The suit that we consider to be so formal today actually began as an informal lounge suit in 19th century

The tailors of London’s Savile Row, where even today men come from around the world for the best custom-tailored suits, began using the fabrics of the formal tailcoat to create a shorter jacket suitable for informal dinners. This "informal" dinner jacket was the predecessor of the tuxedo.
An American millionaire in the mid-19th century picked up one of these dinner jackets in London. Upon his return to the United States, he decided to show off his jacket at a country club in the town of Tuxedo Park, NY. The jacket became so popular with the men at the club that the word "tucseto," which was originally a Native American word, became synonymous with the formal men’s dinner suit.

How to Find the Right Tuxedo
The process of purchasing a tuxedo is one that some people find intimidating. Not used to thinking about fashion or formal wear, all the different tuxedo components, their different varieties, and the multitude of options each jacket, tie, and waistcoat comes in can easily overwhelm the shopper.

Don’t be overwhelmed. Start by finding out how conservatively one should be dressed. Answering that question will go a long way in helping to narrow down the choices. With a general idea of how conservative the tuxedo should be, start looking at pictures of tuxedos online or in magazines. If still overwhelmed, get a friend with a good sense of style to help find colors and cuts that fit well with one's own body type.
Another tip is to ask other tuxedo wearers how they plan to dress for the event. As it is always uncomfortable to arrive at any event overdressed or under-dressed, call ahead to find out what’s most appropriate for the occasion. Most individuals only have occasion to wear a tuxedo a few times in their life. Instead of worrying about the final tuxedo choice, enjoy the fun of shopping for what might be a once-in-a-lifetime event.
