How to Wear a Texas Tuxedo. Texas Tuxedos are often worn to formal events, especially in rural areas of the country. The definition of a "Texas Tuxedo" is open to interpretation, but the clothes should always look new and are in good condition without holes or noticeable wear.
Step 1
Wear a traditional tuxedo or a Texas Tuxedo to a formal event if you live in Texas or a similar rural area heavily populated by ranches and cowboys.
