Tuxedo rental (black tie)
For weddings, operas, concerts and balls as the Zurich Opera Ball.
The black tuxedo with pointed or shawl lapel is the right choice for official social events. To be worn with normal or wing collar shirts as well as a matching cummerbund and a bow tie.
What is the difference between a normal suit and a tuxedo? The tuxedo usually has either a single button or is double-breasted. The one button smoking can be worn open or closed while the double-breasted remains always closed. A tuxedo jacket has usually no slot on the back. Tuxedo trousers have a crease and a ribbon on the side that is matched with the lapel.
