Finding a Women’s Tuxedo

When someone thinks of a tuxedo, it is rare that they think of a woman wearing one. The traditional image is that of a man in a tuxedo and a woman wearing a dress. But in modern business, more and more women are getting positions high up in companies. To succeed in the corporate world, a woman must display an air of professionalism and confidence. By wearing a tuxedo, a woman can show that she is equal to men by dressing similar. But this doesn’t mean that a woman has to wear an unflattering outfit. Women’s tuxedos can be complimentary to their body figure, and look classy without looking too manly. If you want to buy a woman’s tuxedo, you should make a careful choice.

Men’s tuxedos have always followed a very rigid form factor, requiring each component to meet preset guidelines that have been in place for decades. However, women’s tuxedos don’t have such specific requirements, and will allow you to piece together your own personal outfit that you feel looks good on you. The individual pieces of a woman’s tuxedo are the same as those for men, including the dress shirt, coat, cummerbund, and pants. The internet is a great source of these various different components, and many sites offer formal clothing for women.

The main variations usually occur with the upper portion of the woman’s tuxedo. One popular option is to have a vest arrangement. This includes a long sleeve dress shirt underneath the jacket, then a sleeveless jacket underneath. This is a popular look for businesswomen. You may also choose to stick with a completely sleeveless arrangement, if you are going to be attending slightly less formal events. Mix and match various different choices to decide what compliments you the most, then stick with it.

Formal wear has always tended to favor men, but now that is becoming less and less true. If you are a woman looking for something nice to wear to formal events, you won’t have much trouble at all. A quick visit to local stores or internet shops will help you accumulate the components you need to create a very impressive outfit that will not only make you look pleasant, but also very professional.

Where do I find a women's tuxedo?
Especially one in a funky cool color that I could wear to prom, for under $100?
