Choosing the Right Tuxedo for Any Event
What to Wear When It's a Semi-Formal Event
Not every special event requires a tuxedo. You should consider renting a shirt, perfect for any semi-formal event.
Selections include charcoal grey, black and black chalk stripe. To personalize your look, choose from the microfiber colored shirt collection including black & white stripes. You can also select any 4-in-hand long tie available in many colors. A flat finish shoe (also available for rent) is the perfect choice to complete your suit.
What to Wear When It's a Prom
It's as simple as 1-2-3....
Take a look at lapel styles, coat lengths & fabrics. Something is sure to catch your eye. Choose from flat front, pleated or comfort fit pants to match.
Consider your vest and tie....here's where you can really customize your tux. Check out all the latest looks in vests, ties, shirts & shoes. There are hundreds of patterns & colors to match your date's dress. Once you have the vest, think of which tie you would like....a 4-in-hand long tie, cravat (wide tie) or perhaps a bow tie.
Look for something extra special...microfiber shirts come in all the popular colors and new black & white stripes. Finish your tux with a pair of contemporary formal shoes like the Ecko sport shoe and black & white wing shoe.
What to Wear When It's a Wedding
You've said "yes"...and the planning is underway. Choosing the perfect tuxedos for the big day is easier than you think. Close your eyes and imagine that one picture of the entire wedding party standing together. What do you see? Does the groom have a different coat from his ushers, or is his vest a different color? Do the ushers' vests match the colors of the bridesmaids' dresses? How are the fathers and other special family members dressed? This exercise helps to set a direction.
Silhouette:
Next, consider the cut of the jacket. Today you can choose from the classic tuxedo length, or the bold fashion of a long jacket. Do you prefer the look of traditional buttons, multiple buttons, or the clean look of a buttonless front? Now think of the fabric. We offer several fashion stripes, today's popular colors and luxurious super 100's fine wools.
Lapels:
Look closely at the lapels of the coats. In addition to the classic notch, peak and shawl, there are also enhanced lapel treatments including insets, trims & standup collars.
Accents:
To compliment any style tuxedo, choose the vest & tie by the pattern and color. There are hundreds of shades available to match today's popular gown colors.
Ties are available in classic bow ties, 4-in-hand long ties and cravats. It's your choice. Our new Microfiber shirt collection offers a soft, comfortable feel in a palette of colors, and coordinates with any style. Complete any look with the perfect formal shoe.
