Okay, I have this dilemma about the difference between a Tuxedo and a Suit. Is there a difference? Is it just vocabulary?

Also W2C a suit like this Dior Homme one?

Prom season begins

You can think of tuxedos of a sub-type of suit, though there is a TOUCH more leeway with things like color and whatnot with evening dress. In general, a tuxedo is a dark woolen suit with a satin-faced lapel (often in a less business-like cut like a shawl or peak lapel). Some tuxedos also have a satin stripe down the outseam of the pant. Tuxedos are more often worn with tuxedo shirts, which often have a plastron or bib of some sort, sometimes pleated, but usually of a stiffer fabric, often buttoned with studs rather than buttons and often featuring French cuffs.

In modern dress, the tuxedo has adapted to more styles including alternative colors as well as non-matched pairs with jackets that more closely resemble smoking jackets (i.e. with colors, velvet fabric, etc.) rather than traditional suit-style tuxedo jackets.

If this is something you can afford and you aren't growing anymore and you want something to last for a long time, Dior for sure.

If it's fun and you don't care about blowing money, CdG.

If you're not sure you'll wear it for forever and don't want to go overboard, Acne.

I dislike bow ties with anything but a tux. A normal tie often looks funny with the lapels of a tux jacket tho, so I would say bowties are ideal for tuxs.

The theme of the prom is "The Great Gatsby" so an evening gown would probably be fine. She's 2 years younger than me and I'm taking her so I havs a little more say in what the wardrobe for the night is. We were actually gonna go thrifting at some point to try to find a 20s style dress.

There aren't really fedora wearers where I'm from except for the random autist. I live in a rural area so usually the cringing comes from camo suits accented with hunter orange. And not cool camp like flecktarn or any streetwear its like legit hunting camo with leaves and shit lol. Usually the theme isn't really followed that much except for the decorations.

In rural areas of my country people rock style I call serb-hunter-core. It's old army jacket from our last civil war, rubber boots and a shotgun. And all day long they talk about who from their area they suspect is serb and who is not and who was where in '91 and who profited or fled somewhere during war. Nobody works anywhere, the governments pays them monthly pay two times higher than average pay just because they got shot or injured in war or something like that. And everyone is diagnosed PTSD.

I bought two suits from HM and had them tailored to fit me.
They look great if you go out with fashion retards who know nothing about suits (Which is 90% of my city).
I wear them every time I know I will get shitfaced drunk so if I ruin the suit it won't be such catastrophe.
Fit itself is horrible so they really must be tailored.
