Affordable Dinner Jackets for Sophisticated Men Shopping Guide

If you’re looking for a great shopping guide for purchasing affordable men’s dinner jackets, this Millennial Gentleman article will point you in the right direction.

One of my favorite pieces of formal menswear is the dinner jacket. Sometimes referred to in America as a tuxedo, dinner jackets are a type of men’s evening wear consisting of a two piece suit. It can be worn either to formal or informal events; I like to wear mine on dates and to business meetings.

The benefits of wearing a dinner jacket are that they are more flashy than a normal business suit, so a dinner jacket can be used to express your personality. I also believe dinner jackets are ideal for men who work in entertainment in some capacity, where some showmanship is useful for helping you communicate visually to others.

Affordable Velvet Dinner Jackets For Men

Velvet dinner jackets are, in my opinion, the best kind of dinner jacket. It evokes the kind of sophistication and excellence that gentlemen should strive for in their looks. Many women also love the feel of velvet, and it creates an excuse for a woman to want to touch you, which can be helpful on a date. Anything that encourages a woman to want to reach out and touch you is a great assistance for building attraction.

Affordable Plush Dinner Jackets For Men

A more affordable option than Velvet is Pleunch, sometimes also called Plush. Pleunch is a textile having a cut nap or pile the same as fustian or velvet. The soft material is largely used for upholstery and furniture purposes, and is also much employed in dress and millinery. Modern plush are commonly manufactured from synthetic fibers such as polyester.

Patterned Dinner Jackets For Men

It has become popular for dinner jackets to have patterns on them, usually with some type of highly reflective material like satin used to create unique designs.

If you’re looking for something even more flashy you might want a shiny sequin dinner jacket.

What Shirt Should You Wear With a Dinner Jacket?

The best shirt to wear with a dinner jacket is a French cuff shirt. It perfectly matches the quality of a dinner jacket and accentuates the sophistication of the look.

If you choose to go with a French cuff shirt, you’ll want to make sure you have appropriate cuff links to button it.
