Some may assume that a tuxedo and a suit are the same but actually, there are some differences that you should know about these two. When you say tuxedo, this means that this is something that comes with satin details. You will see that the buttons are made of satin or the lapels are also made of satin.

Suits will also not have stain stipe down which can be found on the pant leg. One thing that you will notice about the suit is that it will usually be composed of the same material all over. Tuxedos are usually expected to be worn in the evening while suits can be worn for business events and other formal events that need to be done during the daytime.

A blazer is basically just a jacket that is usually worn more as a casual dress. A blazer is on many occasions or most times used as a synonym for a boating jacket or sports jacket. On the other hand, Tuxedos appear in different types, and they can be worn given the situation. A singly breasted tuxedo is the tuxedo that is worn casually or on a less formal occasion, like the casual one.

The double-breasted tuxedo is the one worn for more formal functions. Blazers usually resemble a suit having metal buttons with patch pockets. The most important feature of tuxedos is the black color. A tuxedo usually comes with a button, but recently this convention has been modified and broken, and the suits now come with more buttons. Tuxedos usually come with pointed lapels. Some of the schools in the Commonwealth countries usually have blazers as their school uniforms.
