Tuxedo history


A tuxedo is a mysterious thing that everyone has heard about, but few have tried on and bought. This applies to both the male and female versions. Starting a journey through the history of fashion as a dressing gown, it has evolved into a piece of clothing for formal evening outings.

By the 17th century, tobacco smoking spread throughout Europe, but reached popularity by the middle of the 19th century after the Crimean War. At social events, smoking in front of ladies was considered indecent, so men retired to specially designated smoking rooms. There they changed into tuxedos and put on hats with tassels so that the smell of smoke would not be absorbed into clothes and hair. In addition, it is not customary to shake the ashes from the cigars; it must fall off by itself. On the smooth fabric, it slid without leaving any traces.

The first tuxedos had a lot in common with bathrobes, and this was quite justified, because in those days there were no other comfortable clothes such as home T-shirts and tracksuits. That is why tuxedos have taken root as a convenient jacket option that could be worn morning and evening for a friendly home reception or club meeting.

Over time, the tuxedo has undergone many changes: it was shortened to mid-thigh, acquired a strict silhouette and was limited in the color range to black. Now it is men's evening wear for special occasions, especially with the black tie dress code.

Initially, tuxedos were worn by real men, and the girls managed to win back this thing only in the 1960s, when Yves Saint Laurent proposed a women's tuxedo. Some particularly bold and independent women wore tuxedos in the past, so the feminine version was the hallmark of bold and even daring girls. Despite this, the tuxedo has retained its elitism to this day and is not going to lose it.

Therefore, a women's tuxedo is a great alternative to an evening dress for special events, New Years and other holidays.

What to combine with


In modern models of women's tuxedos, almost nothing remains of the male version. Women's models are cut differently and have a completely different silhouette. There are a lot of variations of women's tuxedo, it can be as loose fit, as well as tapered, minimalistic and simple, or even with fur elements.

It is best to combine a women's tuxedo with trousers and a pair of expensive high-heeled shoes. Although modern women of fashion are happy to wear it not only with trousers, but also skirts, shorts, and also wear a classic white turtleneck under a tuxedo. There are no specific recommendations for the length, the main thing is that the tuxedo suits you in height and shape.
