tuxedo
Black-tie evening suit
A tuxedo is formal evening wear for men, consisting of a black jacket with satin lapels, matching trousers with a satin stripe, and typically worn with a bow tie and formal shirt.
Distinguished from a full tailcoat by its shorter jacket, the tuxedo occupies the middle ground of men's formal dress—appropriate for black-tie events but not the most formal occasions.
Often shortened to tux: He rented a tux for prom.
