In terms of construction, a tuxedo jacket is the same as any suit. And sizing and fit considerations remains the same. Opting for a notched lapel would be unwise as this look is usually just too casual for a tuxedo. Just slightly less dressy than the shawl is the peaked lapel , but both lapels will make for an awesome tuxedo. Regarding the closure, a tuxedo will always have one button when single-breasted and usually two buttons when double-breasted. And on the sleeves, no fewer than 3 buttons, if you ask me.
Two buttons will start to make the jacket look a little too sporty. Also, I should note that more often than not, buttons are covered in satin for a really dark look.
This is what you want for an elegant evening look. You have a couple of options on the choice of vent for the jacket. The most traditional route is to have no vent at all. This helps to create a nice and clean silhouette.
Alternatively, double vents are common. Finally, pockets should be jetted besom style for a smooth look. The dress shirt is an important part of wearing a tuxedo. In my opinion, a winged collar is a little out of style these days, although it is considered the most traditional option.
Then you have your choice of three different shirt styles: pleated, marcella , or textured. Today, most of us are wearing the more comfortable textured dress shirt. If the occasion is a little more creative and open-minded, you might be OK wearing a colorful bow tie, but black is the traditional pick. But a bow tie is the most traditional expression of wearing a dinner jacket. Sometimes a tuxedo pant will have a silk stripe down the side and sometimes not.
Pleats or flat front, wear whatever you feel good in. When wearing a tuxedo, always wear black shoes in a plain toe style.
This means no wingtips or brogue shoes. Personally, I think that a pocket square should always be worn with a jacket, albeit a suit or a tuxedo. For the latter, a crisp white pocket square will look great. Traditionally, either a waistcoat i. But today, we rarely see either and I think that it has become relatively acceptable black tie attire to not wear either one. The whole idea behind a vest or a cummerbund is to cover up the little bit of white dress shirt that may show below the jacket button.
Stick with something relatively basic like a beautiful navy or a midnight blue. While plaids can sure be fun, it would be a bit of a niche jacket, so you might not be able to wear it to many events after the intended one.
