Over the past decade vent less tuxedo jackets have gone from Soho to 5th avenue. The main reason non-vented tuxedos have become so popular is due to the slimming effect it has when tailored correctly.
Sacrificing the vent causes a bit more wrinkling in the jacket but this is offset by the trend of not wearing the jacket again once seated. Often a guest attending a black tie affair will leave the jacket on the back of their chair once the main ceremony is done. In the past a tuxedo jacket was worn at all times retaining the formal look through out the night. Now full back tuxedo vests are all the rage and allow for a formal presence without the need of the tuxedo jacket.
Vented tuxedo jackets are not out of place at any black tie event, just not as common. The vented jackets have the added bonus of comfort while sitting during the ceremony and also allow easy access to the back pockets. Having side or center vents make the jacket drape over the waist and rear sections of the body in a more natural way.

1.Garment quality
By purchasing a tuxedo you can decide the quality and style instead of settling for a rental tuxedos. Do you really want to wear a tuxedo that’s been worn by 50 people before you?

3.Getting the tuxedo you want
Many times in rental stores the 2 button notch tuxedo you picked out has been booked for another wedding party ahead of you. What happens? You are asked to rent a 1 button peak or 2-button shawl tuxedo that was not your first choice. Don’t settle for anything less than the formalwear YOU want. It’s your money.
