<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>The Tailcoat<\/p><\/div>
The tailcoat \u2013 considered the king of formal menswear \u2013 embodies timeless elegance and exquisite refinement.<\/strong> It is the official choice for the most formal occasions and is typically indicated by the \u201cWhite Tie\u201d dress code on invitations.<\/p>\nAs a general rule: A tailcoat should be worn after 6 p.m. \u2013 or more precisely, after nightfall. <\/strong>A classic tailcoat ensemble includes:<\/p>\n\n- a black top hat<\/strong><\/li>\n
- a white piqu\u00e9 waistcoat<\/strong><\/li>\n
- a white tailcoat shirt with a piqu\u00e9 front<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Also essential are:<\/p>\n
\n- a white bow tie<\/strong><\/li>\n
- black patent leather shoes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
One important detail: no wrist watch is worn with a tailcoat<\/strong>. Instead, a pocket watch with it\u2019s chain kept in the waistcoat pocket is considered appropriate.<\/p>\nThe tailcoat ranks at the top of formal attire and is reserved exclusively for evening events<\/strong>. The tailcoat jacket features peaked lapels and the characteristic swallow tails at the back. The front is cut short at the waist and the jacket is always worn open.<\/p>\nTailcoat trousers are adorned with two silk stripes (gallons) down the outer seams and are worn without a belt \u2013 instead, braces are used. The special tailcoat shirt features a stiffened piqu\u00e9 front, detachable studs or screw buttons, and a wingtip collar<\/strong>. The white waistcoat and bow tie are both made from cotton piqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>The Tuxedo<\/p><\/div>
The tuxedo or dinner jacket, often indicated as \u201cBlack Tie\u201d on invitations, is the perfect choice for social events held after 6 p.m<\/strong>. As the so-called \u201csemi-formal evening suit,\u201d it is the evening counterpart to the Stresemann and ranks one level below the tailcoat.<\/p>\nThe term \u201ctuxedo\u201d originates from its early use as a smoking jacket in gentlemen\u2019s lounges. In the United States, it is commonly known simply as a tuxedo<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\nA classic tuxedo ensemble consists of:<\/p>\n
\n- Jacket<\/strong>: a mid-length, single- or double-breasted jacket without back vents, featuring one button closure and a peaked lapel (or shawl collar), usually faced with satin or silk. The pockets are piped.<\/li>\n
- Trousers<\/strong>: made from the same fabric as the jacket, without belt loops, and with a single satin galloon on the outer seams.<\/li>\n
- Shirt<\/strong>: white, with either a wing or turndown collar, French cuffs, and a concealed button placket.<\/li>\n
- Accessories<\/strong>: a black bow tie and a cummerbund made of silk satin to cover the waistband.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The tuxedo is a stylish and formal evening suit \u2013 ideal for elegant nighttime celebrations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
