Ok, so I am about to start a grad course during which there will be a number of events for which a Tux is required. I look at this as an opportunity to add one to my wardrobe as opposed to renting. This is compounded by the fact that I have just arrived in Hong Kong for a 3 week break with the rents before heading off to the UK.
So, the point is, Help Me Design My Tuxedo!!!
Color? Black, or is Midnight blue acceptable or even preferrable?
Lapels- Peak I assume? Grosgrain?
Buttons- 1, or is 2 acceptable?
Vents- I hear none, but I am a bit afraid of that
Trousers- Flat Front? Grosgrain Strips necessary? Cuffs? Belt loops or?
Buttons- Working sleeve buttons? Fabric Covered Buttons?
Pockets, anything specific?
Silhouette?
Vest? Cumberbund (eww)?
Can I do a fun lining on a Tux or would that be out of line?
Shirt? and what about the studs and stuff?
Can I skip the patent leather shoes if I do a high polished plain captoe?
I figure going forward I will require it about 3 odd times per year, so I am really looking for a very classic, timeless design which is going to go the distance. In suits, I prefer an English cut, fairly slim, some waist suppression. Would like to maintain a slim cut on the tux also.
I have no idea on formal wear (black tie, white tie, etc). Talk to me like an idiot.
Thanks in advance,
K
