Tuxedo Suits

Welcome to Oxford's collection of Tuxedos or Dinner Suits for men. Tuxedos and Dinner Suits are descriptions for the same type of formal suit. If you receive an invitation to a Black Tie or Formal Event, then this is the garment you are expected to wear.

The word Tuxedo get its name from the New York state countryside enclave for the Manhattan elite Tuxedo Park, New York, while dinner suits are generally an English equivalent. It is thought that this style of formal suit for men, with satin lapels originated from England in 1865. Our Oxford Tuxedo’s or Dinner Suits are manufactured using Pure New Fine Australian Wool, the most sustainable fibre on the planet.

What's the difference between a suit and a tuxedo?

The use of satin is the main difference between a suit and a tuxedo. While both suits and tuxedos are meant for formal events, the latter tends to have satin on the lapels and on the side of the trousers. Classic tuxedo accessories include a self-tied bowtie and waistcoat, while suits are formal and yet informal in that sense. Long ties and cufflinks are now considered standard staples for tuxedos, besides a dinner jacket, a matched pair of pants, and formal shoes.

When you are choosing a tux, it essentially means that the event is a formal one and probably comes with a dress code. If the dress code says that you must wear a black tie, you should go for a bow tie. For more relaxed and personal events, you can go for a necktie. Wearing a necktie is pretty acceptable for most occasions.

When to wear a tuxedo?

Tuxedos are meant for formal events, also known as "black tie" events. If you have an invitation that it is a black-tie event, it essentially means that you are expected to wear a tux. Most such events happen in the evening, which is why parts of the tux are called dinner jackets, dinner shirts, and dinner pants. Tuxedos can be worn at weddings, especially evening weddings. When there is no dress code, it is safe to assume that a tux is a safe choice.
