Developed in England in the late 1800s, the tuxedo has become an ingrained tradition in America for the memorable occasions of high school prom and weddings and pretty much nothing else unless you happen to be George Clooney in which case you are heartily encouraged to wear one every day. The tuxedo continues to evolve gradually, and does follow the tides of fashion: shawl collar, notched collar, bow tie, long tie, shiny shoes, matte shoes, etc., but somehow still manages to have timeless appeal, a far cry from its distant dowdy cousin, the denim leisure suit, of 'Not Timeless' fame. Gentlemen, you become suave and debonair and at least seven times more handsome when you don a tuxedo, please don't balk, but submit studiously and seriously to this time honored suit that will make you a Man.
This makes me want to get married all over again. To the same guy of course!
