Let those who do not know the difference between a suit and a tuxedo raising their hands. It is easy to confuse the two, however these have real differences. Charles Brunold, creator of tailor-made costumes at Mr. Brunold, enlightens us on the subject.
“”A tuxedo and a suit, it’s the same thing ? “If you have already answered yes to this sentence, then have been thinking about it. Since women have appropriated these clothes initially reserved for the male locker room, the question arises more and more frequently. How to know the difference? In terms of evening clothes, the rules observed are rigorous. The tuxedo is not an exception. Charles Brunold, tailor-made creator at New York, differential The tuxedue of the costume.
“”First, the setback of the jacket, the piping of the pockets and the buttons are covered with satin. There is also often a band of satin along the tuxedo leg.“This satin band has also given its name to the whole. Indeed, it was affixed to the pass so that the ashes of the cigars of these gentlemen slip there during their passages to the smoking room. This material therefore constitutes the main index, but that’s not all:”Traditionally, the fabric of a tuxedo is thicker because it is supposed to be worn in an air -conditioned environment.“”
Besides its appearance, the garment also responds to defined social codes. Much more dressed than the costume that consists of a jacket and pants cut in the same fabric, the tuxedo is worn especially on certain occasions. We choose it to attend a wedding, during events at the Dress Code Formal or Galas, the Opera or the Casino.
Like each habit, the tuxedo is no exception to fashions and trends. Although black is a flagship color for the tuxedo (while the costume can be made in many colors and printed), “Cwas recent years in New York, we are mainly asked for midnight blue fabrics, with very modern and adjusted cuts“Add Mr. Brunold.
Traditionally, the tuxedo is worn with a specific belt made up of a wide strip of fabric. It is generally associated with a well cut white shirt but it is also bare below (for small breasts), closed jacket, revealing a sexy neckline. On the feet, pumps if the evening asks to be quite dressed.
As for the costume, generally worn more easily during the day, to go to the office for example, it is worn much more relaxed, with white leather tennis and a t-shirt to break the too wise side of the outfit. It only takes a little imagination and anything is possible. The time has come to carve a costume!
