The word “tuxedo,” you see, is always associated with balls, theater premieres, expensive wedding celebrations, official receptions and premieres of something that the elite gather for. If your date is wearing this type of jacket, you are probably wearing something amazing to match. How did this unusual and infrequently used outfit come about?
Description, history
It is believed that the tuxedo was invented in England. Allegedly, this fashion was introduced by dandies. In the 17th century it became common to smoke tobacco. “Tuxedo” translates as “smoking jacket.” But in high society it is not customary for gentlemen to smoke in front of ladies. Organizers of social events were forced to equip smoking rooms. No, nothing special - just rooms where they grind recklessly. There, representatives of the stronger sex put on a jacket for smoking. On the way out, the clothes saturated with the smell of tobacco were again changed into evening attire and returned to the hall. Shaking off the ashes was considered bad manners. That’s why it just fell on the floor and ended up on my lapels.It was easily shaken off from satin fabric and no traces remained on it.
In 1865, tailor Henry Poole made the first bespoke tuxedo for the Prince. And I wrote it down in my client book. But the tuxedo was still unofficial clothing. Whether it's a tailcoat. Before 1918, tuxedos were rarely worn in England. For some grand events. Much later they began to wear it during social functions.
Women's tuxedo
And then a revolution occurred: the masters of needle and thread came up with women's tuxedos. They look chic and are analogous to an evening dress. You shouldn't wear them to work. This wouldn't be entirely appropriate. Models vary. Some look stricter. And some, on the contrary, captivate with the brightness of color and glamor. Let's remember the unforgettable image of Marlene Dietrich in a hat and tuxedo. Well, isn't this exquisite?
Tuxedo Dresses
After some time, the elegant outfit underwent another transformation. Tuxedo dresses appeared. They resemble a military jacket, fitted to the figure. They come single-breasted or double-breasted. The length of the models also differs in midi and palm above the knee. These expensive dresses do not necessarily end with a straight pencil skirt. It can be either “sun” or pleated. And in general, any original option that comes to the mind of a competent designer is good.
If we talk about who this type of clothing suits, then stylists unanimously declare: it is universal. Thanks to the variety of cut and decorative details, it looks good both on ladies with curvy figures and on slender women. This image is also not tied to age. And you don’t have to worry about your individual style: the bow won’t be spoiled. You just need to choose “yours” from the many options, the one that suits you.More than anyone else.
Dresses of this kind, especially with floors that differ noticeably in length, look impressive with lace-up sandals to the knees or mid-calf. Also high-heeled boots and patent leather ankle boots. Celebrities often pair their tuxedos with suede or leather over-the-knee boots. Elbow-length gloves made of thin kid leather of the same color will make you look simply stunning. You can casually throw a straight-cut leopard print coat or a short leather jacket over your shoulders. Of the dozens of handbags stored in your wardrobe, it makes sense to choose a simple clutch without bright details. If you need to take documents or books with you, use a case of a suitable color. A bright shoulder bag for ladies' little things will also look good with short playful dress models.
A “U”-shaped neckline without underwear in the warm season (or in a hot party atmosphere) will add a special chic to your look.
Dress up and don’t forget: if you have good taste, you can look elegant in a dressing gown. Unless, of course, you put it on before going on the red carpet.
