What Is a Tuxedo?
A tuxedo is the default menswear attire for a black tie event.
the most obvious differences of a tuxedo compared to a suit are the bow tie, and the satin/silk lapels
other optional differences include:
studded buttons and cufflinks
patent leather shoes or velvet loafers
velvet jackets
shawl collar lapels
For this event, all tuxedos must be black.
