The Top Men's Tuxedos

A well-fitted tuxedo is one of the most powerful garments in existence — and knowing how to wear one with confidence is a skill worth developing. The modern tuxedo has evolved beyond the rental mindset: it's a wardrobe investment that pays dividends at every black-tie occasion for decades.

Why It Endures

  • Destination weddings and formal events have driven more men to invest in owned tuxedos rather than rental
  • The slim-lapel, trim-silhouette tuxedo has made the garment genuinely wearable and contemporary
  • Velvet dinner jackets have extended the tuxedo's versatility into cocktail and festive contexts
  • The option to wear tuxedo trousers with casual tops has created a new styling vocabulary for the piece

What to Look For

  • 1Peak lapels in satin are the most formal and traditional; shawl collar is more contemporary and photogenic
  • 2The satin stripe down the trouser leg should match the lapel material exactly — mismatched finishes read as rental
  • 3Black patent leather or cap-toe oxfords are the correct footwear; velvet slippers are the alternative for seated dinners
  • 4A bow tie tied by hand always reads as more confident than a pre-tied clip-on — learn to tie it
