Tuxedos
Whether you're dressing to impress at an evening black-tie event, or attending a formal occasion like a wedding or a prom, a tuxedo is the ultimate statement of style. Sleek, sophisticated and timeless, a tailored tuxedo from Dobell will make you stand out from the crowd.
Tuxedos are sometimes known as dinner jackets, dinner suits or as black-tie, and they're the go-to formalwear option for most events with a dress code. A tuxedo consists of formal pants, a white tuxedo shirt, a jacket with shawl or peak lapels, bow-tie, and sometimes accessories like vests or cummerbund. The lapels of the tuxedo jacket, and the seams of the pants are often made of satin to add a touch of style and keep you looking sharp. Pair your tuxedo with black shoes for the full look.
Tuxedo Styles and Cuts
We stock a range of complete tuxedos as well as separate blazers and pants to create your own look. Our tuxedo blazers are available in single and double-breasted versions. We have large collection of regular fit, tailored-fit and slim-fit tuxedos. A regular cut jacket offers the most comfort and flexibility. At the other end of the scale, a slim-fit tuxedo and shirt hugs your body and creates a modern, sharp look. Tailored-cut tuxedos fit between the two and offer the best of both styles.
Alongside the traditional black, we also stock navy, cream, white, burgundy and green tuxedo blazers. To ensure you truly stand out, opt for one of our velvet jackets. All look great with a tailored white shirt and black bow tie.
Tuxedo Accessories
No tuxedo is complete without a selection of high-quality, stylish accessories. We stock a wide range of accessories including shoes, belts, bow ties, cufflinks, suspenders, hats, pocket squares, cummerbunds, and even dress canes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a tuxedo and a suit?
Although similar, a tuxedo is a smarter version of a regular suit that is worn on a special occasion or formal event. The main difference is the materials used as tuxedos often have satin lapels. They can also be made from a velvet material, and have fabric-covered buttons. The pants often have satin seams and don't have belt loops.
What shoes do you wear with a tuxedo?
Most people opt for shiny black shoes or a pair of classic Oxfords with their tux.
Can you wear a tuxedo to a wedding?
Yes, you certainly can wear a tuxedo to a wedding but it's important to check the dress code. If you're a wedding guest, you don't want to overshadow the main wedding party and their morning suits. If in doubt, stick with a regular wedding suit.
