What type of clothing is named for a place in the United States?
Tuxedo
Cardigan
Corset
Leotard
Fact: The “tuxedo” was named after Tuxedo Park, an upstate New York countryside enclave for Manhattan’s wealthiest citizens. The story has it that one evening Griswold Lorillard, the son of the founder of Tuxedo Park, and his friends came up with the idea to wear a short black jacket without tails to the club’s first Autumn Ball in October 1886. The new fashion was a hit. When male guests would visit with families in Tuxedo Park, they were intrigued by the jackets that men wore and would ask their tailors to make them a jacket “like the ones worn in Tuxedo.”
