Yes, a tuxedo is typically required for black tie events. The formal dress code specifies a black tuxedo jacket, usually with satin or grosgrain lapels, paired with matching trousers, a formal white shirt, a black bow tie, and often black patent leather shoes. While variations exist, adhering to the traditional tuxedo standard is generally expected to meet the black tie dress code.

What occasions require a tuxedo?
This is a great question as I'm sure that there are many people who are unsure as to which occasion calls for wearing a tuxedo. Firstly, a tuxedo is a super formal outfit meant to be worn during big occasions such as weddings, wedding receptions, prom night and other elaborate events such as a formal cocktail and particularly where the dress code is specified as "black tie" event. Now whereas a traditional suit (preferably two button) allows much more flexibility as to where and how one can wear this, with a tuxedo, your options are quite limited. A black suit accompanied by a white shirt, a black neck tie or bow tie can be worn at formal events where the dress code is NOT specified as "black tie". However, one may argue that wearing a black suit with a black tie at a "black tie event" should suffice; technically, that is correct but it's not the social norm and doing so, may be frowned upon by the host. Additionally, a traditional suit can also be worn at semi formal events, a dinner party, or even at a nice evening out with good company however, it's recommended that you don't wear a tie but that is a matter of personal preference.
