A tuxedo makes a wedding feel formal and timeless. Here is how to choose the right one.
Color
Black is the classic, and midnight blue is a striking alternative that reads black indoors and shows a subtle richness in light. For evening weddings, a deep velvet jacket adds texture and presence.
Lapel and details
A peak or shawl lapel in satin is the standard for a tuxedo. Pair it with a white formal shirt, a black bow tie, studs, and polished black shoes. Keep the details clean and classic.
Fit
Nothing dates a tuxedo faster than a poor fit. A made-to-measure tuxedo is trim but comfortable through the chest and waist, with clean trouser lines. This is where custom wins.
Rent or buy
Buy if you will wear black tie more than once or twice, since a custom tuxedo fits perfectly and lasts. Rent for a single event. We offer both. Explore custom tuxedos and wedding suits and tuxedos.
