The tuxedo dates back to the early 1800's. It originated with a coat with a long tail and usually was worn with a white tie. Today it is worn by men for most special occasions.

Full tails are generally for very formal and proper occasions, think English countryside wedding. It really depends on the occasion to which you will be wearing a tux and the time of day you will be wearing it as well. For instance, single breasted tuxedos tend to be for casual (daytime wear) and double breasted tuxedos tend to be for formal (night time) occasions. In terms of color for a day time tux go with gray and for night time always wear black.
