Tuxedo Questions and Answers

The Question:

“Should I wear a tuxedo or a suit for my wedding? I seriously don’t even know the difference.”

– Cameron

The Answer:

I’m glad you asked. The primary physical difference between a tuxedo and a suit is the presence of satin. Typically tuxedos have satin facing on the lapels, buttons, pocket trim, and a satin side stripe down the leg of the trousers. Suits don’t incorporate any satin and usually have either plastic buttons or buttons faced with the same fabric as the coat (aka self buttons.)

As for the accessories, tuxedos are traditionally worn with bow ties and a vest or cummerbund, while suits are traditionally worn with a long tie, alone or with a matching vest. That’s not to say that you can’t wear a bow tie with a suit or a long tie with a tuxedo. You can. It’s just that the other way around is more common and traditional. Of course there are exceptions to every rule.
