Tuxedos

Whether you're dressing to impress at an evening black-tie event, or attending a formal occasion like a wedding or a prom, a tuxedo is the ultimate statement of style. Sleek, sophisticated and timeless, a tailored tuxedo from Dobell will help you stand out from the crowd.

Tuxedos are sometimes known as dinner jackets, dinner suits or as black-tie in the UK, and they're the go-to formalwear option for most events with a dress code. A tuxedo consists of formal trousers, a white dress shirt, a jacket with shawl or peak lapels, bow-tie, and sometimes accessories like waistcoats or a cummerbund. The lapels of the tuxedo jacket, and the seams of the trousers are often made of satin to add a touch of style and keep you looking sharp. Pair your tuxedo with black shoes for the full look.

Frequently Asked Questions - Men's Tuxedos

What's the difference between a tuxedo and a suit?

Although similar, a tuxedo is a smarter version of a regular suit that is worn on a special occasion or formal event. The main difference is the materials used as tuxedos often have satin lapels. They can also be made from a velvet material, and have fabric-covered buttons. The trousers often have satin seams and don't have belt loops.

What shoes do you wear with a tuxedo?

Most people opt for shiny black shoes or a classic pair of Oxfords with their tux.

Can you wear a tuxedo to a wedding?

Yes, you certainly can wear a tuxedo to a wedding but it's important to check the dress code. If you're a wedding guest, you don't want to overshadow the main wedding party and their morning suits. If in doubt, stick with a regular wedding suit.
