Tchucos Suit and Tuxedo

What is the difference between a suit and a tuxedo? Our customers always have this question. Therefore , we will explain the main differences and help you make the right choice.

A suit is made up of three pieces, hence the name suit, being the jacket, vest and pants.

Visually, one of the main differences that can be noticed between a suit and a tuxedo are the lapels, which on the suit are split and made of the same fabric as the rest of the jacket.

Therefore, it is recommended to wear a dress shirt, with traditional ties.

In terms of sophistication, the suit is considered one level below the tuxedo, and its use is recommended for events in which the use of a full business attire is requested.

A tuxedo is made up of two pieces, the tuxedo itself and the pants, in addition to its optional accessories, such as the scarf and cummerbund.

Primarily, the tuxedo must have a single cufflink, with a deeper height, thus enhancing the width of the shoulders and showing the formal shirt.

Above all, a tuxedo must have a lapel covered in satin, which can be split or one-piece, with different color options.

Consequently, when wearing a tuxedo, a formal shirt and bow tie are recommended, as well as the use of a cummerbund and scarf is optional.
