What are the current tuxedo styles for a wedding? suggestions?

If you don't already own your own tuxedo (which I find hard to imagine), then by all means invest in a designer tux. There are many styles to choose from and there definitely are significant trends that will make you subtly stand out in a crowd. If you're going to wear a tux, you might as well look fabulous.

Women are suckers for a man in a tux, I don't care what anyone says. Some magazines that will give you up-to-the-minute trends are listed below, as are Georgio Armani's and Hogo Boss' sites. If you're daring, and can get to Paris before the wedding, and have the time to browse boutiques, don't forget to check out vintage Armani (or any designer).

There's a number of key questions to ask before deciding on wedding attire: when the wedding is, what time of day the wedding is, if it's inside or outside, if any specific dress instructions were passed and what your role is at the wedding. For instance, if it's a day wedding you probably shouldn't even be wearing a Tuxedo, as it's formally considered evening attire. If you're a member of the wedding party, usually the bride or maid of honor will have a suggestion of dress.

If you're just a guest, it's fairly important not to upstage the formalness/quality of the wedding party. The source links provide not only more information on deciding what to wear, but is a great place to search for any other sartorial questions .

Honestly, there doesn’t seem to be a huge amount of variety in men’s formalwear. I’m sure someone fanatical about fashion would disagree, but I can only think of a few things that matter and I actually think it probably makes more sense to think about what looks good on you than to think about what is current. Jacket: Trends move in jackets (more buttons to less buttons, etc.), but focus on getting the right jacket for your size.

If you are tall, you can probably go to three buttons, but if you are shorter, two will look better. Tie: I still see more people wearing tuxes with a tie (more skinny ties these days too) than bowties, but I do think that bowties are making a bit of a comeback. I know your question was wedding focused, but it seemed like more and more actors were wearing bow ties (or no ties) to the Oscars last year than in years past.

The beauty of the bow tie is that it is timeless, but I will say that I think most guys look better in a regular tie than a bow tie. Color: There’s only one choice here – black. One last note – overall, I see less and less of an emphasis on formalwear altogether.

I see more weddings where even the groom is just wearing a nice suit. I think that when people start thinking about spending $100-$200 on tux rental they figure it is better to just have people buy a nice suit that they can get multiple uses out of.

Only wear a tuxedo if the wedding is at night; Tuxedos are evening wear. A traditional suit or morning suit is proper wear for a daytime wedding If the wedding is at night I would wear a peak lapel midnight (dark) blue single breasted tuxedo with a matching waistcoat. Black is for funerals and security guards.

Make sure your waist is covered, either by a waistcoat or a cummerbund. Pair it with a bowtie (color is your choice, I would go dark grey) and a plain white handkerchief. I would stay away from patent leather shoes, but that is just a personal preference.

I would wear a well shined pair of balmorals. Make sure to buy button covers for your shirt buttons too!

Okay, so I grew up in the tuxedo industry and I have met on numerous occasions with the big industry sales reps. For some people, you need to buy your tuxedo from a designer you trust. Most other people in this country just want a black tux!

Recently there has been an increased demand in 2-button notches. I also own an online tuxedo rental company called tuxship.com where we ship any the tux rental to your home, hotel, or office. I recommend to anyone getting married or going to prom to pick a tux that looks good.

If you like it, than your date will like it. The fact that you are in a tuxedo gets the reaction, not what style of tuxedo you're in.

Personally I find tuxedos in general to be kind of tacky. The shiny lapels and they always have that weird shiny stripe down the pant leg. Often times you'll be able to find a regular suit that looks much better than a tuxedo.

If it's really black tie I can't help you, but if you can help it i'd avoid the tuxedo, and instead go with a suit+vest, keeps it classy.

LOL It's however you want it to be! If this is in relation to the groom, personally in my opinion I think it's all up to the groom, her, and the wedding design. Are you more concerned about the current styles or "faux pas"?

Or are you more concerned about making it special, meaningful and memorable? I've attached a picture of me in my wedding clown suit. Wedding was in the daytime, and I don't know if it's in style or not, but I sure made it look damn good!

=) HAHA That and it was me, not a style, not the hip thing, not whats in.... I saw it and liked it, Simple. Its me. That's what mattered to me.

I wasn't out to impress anybody or whatever, however in the process I did. ;) Usually all the grooms guys all wear the same tuxes (apart from the groom).... and the best man has some bit of something that differentiates him as such, and for participants I was happy if they just came. Most wore suit and ties, some had nice collared shirts tucked into nice pants and a few just came casual.

Personal Preferences.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
