So, let’s get going…!

I know you are smart enough for this question, but let me give a quick brief on it. “Tuxedo shirts are the ultimate formal style for men in black. It comes with a variety of erect collars, textural bib, french cuffs (folded cuffs), and plain white front.”

Quite the simplest definition, right! 

Now you know what it is…

The kind of styles in which you pull it off.

So here we go! Type of Tuxedo Shirt Tux shirts are dominantly divided into 3 major types.

• Pleated Front • Bib Front • Plain Front

The name says it all, but wait! Are you unable to understand these fancy French names? No worries! In simple words, it has a pleated front all the way down. These pleats are made from the shirt’s fabric, making it light and airy on the chest area. Usually, 10 ruffles are layered on each side of the placket.

Bib front tux shirt has an extra layer on the chest area with pleats but mostly pique fabric is used. This is one of the popular shirts for grooms.

As Leonardo di Vinci once said: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”There are times when you want to keep it simple yet elegant. So what can be better than a plain white tux shirt under your black tuxedo to complete an ultimate dapper look?

When it’s about pairing a shirt under a dapper wool tuxedo, the choices we make must be peculiar and must provide a beautiful contrast to the tuxedo fabric, accentuating its beauty and outlook. So what choices do we have?

This material is just pure classic. You can’t go wrong with it anywhere, anytime at all. Its regal stature and cut make it a perfect choice for dress shirts and provide a perfect contrast of crisp cotton against characteristic textured woolen tuxedo.

With a material as regal as silk, there are less than 1% chances that you will be screwing over your fashion game. The characteristic shine and texture of the material are enough to pull off a poise, high-maintenance effortless look, providing a perfect commemoration of divineness with the tuxedo. 

Light on your pockets but heavy on the durability and wrinkle resistance scale. This material is your ultimate savior for standing out in a fancy formal gathering. The only negative is its reduced breathability, but who cares when you slay the day in about a quarter of the money you could have spent.

A durable shiny, and opaque material, perfect for draping under a wool tuxedo, is a popular alternative nowadays to garner spotlight in a formal gathering.  

A medium-weight material blended with cotton or wool fibers, providing a lovely formal outlook, working well with the popular tuxedo trend.

Suppose you want to go ultra-fancy to be the center of all attention in any particular formal gathering you wish to attend. In that case, a wingtip collar will be your magic wand. You know it’s worth it when even David Beckham trusted them for his ‘Royal wedding outfit’; when all he just had to do is just smile, and all the attention in entire England is his. 

When Fashion Gurus say, “Classic never goes out of style,” listen to them and opt for a neat ‘English’ or ‘President spread’ collar to complete your look.  

A bright white rectangular panel visible under a tuxedo, embellishing the shirt’s front part, is called a bib.

It may be neatly pleated or ruffled, making your attire a bit more high class, perfect for some regal gatherings.

Remember: If you don’t want to carry out some vicious fashion butchery, always wear a bib-front shirt with a tuxedo and bowtie. You won’t ever be forgiven if you didn’t.  

A placket is the center strip of the fabric on a shirt’s front, where a shirt’s buttonholes are situated. Simple but a classic determinant of style, you must be very particular about what placket style you choose depending upon the type of event you will attend.

Some popular placket styles are as follows:

It is the most common type and a classic that can’t go wrong. This style incorporates an interlining that is neatly folded and sewn for a trendy, classic symmetrical placket style. 

A cleaner and minimalistic placket-less look, perfect to shine in any casual-to-formal event. 

If you want something extra on your shirt to catch attention but still want to keep it simple and sophisticated, a fly-front packet is a perfect choice to opt for. Just a little imagination broiling but even not too much to sabotage the balance.  

Also called French front. In this style, the first upper four buttons are removed and replaced with tuxedo studs. 

The typical classic buttoned cuffs sticking out your tuxedo jacket. Van is embellished by replacing them with cufflinks to add just the right amount of oomph. 

Classic french cuffs rolled up and kept in place by cufflinks.

The two classic neckwear associated with the tuxes are:

The type of neckwear to opt for is decided by the kind of shirt you ought to wear. In the case of a wingtip collar or bibbed pleated shirts, a bowtie is the only option to choose blindly. It will be fashion suicide to wear a necktie with them.

Neckties are meant to be worn with plain shirts, without bibs, and with spread collars.

• SILK (ALSO: SILK SATIN, KNIT SILK, SILK TWILL) • WOOL,  • VELVET (ALSO: WOOL FLANNEL, TARTAN) • LOW-CUT VEST • CUMMERBUND • BARE

So there was the TUXEDO CHRONICLES gist throughout the world that is so hard to comprehend by common men. All you have to do is go through this blog and understand the dynamics of this traditional style that men still swore by today.  

Create Your Own Ethical and Sustainable Clothing Brand With Always Trendin

Hey pal, I recently come to know a new clothing brand, Middleman. 

It was love at first sight; I immediately fell in love with Markell’s idea, concept, and vision. Middleman clothing is a clothing line, but it’s much more than that – and I want to share why!

Middleman’s clothing is designed for style-focused men concerned with individuality and stand out from the crowd. The collection offers a fresh perspective and uncompromising modern concepts.

Middleman is a clothing line that adapts streetwear designs into something new. The concept is to make a product worn in everyday life or for a special occasion. 

Middleman Clothing consisting of inventively designed t-shirts, sweatshirts, pullovers, leggings, and shorts, etc. The goal for Middleman is to bring in many alternatives to the existing trends in the streetwear market. The primary purpose of this line is to bring new trends in the streetwear industry instead of just repeating the same old things repeatedly.

The Middleman brand is for those who live with an edge yet don’t engage in the spotlight. These are understated people and not looking to be compared to what’s on the rack next to them. The Middleman is willing to speak their mind and have something unique to help exhibit their uniqueness in the fashion world.

The brand was developed and created by the young designer and entrepreneur Markell Fernandez AKA Keezy. He has a passion for the luxury designer hustle and undying faith in individuality with a twist of streetwear, which inspired Keezy to create Middleman Clothing, that stands for more than just clothing; it’s a statement saying that you can always be your boss! It’s a Middleman!

“Thinking outside the box, we set out to create clothing that comes from a place of pure expression. Our designs result from ideas designed to collaborate and represent who you are and what you’re about. From our off-the-wall slogans to our modern fits and styling, it’s all about creating your statement,” Said Keezy.

He further added that “You can’t deny that streetwear is on the rise. We focused on creating fresh, trendy designs that reflect today’s fashion’s stylistic context and popularity. Whether it be originality or trending fashions wrapped in an attractive package, each piece we create is created with you in mind.”

And while scrolling through the on-page collection, I can’t agree more. 

I can see how Middleman narrows the gap between fashion and streetwear, bringing you the hottest clothing that we see. The design team works tirelessly to get the latest in streetwear trends on an online retail platform. 

It presents to you a collection of high-quality fashion apparel that you can wear on weekdays or your favorite weekend hangout. All designs are created and produced by Middleman Clothing.

I love this black tee. It looks like a perfect way to tell the world that there is always a middle man in life. This black tee has elastic rib sleeves and a hem for a comfy fit. The classic crew neck provides a relaxed fit that is perfect for a day on the slopes or lounging around the house. Made with the delicate mix of cotton & Polly, it gives it a refined fit for those who prefer an airier feel.

Sounds Cool, isn’t it…!

Men seem totally obsessed with manly outfits like jeans and pants but that is not all. You do have other options to show up with. I have been extremely intrigued by the recent Givenchy introductory skirts for men that are too cool to be ignored.

You might be thinking that I am talking about some bizarre fancy dress but it can certainly be worn casually at occasional hangouts and evening walks or while shopping.

It is a kind of skirt that you can wear over your pants (Are you still thinking about women’s skirts! C’mon…). Men seem to get a nice wardrobe add-on after decades. But I am not sure if we are going to adopt it easily, sooner or later…! It is always a big no for men to go public with an outfit like this one. But they get to try it for sure.

Though, I am seeing it to be on street quite soon (well, who knows…).

But let’s talk a little more about the kind of skirt it is. It is made up of wool and gabardine. Having a waist belt fastening with an apron-like flap falling gorgeously over one side.

Comes with a zip fly with essential welt pockets resembling formal pants. It can be a dapper option to don with long t-shirts, leather jackets, or any sort of sports coat.

The look appeared on the runway with a printed top and gladiator sandals. However, it can work well with loafer and Chelsea boot with narrow jeans or formal pants.

You can find some cool collections of similar styles on Amazon for sale. The price seems justified to me. I am on it. How about you? Are you going to get the one or will you keep waiting for another option to try?

If you have already bought the one, don’t forget to strike some poses in the comment section below. I would be happy to see you guys styling this spicy outlook.

Paisley is never enough. Looking at the intricate pattern I feel a subtle pull to grab it for the next trip. I am not too into womanly designs but sometimes there is a need to sprinkle spices on your boring personae.

Men in paisley look magnificent – won’t you agree?

Well, I have something to show you. A paisley shirt styles for men that are too tempting to ignore.

The beautiful retro printing style of this shirt will be a grandeur to men’s wardrobe. It is pretty perfect for casual handouts, seaside vacation, beach walk and festivals. It is made from 100% cotton, skin-friendly and provides truly comfortable feelings in summer when you hate the Sun.

It is vibrant, thin and soft which is likely be your summer buddy. and you gonna kill the style battle on the beach.

The design has something to make you stand out from boring crowd. If you are looking for a latest addition in your wardrobe collection then this must be in your list to buy online.
