And when it comes to Summer Tuxedo, we must first introduce his sibling - MESS dress "MESS".
Mess - Originated from the British Army officers' mess uniform
Mess originated in England, it is a summer evening dress of British origin, first appearing in 1889 as an officer's dinner dress for the British army in India. Due to the tropical climate in India, the model was an abbreviated version of the tuxedo, with the tails removed and the upper body in white (the principle of non-heat absorption), with a kama crepe trim, which was simpler and better heat dissipation than the vest.
However, because of its unique short style, it fits the work habits of servants and waiters, so it is now often used as a dress for waiters in luxury hotels (or venues).
But anyway, the appearance of Mess, with the style of white on top and black on the bottom, gave those "rebellious" gentlemen and style people the greatest imagination, which also contributed to the emergence and popularity of Summer Tuxedo.
In 1892, Mess was officially included in the Tuxedo family, and became popular as a formal summer evening dress.
In 1920, Mess appeared in the United States and became popular among the aristocratic society of the East Coast. In the same period, summer Tuxedo with American style appeared and became popular.
Summer Tuxedo
The white top with black pants was the basic feature of the summer Tuxedo, which was the perfect embodiment of "pragmatism" in the summer social dress of the American aristocrats at that time, and it was also the materialized product of the Americanization of Mess (Tuxedoization).
This new dress developed out of pragmatism, but unexpectedly produced a stunning beauty.
This is one of the important reasons why "Summer Tuxedo" has a place in the Tuxedo family and has been passed on to this day.
"Summer Tuxedo" is also a member of the Tuxedo family, so in addition to the signature white top, it can be used for all of Tuxedo's clothing & accessories.
It is worth mentioning that the "Summer" white top originally appeared because of the role of the season (summer), but as time progressed, this concept no longer mattered and the white top could be considered the only signature element of the chata and a personalized formal evening dress element.
In other words, in modern society, the chata has been removed from the boundaries of the seasons and has become a universal evening dress for all seasons. And because of its special shape and elegant expression, it has gained the same respect as the "Fancy Tuxedo", and has become a great success in the entertainment and fashion industry.
Well, the above is all about the Tuxedo family branches. We must thank the excellent designers for their wide imagination and creative space to create rich fashion with Tuxedo genetic code.
