Do you think tuxedo tailcoats look better than normal tuxedo coats?
I am deciding which tuxedo coat to buy and I think the tailcoat looks better than a normal coat. To me it looks more professional and elegant, whereas, the regular coat JUST looks formal and that’s all. What do you fellow fashionistas out there think?
Or do you think I should buy both? If so, tell me what occasions should I wear specific coats on.
The above multi-paragraph answer is essentially correct. For further reference blacktieguide.com has pretty much all you would ever need to know about tuxedos and then some. There are also supplementary sections regarding white tie there.
Do not wear a tailcoat if the dress code is specifically black tie – this is not the place to be “that guy”. If you ever find an occasion where you can wear white tie, however, the tailcoat must be precisely tailored to look right. Such occasions are few and far between because the tuxedo has almost completely eclipsed the tailcoat in (semi-)formal settings. Tailcoats are generally reserved for formal balls and state dinners.
But if you have the finances – by all means go for it! A tailored tailcoat, and indeed, the entire white-tie ensemble, costs no more than any other fine tailored tuxedo or business (lounge) suit (Brooks Bros. Golden Fleece suits, tuxedos, and tails are all $1600). Suits can have different levels of formality, but they’ll all run you the same amount of money.
