Few garments are as difficult to make a decision on as a tuxedo jacket. Tuxedos are obviously for very formal occasions, and choosing the proper one for the event you're attending can be maddening. Below are some tips on how you can choose the proper tuxedo jacket the next time a formal event arises:
- In the summertime, specifically at garden parties, it is not unusual to find white tuxedo jackets matched with traditional-colored accessories. However, you should keep in mind that black or dark blue jackets are the norm, especially for indoor affairs.
- You want to choose a jacket made of lightweight material. Doing so will help you remain cool and comfortable while you're dancing and moving around the room to socialize with various people.
- Be sure that you choose a jacket that is appropriate for the occasion. For instance, a tuxedo with tails should be worn only at the most formal of occasions, so it would be a mistake to wear a jacket like that to a simple party or ceremony. Double- and single-breasted dinner jackets are the types that are worn at most formal events.
- You want to make sure you choose a jacket that fits you properly and accentuates your build. Avoid jackets that fit too loosely or too tightly.
- Choose either shawl or peak lapels, as they are the only lapels appropriate for formal dinner jackets.
It's also never a bad idea to ask someone who is attending the same event you are attending what sort of tuxedo jacket they plan to wear. You don't want to copy someone else's wardrobe to the tee, but it never hurts to have an idea what types of jackets others are wearing so that you don't choose something that will make you look foolish or out of place.

What button do you leave open on a tuxedo?
The rule of thumb for not only a tuxedo but any men's suit jacket, dress/dinner jacket or sport coat is that you never, ever, ever, button the bottom button. A tuxedo jacket is commonly constructed with two button or a single button and you may also run across a three button tuxedo jacket which is slightly less popular and also, now a days; the double breasted tux is back in style. Now let me explain which button to leave open for each style of jacket: 1. Two button tuxedo jacket: Leave the bottom button open 2. Three button tuxedo jacket: Leave the bottom button open. If you're wearing a vest under your jacket, then you may also leave the top button open but that's not mandatory, just personal preference. 3. Single button tuxedo jacket: Only unbutton your jacket when you're seated otherwise, keep the single button, buttoned at all times. 4. Double Breasted tuxedo jacket: unbutton the bottom button. Now having said that, although it's ill-advised; a double breasted jacket is the only jacket where if you absolutely wish to do so, you can button the bottom button without making it appear as though you're making a big style mistake. In other words; it's not as bad as buttoning the bottom button of a two or three button jacket.
