What's the difference between a suit and tux?

[dudeman007]

Questions is obvious. I need to know for prom. Honestly I don't see much of a difference. Should I just stick with my suit and screw renting a tux?

One leg's both the same.

Doesnt a tux come with a comerbund and stuff, while a suit doesnt?

tux for prom, just do it

Bah, I graduated from HS last year and my GF is a Sr this year. I'm not gonna fork over the dough for a tux. I'm just wearing my suit with some colored shirt, MAYBE even a new tie if I'm feeling ritzy.

The jacket.

they are very similar, although tuxs have a satin lapel and a satin stripe down the leg.

don't waste your money.

tux

A tux has a special jacket, special pants, special shirt, a cummerbund and a bow-tie. Basically, completely different.

A suit can be any color. A tux is always black, although you can get a white dinner jacket. Also, with a suit you wear a regular tie (unless you're dorky and wear a bow tie). With a tux you wear a black bow tie.

The girl you go to prom with will want you to wear a tuxedo.

If anything, buy a new suit for the prom. You can use it later in life for your job interviews.

Rented tux's usually use cheap materials and definitely look cheap, whereas a new suit will make you stand out from the crowd.

cheap bastard

new suit's usefulness for job interviews.... that all depends on how much beer and pizza you consume in college

 

[gshock888]

either way ur not going to get any dressed in those. what's important is that you will hopefully get out of those clothes

Tux doesn't have to have a bowtie + cummerbund. My last tux had a vest.

That is true. I put on 10lbs between HS grad and college grad. . .

dude just rent a tux. you don't want to wear a suit to prom. if you do, you will probably be the only one wearing one at prom. there are great varieties you can get with a tux, including the color of the shirt, the vest, etc.

just go rent a damn tux, you can only go to your senior prom once.

Just wear tuxedo t-shirt.

Trust me, you'll wear a tux. Your g/f will make sure of that.

i do i do. tux = sucks

Unless you buy a tux which was made with high quality wool, tux = sux

 

[thomsbrain]

wear the tux. in HS everyone is so anal about conformity and doing things the "right way" that your GF will be ashamed to be with you if you don't wear one (even if she won't admit it). rent the stupid $60 tux and don't worry about it.
