What are the parts of a tuxedo?

Answer 1

A tuxedo is a formal evening suit distinguished primarily by satin or grosgrain facings on the jacket's lapels and buttons and a similar stripe along the outseam of the trousers. The suit is typically black or midnight blue depending on choice of wear and commonly worn with a formal shirt, shoes and other accessories. These accessories have evolved over time. The most traditional interpretation of these elements - formal shirt, formal waistcoat or cummerbund, bow tie, formal shoes - is incorporated in the black tie dress code. By the 1970s unorthodox variations were becoming popular alongside equally unorthodox tuxedos, particularly among younger men renting their formal attire rather than purchasing it. Since that time, people unconcerned with convention have opted for shirts that range from coloured to mandarin collared, and for neckwear ranging from coloured bow ties to continental ties to long ties.
