"Using studs" vs. "Using buttons" on a tuxedo shirt?Updated 6 months ago

When it comes to formal wear, studs are usually preferred over regular buttons on a tuxedo shirt. Often times customers are confused about the buttons going down the center of a tuxedo shirt. Often times, manufacturers will still include shirt buttons going down the center placket of the shirt. However, there is usually a small slit near each shirt button. The slit is there so you can slide your stud through the slit; you will then use the stud to fasten your shirt instead of the shirt button. Was that confusing? ... :)

If you are wearing a bow tie, you absolutely want to be certain that you are wearing studs with your tuxedo. If you are wearing a long tie, you can technically get away with not wearing studs on the shirt because the tie will cover the center placket of the shirt. However, if you end up loosening your tie or taking your tie off at the end of the night, it would be better if you were displaying a nice set of studs instead of basic buttons on a shirt.

Bottom line: it is recommended to wear studs whenever you are donning your formal attire. Don't overlook the small details; it's usually the small details that separate the average from the exceptional.
