#13: The Secret Tuxedo Hack
The tuxedo is one of the most refined pieces of menswear ever designed, dating back to the 1800s. Tailors have had over a century to improve its fit and function. One clever feature lies in the pants themselves—tiny holes in the top corners of the pockets. Most people don’t even notice them, but they serve a very specific purpose.
Those holes are there so you can discreetly adjust your shirt if it starts riding up. Instead of awkwardly jamming your hands down your pants in public, you can gently tug your shirt back into place through the small holes. It’s a subtle but effective solution to a common wardrobe issue. Whoever designed this detail understood that form and function can go hand in hand, even in formalwear. Little tricks like this make tuxedos even more impressive behind the scenes.
