Etymology
The term 'tuxedo' is derived from 'Tuxedo Park,' a resort near New York City where the style was popularized in the late 19th century. This fashionable ensemble emerged around 1860 and was designed for a more casual take on formal evening wear. The early versions of the tuxedo were worn by men at informal occasions, distinctive from the traditional tailcoat. The tuxedo has evolved over the years, becoming a staple option for black-tie events. Its association with elegance and sophistication solidified its place in men's fashion, and today it is a symbol of formal attire recognized worldwide.
