A NEW YEAR IS COMING. BLACK TIE CLOTHING FORM IS ANNOUNCED IN THE INVITATION FOR CELEBRATION. MEAN, BE SURE THAT THE SPECIFIED DRESS CODE IN THE PROTOCOL OF THE EVENT IS A Tuxedo. WE WILL HELP TO CORRECTLY CHOOSE AN SUITABLE SUIT AND, MOST IMPORTANT, TO TEACH ALL THE DIFFERENCES OF THE IMAGE OF A REAL ARISTOCRAT. A tuxedo, or jacket-toxido, symbolizes the man’s belonging to a special layer of society and, in addition, speaks of the good taste of his master.
He first appeared in England, to please women. The fact is that at social events true gentlemen went into a separate smoking room, and so that the clothes would not be saturated with the smell of tobacco, men put on a special “smoking jacket” - smoking jacket. In high society, it was considered indecent to shake off the ashes of a cigar - it had to fall itself. So the tuxedo appeared lapels made of silk fabric - it is on this material that the ashes do not leave spots.
Tuxedo is a conservative type of clothing that emphasizes the solemnity and special importance of the event. He is willingly worn by stars to walk along the carpet, and officials - for evening receptions. In addition, there is nothing more aesthetically pleasing than a tuxedo for dinner in a good restaurant, a theater premiere and a wedding celebration.
This jacket is single-breasted and double-breasted, with an English collar or a shawl collar. The original style of the tuxedo is a single-breasted jacket, fastened with one button. The V-neck of such a jacket perfectly repeats the outlines of a male torso. Double-breasted versions of tuxedos appeared as a non-strict alternative to single-breasted in the 30s. They traditionally have four buttons and fasten only along the bottom row or along both rows depending on the cut.
Initially, tuxedos were sewn without cuts. However, later, for the convenience of men, suits began to be cut with cuts on the sides: it was more convenient to sit and easier to reach the pockets of trousers. In addition, the side cuts made the tuxedo not too narrow and stiff. In no case do not choose a suit with one cut on a tuxedo: in a men's wardrobe, such a designer gesture is related to sportswear - this is a kind of adaptation for riding.
In the Patrick Hellmann Collection, conveniently located in the Wafi Mall, specialists will help you build your image in accordance with the code of evening wear for men. What should I look for when choosing the perfect tuxedo?
First of all - on the figure and physique. Men of both tall and medium height, having a slender figure, can choose any style of tuxedo they like. However, thin men should opt for a double-breasted jacket. For tall men with a strong physique or a very muscular jacket with a shawl collar - an excellent choice. Such a tuxedo should be single-breasted and fastened with one button. If you are overweight, you can add a vest to the jacket - it will visually correct the figure. For short and stocky men, a single-breasted jacket with a low button is located, visually lengthening the torso.
The distinctive features of trousers from a tuxedo suit are silk stripes. Due to the fact that men's fashion is becoming more democratic, stripes are often missed, although with them the costume looks more elegant. The trouser belt should be closed with a special cummerbund sash, vest or double-breasted jacket, which will not allow the belt to be open.
The consultants at the Patrick Hellmann Collection store recommend wearing black trousers for a black jacket, navy for a navy blue, and only black or navy blue for white, but by no means white. Suspenders are allowed.
The tuxedo shirt is significantly different from the usual. Its main attribute is a stand-up collar with bent corners. The chest part of the shirt is decorated with a decorative part made by stitching folds. The tuxedo shirt should be white, preferably made of cotton, linen or silk. Gold, platinum or silver cufflinks look beautiful. As accessories, the classic bow tie and plastron (a kind of neck scarf) are unchanged. The most popular colors of butterflies are black, red, blue and white. It is important to know that only attendants wear black butterflies in combination with black vests at official receptions.
In a tuxedo, details are crucial. For example, in a classic suit, there must be a buttonhole on the left lapel of the jacket in order to place the buttonhole there. Mandatory handkerchief for a breast pocket. It is supposed to put on long black silk socks and classic black shoes with matte leather laces. By the way, according to etiquette, patent leather is selected for tailcoat, and shoes with sharp toes are not allowed. As an option, suede or velvet shoes without lacing have recently become popular.
It's time to go out! Remember: the main thing for a real gentleman is a subtle sense of humor and a great companion.
