Suit vs. Tuxedo
Can you spot the difference?
Choosing between a suit and a tuxedo comes down to the formality of your event and your personal style. Both options look sharp and timeless, but each offers a different level of polish. Whether you’re walking down the aisle, attending prom, or dressing for a gala, understanding the key differences can help you make the right call.

Key Differences:
Lapels: Tuxedos feature satin lapels, while suits have fabric lapels that match the jacket.
Buttons: Tuxedo buttons are covered in satin; suit buttons are usually plastic or horn-style.
Accessories: Tuxedos are typically paired with bow ties, cummerbunds, and studs; suits are worn with long ties and dress shirts.
Occasion: Tuxedos are ideal for black tie or formal events. Suits fit well for weddings, work, or semi-formal occasions.
Shoes: Tuxedos pair best with patent leather shoes; suits look great with polished dress shoes.
