Non-conventional tuxedos are widely available and liked by men these days. Instead of suiting up in a humdrum traditional tuxedo, certain individualistic men prefer to don a different kind of tuxedo. One among the non-conventional styles is the mandarin collar tuxedo.

This tuxedo is called the Nehru jacket and in other terms a "Mao jacket". It incorporates a stand-up collar usually accompanied by a round neckline. Buttons may or may not be present. If they are present, the arrangement is usually in a single line for fastening. One can wear this formal wear safely even without the usual tie that accompanies most traditional suits. You can even wear this tuxedo to most formal and semi-formal events, including weddings.

A good example of this fashion forward type of tuxedo is the Jean Yves Mirage tuxedo. The Mirage formal wear has a mandarin collar designed in a no-buttons style. It presents a sharp silhouette of the wearer and lends him a distinct look. If worn to an event, it will definitely stand out among the other tuxedos.

The Jean Yves Mirage tuxedos are available in white, black, ivory and platinum. Many other brands also offer this design due to its growing popularity among men. The mandarin collar formal dress and especially the Mirage tuxedo are favored more among the youth. This reflects in the increase of mandarin collar tuxedo sales for prom events. It reflects more youthful style due to its non-conventionality.

A classic tip to accessorize the mandarin collar tuxedo is to wear a mandarin collar shirt made especially for tuxedos. The best color to go with would be white. However, as far as a vest goes, pick either a contrasting color or one that matches exactly with your tuxedo.

If you plan to wear this formal for a wedding, make sure you know the time of the event. If it is a morning wedding, wear the dress in a light shade. A black mandarin collar tuxedo is a brilliant choice for a night wedding. Ultimately, it is all about self-expression while sticking to certain norms of society. While this dress breaks away from certain conventions, it remains an acceptable and stylish tuxedo.
