A tuxedo, often referred to as a "tux" in informal contexts, is a formal evening suit distinguished primarily by satin or grosgrain facings on the jacket's lapels and buttons, and a similar stripe along the outseam of the trousers. Traditionally black or midnight blue, the tuxedo is worn with a formal shirt, a bow tie, and patent leather shoes. It is the standard attire for events described as black-tie and is frequently chosen for elegant events, weddings, and sophisticated soirées.
