Evolution of formal dress through history in New York
A compact history traces formal wear from Roman to Elizabethan times to modern men’s attire. Beau Brummel popularized a black silk suit in the late 1700s, solidifying black and white as formal colors. The 1800s added capes for riding, and the term tuxedo emerged after Griswold Lorillard wore a sack coat style at a New York dance in Tuxedo, New York.
