Women's Tuxedos

Women's tuxedos are an elegant option appropriate for a wide range of events depending on the dress code and personal style. Black-tie weddings or other black-tie events like galas or charity balls are the most common settings for tuxedos for women. They're perfectly appropriate since tuxes and formal gowns are the standard—women's tuxes are no exception, and they maintain that same level of formality.

A well-fitting tuxedo creates a sophisticated look that aligns with elevated formal dress codes and upscale social gatherings. However, a women's tuxedo suit is also a great option for corporate events like conferences, as well as formal parties like New Year's celebrations and dressed-up dinners that call for a more refined dress code.

There are several distinct features that help women's tuxedos stand out as timeless formalwear and that distinguish a tuxedo from a suit. Tuxedos are known for satin accents that enhance the formal aesthetic as compared to a suit, and the satin adds a level of detail that contributes to the polished look of the outfit. The single-button front of a tuxedo helps to elongate your figure for an especially clean, elevated visual.

On our women's tuxedos—including the women's black tuxedo, white tuxedo, and navy tuxedo—you'll find a shawl lapel featuring a continuous curve that extends from the tuxedo jacket's collar to the button, creating a sleek silhouette. With no break or notch, the shawl lapel—another instance of the satin detailing—creates an understated design that adds a touch of sophistication for an effortless look.

Tuxedo sizing is key when it comes to pulling off the ultimate formal ensemble. Overall, your tuxedo have a fit comfortably snug fit without being too tight, to ensure freedom of movement, nor too loose. The shoulder seams should align with your shoulders, with the sleeves resting near the wrists. Your tuxedo pants should sit comfortably along your waist and fall toward the top of your footwear, with the notch right around your ankle.

Through the Fit Finder, you can get an accurate sizing recommendation after answering a few simple questions.

There are countless ways to accessorize a women's tuxedo for various events and to showcase your flair and style. An easy option for formal affairs is to add in jewelry pieces like a bold necklace with matching earrings for a cohesive look. Paired with matching cuff bracelets, you can create a formal outfit that blends seamlessly into black-tie events while making a subtle statement that reflects your personality. Or, consider more delicate accessories like a dainty necklace and a simple ring to keep the attention on your tuxedo.

You can also opt for traditional tuxedo accessories and menswear pieces like a collared shirt and bow tie or neck ribbon to complete your tux outfit and still staying black-tie ready. Alternatively, keep the styling simple with a shell top to layer under the tuxedo jacket.

When exploring footwear to combine with your tuxedo, a set of classic pumps or glossy loafers never goes out of style. Women's tuxedos can also be dressed down to create a more casual feel. White sneakers, denim jeans, and a tuxedo jacket over a plain white tee make for a street casual ensemble that's effortless and cool. To put together an even more relaxed look, swap your tuxedo jacket for a toned-down women's black blazer or tan suit jacket that blends style with functionality.
