Do you wear a cummerbund and suspenders with a tuxedo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That is the only way to wear a tuxedo properly! The suspenders (braces) are buttoned in an they help the pants (trousers) hang correctly. The cummerbund should be worn semi-tight and with pleats up. It is put on after the braces are in place and it covers the waistband. If you choose to wear a vest, you should also wear braces even though they will be hidden.

What are the occasions for a man to wear a black suit vs. tuxedo?

Asked by Wiki User

The key phrase to understand about your question in order to give you a useful answer is "black suit vs. tuxedo".

This is a great question as I'm sure that you're not the only one who has this on their mind.

Firstly, a tuxedo is a super formal outfit meant to be worn during big occasions such as weddings, prom night and other elaborate events such as a formal cocktail where the dress code is specified as "black tie" event.

Now whereas a traditional black 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 black 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 feel free to keep on a white shirt or a colored shirt as long as it goes well with your suit (I usually prefer wearing a charcoal or gray shaded chambray underneath my black suit when I'm not going to put on a tie).

How does a tuxedo shirt differ from a regular dress shirt?

Asked by Wiki User

Tuxedo shirt, also called "evening shirt", is much more formal than a regular dress shirt, and it is always white. It should have a detachable wing collar and be fastened with shirt studs instead of buttons on the front. One has to wear it with black tie or white tie. Cuffs normally require cuff links.

  • No, it is not advisable for a woman to wear a tuxedo to a black tie wedding because tuxedos are meant to be worn by men. She could wear a simple black cocktail dress and if she likes instead of jewelry she could wear a black bow tie around her neck.
