Oh he's not technically breaking any rules, Tuxedo Mask's outfit isnt a traditional kind of tuxedo at all. Its a military Mess suit most likely based on the formal attire worn by the French Military! The uniform is crazy similar to Tuxedo Masks whole drip. Theyre also worn by royalty! Mamoru is a prince and a king!

Funny enough, King Endymion actually wears a traditional style tuxedo, with coat tails and everything. Endymion seems more associated with the coattails, so Mamoru on the Kanzenban covers probably isn't Mamoru at all but Prince Endymion!

Tuxedo Mask's outfit isnt an outfit, it's a military uniform- just like the senshi!

I think he has coat tails in Crystal's design cus Sakou used Kanzenban as a reference- Cus he's never actually depicted with having coattails in the actual pages or artbook outside of King Endymion. Or maybe cus mess jackets and white tie tuxedos share a similar waist design, Sakou and gang thiught he was wearing a white tie tux and probably didn't know about Mess Jackets, at least not by name.

We always talk shit about Mamorus bad fashion and usually think his manga fashion style is very decent (besides the cow print anyway lol)

But listen the boy literally cant dress right he doesnt even wear a tuxedo right, theres 3 types for specific occassions with specific etiquette and our boy is wearing all 3 styles at once what a mess.

imagine newspaper articles and forums just clowning in his drip lmaoooooo

#i mean hes still breaking some form of dress code #its like a mix of black tie and mess suit #in the manga this is way more apparent his jacket doesnt have coattails #and mess jackets also are like white tie tuxedos but they dint have coattails!#his double breasted buttons and lapel also follow the same pattern as the french military mess suit #the tux is his sailor suit! quite literally #i mean again its meant to be worn at very formal events its the most formal you can get and hss just out in daylight in it #and thats valid of him #but yea! hes not wearing your average tuxedo. mamoru is really just dripped out of his fucking mind #sailorcrisis and i were discussing his design and i went in another rabbit hole and found the name of his jacket #and that became another rabbit hole #i think naoko saw the opourutnity to give prince Endymion an actjal outfit by giving him his own tuxedo design for the covers #cus the only time we see mamoru in kanzenban hes with princess serenity and not as tuxedo mask!#she might have given mamoru a white tux jacket in later artbook pages tho i have to look but i dont remember it being the case #mamoru chiba #tuxedo mask #nikki talks #maybe mess suit was the intended dssign from naoko if so damn she knows her stuff
