Tuxedos for Formal Excellence

What is Black Tie Dress Code?

Attending an event with a Black-Tie dress code? There can be a lot of confusion surrounding this term and how to dress yourself to the appropriate formal standard. To make it simple; if you see ‘black tie’ on your invitation then think ‘James Bond’, this is the easiest way to ensure you will not be underdressed.
A tuxedo has a clear separation from a lounge suit. The defining feature of the tuxedo or formal suit is the presence of satin or silk details on the suit. This detail is usually seen on the lapel or collar of the suit but can also be found on the pockets, trouser waistband and/or side seam.
Finally, the tuxedo is usually on the more conservative side of the colour spectrum and will generally be constructed from a black or dark navy fabric.

Our Recommendations

We generally recommend booking your hire tuxedo a couple of weeks in advance. However, through our efficient processes and ample holding stock, hiring with us is made simple and can be arranged in as little as two business days.
We take ‘making it easy’ one step further with our most popular suit hire package, coined ‘The Gala Hire Package’ which provides you with all you will need for your next formal event (shoes additional).
Naturally, hiring a suit does place a limit on your fitting alterations; however, with our wide selection of brand and cut options, you can rest assured one of our highly trained stylists will perfectly pair a tuxedo to your build/size to ensure that you get the ‘James Bond’ experience.

Investing in a Tuxedo

If you are after a staple and timeless piece in your wardrobe which will cover you for all your formal events; then purchasing a quality tuxedo is the option for you. Our diverse product range accommodates for all budget types to ensure everyone can acquire a quality garment.
Generally speaking our advice when purchasing a tuxedo is to opt for a more comfortable fit in order to allow for weight fluctuations over time. This does not mean buying an ill-fitting suit but rather one that is comfortable in the chest and shoulder line which tapers (slims) through the stomach. For the trousers, we recommend keeping comfort in the thighs and seat but allowing for a slimming through the lower leg.
Adhering to this advice allows you to achieve a fitted look but remain comfortable during all black-tie occasions whether seated or standing.
