slim silhouette with sharp shoulders and a proportional collar.
Skip the cummerbund and style your tuxedo with a traditional white tuxedo shirt. Styling your tux with a casual V-neck t-shirt is a good idea—if the party is in your sister’s garden and the evening’s meal is a bucket of fried chicken.
When going black-tie, always opt for a bow tie. As for a red bowtie—not a good idea.
Keep your cufflinks understated. No need to flash them, you’re already the man of the hour in your new tux.
Lastly, shoes—black patent leather. Always.
