How to Buy the Perfect Tuxedo for Your Next Special Occasion

Introduction 

When it comes to exuding power and elegance, few garments rival the classic Tuxedo. This quintessential symbol of masculinity has stood the test of time, gracing the frames of icons and influencers alike. At Kachins, we understand the importance of a perfectly tailored Tuxedo and the impact it can have on your presence. 

Tuxedo Suit Overview 

A tuxedo isn’t just a suit; it is a statement. Crafted with precision and artistry, a bespoke Tuxedo of Kachins epitomises sophistication. From the lapels to the cuffs, every stitch is meticulously designed to accentuate your silhouette, ensuring a timeless and distinguished appearance.

Comprising a matching jacket and trousers, it exudes timeless charm and refinement. While traditionally black, tuxedo suits ideas can also embrace hues of grey or white, allowing for subtle variations in style.

Styling tip: Elevate your ensemble with a classic white dress shirt and a sleek black tie/bow for a look that exudes effortless grace. For a touch of personal flair, experiment with coloured shirts and patterned ties, ensuring a touch of individuality without compromising on the timeless essence of the tuxedo.

Importance Of A Well-Fitted Tuxedo

Imagine yourself walking into a room, confident and stylish. The inner conviction instilled by a well-fitted tuxedo is more important than its outer appearance. At Kachins, we understand the transformational power of a well-fitted tuxedo, which may improve not just your appearance but also your demeanour.

How to Buy the Perfect Tuxedo for Your Next Special Occasion

1. Understanding Your Style

Consider your preferences and the event’s theme to align with the appropriate Tuxedo type. Whether you want a classy, modern or trendy look, ensuring a harmonious blend of your style and the occasion’s ambience is pivotal in creating an everlasting impression. Choose a tuxedo that speaks volumes of your unique style and personality. 

Styling tip: To elevate your look, incorporate other accessories like a sleek pair of cufflinks or a stylish pocket square accentuating your tuxedo look with sophistication and charm.

2. Selecting The Right Colour

You can never go wrong with a classic black tuxedo. It is especially true if you're looking for "the one" to be your formal tuxedo for special events. It's also worth noting that some occasions may require a black tuxedo. This is frequently indicated by a "black tie" dress code.

Styling tip: You can incorporate other colours with your classic black tuxedo. You can style different bow ties, tuxedo shoes and accessories like pocket squares.

3. Choosing The Right Jacket

Generally, tuxedo jackets are made from wool or velvet. However, there are several other modern variations which are gaining popularity. Aside from the material, there are four major factors to consider when selecting the appropriate jacket:

• Lapels are the vertical satin folds on the front of the jacket. Peak lapels, shawl collars, and notch lapels are all options for lapels. Each label denotes a distinct level of formality.
• Buttons - You can use plain black buttons or the same colour as the lapel.
• The vertical slit in the back of a garment is referred to as a vent. Jackets are available in unvented, single-vented, and double-vented configurations. An unvented jacket may be the most attractive, but it can also be the most uncomfortable.
• Pockets -On the outside of the jacket, there should be three pockets: two inside and one outside.

4. Choosing The Right Trousers

The key to selecting the appropriate trousers is to prioritise two factors: proper fit and simplicity.

With modern suiting, a more tailored and customised fit is becoming the norm for trousers. That means an upsurge in demand for tailored trousers that are shorter and have a tighter fit.

Styling tip: The fit should be gently tapered, with the waist sitting higher than a regular suit. Also, instead of belt loops, choose side-adjusters. If you intend to wear braces, look for trousers with buttons inside the waist rather than clip-on braces.

5. Knowing Your Measurements

A well-fitted tuxedo requires precise measurements. Take the exact chest, waist, and inseam measurements, or seek professional assistance to achieve the right fit, allowing you to exude confidence and comfort effortlessly.

6. Selecting The Accessories

Choose the appropriate tuxedo accessories, such as a beautiful bow tie, smart cufflinks, and a refined pocket square. Ensure that each item complements the style and colour of your tuxedo, providing a touch of sophistication and refinement to the overall suit. Consider adding a kamarband (waistband) and classic suspenders to enhance the traditional and polished look. The kamarband introduces a cultural touch, while well-matched suspenders contribute to a polished appearance and keep your trousers securely in place.

Maintenance and Care Tips

• Cleaning: Carefully follow the garment care instructions to preserve the fabric's quality and colour vibrancy.
• Storage: To protect your tuxedo from dust and moisture, store it in a breathable garment bag and hang it on a robust and broad-shouldered hanger.
• Steaming and pressing: For a clean, finished look, use a steamer to remove creases and retain the fabric's integrity, or hire professional pressing services.
• Spot Treatment: Treat any stains or spills quickly with moderate spot treatments to avoid permanent fabric damage.
• Professional treatment: Consult with professional dry cleaners who specialise in handling sensitive textiles regularly to ensure your tuxedo receives the greatest treatment and maintenance for long-term use.
