The origins
Let us go back a few decades: the tuxedo as we know it was created in England in the 1850s. High society men used to wear it to go to the smoking room after dinner. The reason? The tuxedo protected their clothes from the smell of tobacco! Subsequently, the tuxedo became the outfit to wear at major events. And for good reason, it always makes an impression on whoever wears it. The tuxedo has become a truly sophisticated outfit in its own right. It generally consists of several elements where every detail has its place, from the choice of garments to the various accessories that accompany them.

Which shirt to wear with a tuxedo?
The tuxedo is synonymous with elegance, so you cannot wear just any shirt to complete this great classic! The tuxedo shirt is a wing collar shirt with a pleated bib front that has a few distinctive features, as it cannot be accessorised in just any way. For example, you cannot wear a tie with it, only a bow tie or a lavallière. It is also advisable to choose it with French cuffs, which would allow you to opt for cufflinks that reflect your personality.
How to wear the tuxedo shirt?
We don't choose to wear a tuxedo every day and we don't often have the opportunity, so the occasion must call for it. The tuxedo shirt with a wing collar and bib front is always worn in white.
Now let us imagine you are invited to an evening event where the dress code calls for a tuxedo. We recommend a black tuxedo. For variety, a grey tuxedo or one with a houndstooth pattern is an excellent alternative! As for the trousers, choose them in black as well or to match the colour and pattern of your jacket. Opt for a straight, high-waisted cut to elongate your silhouette. To complete your outfit, it is better not to wear a belt with tuxedo trousers but a cummerbund placed around your waist. This will create the transition between your trousers and your white wing collar bib-front shirt.

A question about our collections?
Le smoking s'accompagne traditionnellement d'une chemise de cérémonie, généralement blanche, avec un col adapté au nœud papillon et de finitions simple. Chez The Nines, nous privilégions les modèles pensés pour respecter les codes du black tie.
Une chemise de smoking se porte avec un nœud papillon, un smoking et, selon le modèle, des boutons de plastron et des boutons de manchette. Chaque élément participe à l'harmonie de cette tenue de cérémonie.
La chemise de smoking se distingue par des détails spécifiques : plastron, poignets mousquetaires, etc… Elle est pensée pour accompagner les tenues les plus formelles, là où une chemise classique offre davantage de praticité.
Le col cassé est le choix le plus traditionnel avec un smoking, notamment pour les cérémonies les plus officiels. Cela dit, un col français ou un col italien peut également convenir, selon le style recherché et les usages de l'événement.
Une chemise à plastron est dotée d'un empiècement sur le devant, réalisé dans le même tissu ou dans une texture différente, comme un piqué ou des plis. Hérité des tenues de soirée du XIXe siècle, ce détail renforce le caractère cérémoniel de la chemise.
