With all the expenses involved in planning a wedding, you will want to save money wherever you can. Unlike the wedding dress, the groom’s tuxedo is usually rented, making the expense much less. If you are planning a wedding on a budget, you can save money on the groom’s rental by following these steps.

Step 1Start looking for tuxedo rentals early. The longer you wait to rent the groom’s tuxedo, the less chance you will have to find a good deal. Start looking for the groom’s tuxedo as soon as you begin planning for the wedding.

Step 2Wear your own shoes. When you have black dress shoes, wear these instead of the rental shoes. This can save you a lot of money and rental shoes tend to be uncomfortable.

Step 3Borrow a tuxedo from someone that owns one. When you have a friend that owns a tuxedo in the same size as the groom, borrowing the tux would be a great way to cut costs.

With the right tuxedo or formal pant set, your little tyke will cause all the little girls' heads to turn when they see your dashing little boy enter the room of any party or social occasion. The following information should serve as a basic guide to the types of formal suits for toddlers you can expect to find.

Dress Suits for Toddlers and Formal Pant Sets

If you're attending a function that has a less formal bent than a "black tie" affair, you might want to consider a dress suit. Choose a navy dress suit made of 100% polyester with a matching vest. A white dress shirt with a laydown collar and printed tie complements the styling of the 3-button suit. Add leather brown shoes and belt and you'll know that you must be dressing the next President.

Or if a tuxedo jacket isn't required for your special occasion, besides the formal suits for toddlers that are offered online, you may like opting for a formal pant set. Choose a pant set in black and add a celadon shirt with laydown collar and tie. Add a matching celadon pocket square for a bit of flair. You can keep your little gent well-attired with the number of formal suits for toddlers that are sold online.

Tuxedos for Toddlers

If you've been added to the invitation to a more formal affair, then any of the tuxedos for toddlers will be perfect for your son. Be daring if not brave and choose white or ivory. Just make sure your tot stays away from any chocolate, grape jelly or similar substance. Of course it's up to you but probably black is your safest bet.

The tuxedo, made of 100% polyester, provides comfort and minimal care. You can pick tuxedos with 1, 2 or 3 buttons, notch or shawl lapels and satin lining. Select from poly satin vests or cummerbunds in various colors with matching tuxedo ties. Most trousers are at cuff for easy hemming.

Tuxedo Shirts

Just as important as the tuxedo, the tuxedo shirt helps complete the entire look. Choose shirts with banded and wingtip collars or the classic laydown style collar in white, black, burgundy, red, royal blue or rust. Add a poly satin vest and bow tie or even a cummerbund.

A "Vested" Interest

Vests are great accessories as they come in a number of colors in easy care poly satin. Even buttons are covered with the "satin" to give each vest a pure look of elegance. Colors like silver, gold emerald, lavender, red, royal blue and light pink are some of the colors to choose from beside basic colors of black and white.

The above information is a basic guide. If you follow it you're sure to find the perfect suit or tuxedo for your little boy.

So you have been invited to a formal event and the invitation reads "black tie required". What this means is that you have to wear a tuxedo, vest or cummerbund, black bow tie, and tuxedo dress shirt. If you don't already own a tuxedo and are thinking about if spending the money on a tuxedo will be a good investment, than this brief article will help you decide whether to buy or rent. Below are a few deciding factors to consider:

Frequency of Use
If black tie events will be a more frequent occurrence for you in the future, that buying a tuxedo is most likely the better option. Renting a complete tuxedo consisting of tuxedo shirt, black bow tie, tuxedo shoes, cummerbund or vest, and the tuxedo itself, will usually cost between $80 and $120. Buying a quality set made from fine wool will range between $400 and $600. Keep in mind that classic tuxedo's will never go out of style. It is very traditional attire that has been around for more than two centuries. So if you plan on attending a black tie event more than 5 times in the next few years than buying a new tuxedo will be the way to go.

Lifestyle Changes
Besides frequency of use, your lifestyle has some impact on the buy vs. rent decision. If you know that you might be moving quite frequently due to your job or family, then minimizing your wardrobe will make moving much easier. Also think about how much closet space you have available. If you are living in a small New York studio, then adding an entire new outfit to your wardrobe might be unpractical. The tuxedo should be hung in a somewhat ventilated area to protect the fabric and lining. Stuffing it into a duffel bag is not an option.

Weight & Body Changes
Think about if you will keep the same body type. If you are currently over weight and have set the goal to yourself to lose 20 pounds, then wait to buy your tuxedo until you have accomplished your goal. Having spent a good amount of money on your new outfit might be a nice additional motivation to keep the pounds off once lost.

So, take the few pointers above into consideration before you head to the mall ready to spend the hard earned cash. Weather you choose to rent or buy your tuxedo, do some research on the place you are purchasing from. A quick search on the internet on customer reviews will usually be a good starting point.

The most popular wedding shoes are usually ivory in color, and they come in many styles. You can have these shoes dyed to match your dress exactly. There are other accessories that you can buy to match your shoes such as your wedding handbag.

The show styles range in style from elegant heels, sandals, ballet type slippers, peep toes shoes, sling backs, and closed toe pumps, with heels in any size. If you are going for comfort I would look to the more flat heel shoes for dancing and keeping comfortable during the reception.

I had my shoes made with the comfortable cloth clog with beautiful lace and pearl décor put on them. I wore these when I was measured for my gown. I wanted a low shoe that I knew would be comfortable for the whole evening. They were done in Ivory as I wore an Ivory gown.

Many women are going with Ivory gowns, white gowns are beautiful, but also very bright, ivory is a more mellow color. You should take a piece of the fabric from your dress to be sure that the shoes are perfectly died to match.

Often shoes can become uncomfortable if you wear really high heels and you end up kicking them off for dancing at the wedding, which is fine except your gown will drag, as it was made with the higher heel measurements.

There are many styles of shoes that you can try on at the wedding boutiques. You can choose different materials and amount of embellishments as well. Be sure that they are comfortable, and pick them up a few weeks before the wedding so you can wear them around your house to break them in. This is a great help for comfort during your big day.

Men also have a use for Ivory wedding shoes that match their tuxedo. Some men go with the ivory tuxedo and there are shoes to match for them as well. The style options are more limited, but there are a few different options. These are usually rented with the Tux.

Find a style of shoe that compliments your dress or gown. They will be noticed more when a short wedding dress is worn, and the higher heel shoes are usually the choice here. With a gown they really are not seen as much, so flat shoes will work just as well.

With a shorter wedding dress I is very important that the shoes are dyed to match the dress perfectly. You can get fabric, leather, and other types of materials. Choose the one that best suits your needs and budget.

Keep in mind that your choice will be something you will wear for several hours and late into the night in most cases. If you choose to wear heels and then switch to slippers later, watch the bottom of the gown. You can have your shoes cleaned and preserved with your wedding gown after the wedding if you want to.

Tuxedos are the tailored suit for men. It is well known for its satin lapel. This type of formal wear could be widely seen during formal dinners as well as other events like a wedding.

The name tuxedo was derived from a region in New York where the Marquis de Chastellux referred to in 1754 as the "Tuxedo Pond." The place was also called the Duck Seeder because it is a favorite place to hunt wild ducks.

The Lorillard family is responsible for Tuxedo Pond's first step to society. They have turned the place into an elite hunting and fishing resort.

Later in the year 1885, Tuxedo Pond later developed into a social district; thus it was called Tuxedo Park, with Iames Brown Potter as one of its founders. In November that year, the Prince of Wales introduced the idea of dinner jackets to Mr. Potter.

The first appearance of the Tuxedo was in October 1886. It was the first Autumn Ball of the Tuxedo Club. Griswold Lorillard and his friends who wore the wardrobe that was to be called the "Tuxedo."

They wore a red satin-lapelled jacket with no tails as would the traditional white dinner jackets should look like. And from then on, the idea was adapted by everyone else.

Today, tuxedos could be seen worn by everybody especially on formal occasions. Here are the most popular types of tuxedos and some guidelines on what occasion to wear them.

The first is the Full Dress Tailcoat. It is more commonly known as the White Tie. This type of tuxedo is perfect for formal evening weddings.

Another type is the Stroller. This type is often seen being worn by the attendants of the groom in a wedding. This type is great for a formal morning wedding.

A contemporary substitute for a formal occasion is the Notch Lapel Tuxedo. But the Peak Lapel Tuxedo is a more traditional alternative than the Notch Lapel plus it could be worn both in the morning as well as in the evening.

In choosing the perfect tuxedo, the body type of the man who will wear it is the utmost consideration. The tuxedo should not only show elegance but it should also flatter the one wearing the tux. It should be able to enhance the whole package.

For short, slender grooms, they should be looking for single breasted jackets that have long lines. A low button stance and wide-peak lapels lengthen the body visually.

They could also opt for double breasted jacket or delicately patterned vest and tie for a more stylish approach. The pants should always break somewhere on the top of the shoe. It should also slant a little downward at the back.

For short, stocky grooms, slim shawl collars would fit them best. Here the top button should be somewhere near the small of the waist so it will give the torso an illusion of a leaner waist.

Avoiding a more broad-shoulder styled jacket would also help. Men with this body type should stick to a more natural shoulder-lined jacket. This time the pants should reach the foot but be careful not to make the pant leg break too much on the foot else it will make it look shoddy.

Shawl collar tuxedos are best for tall, husky grooms. This would enhance the broad shoulders and the muscular body type of the men. The length of the jacket is essential. The fingertips should reach the bottom of the jacket. The shirt cuffs should also extend at least a half inch beyond the jacket sleeve.

Tall, slim grooms could best fit in almost any tuxedo type of his choice. But still, the tuxedo should be full and follow the lines of the body.

Black Tuxedos

2010-03-27T05:03:00.000-07:00

With the Christmas holidays just around the corner, chances are that you might be receiving an invitation calling for black tie attire. Are you a little uncertain about what black tie dress code entails? Well, you are not alone. In fact, each day thousands of men search on Google and many other search engines with keywords like: "Black Tie Attire", "How to Dress For Black Tie Events", or "Black Tie Dress Code". The few tips below will help you understand the basics about black tie attire and the appropriate dress code.

To sum things up, black tie means one thing: Tuxedo. Traditionally the black tuxedo is the only choice. White tuxedo jackets are only acceptable in warmer weather and in functions during the day. Stay away from any other color unless you know that the event is more playful and less serious. A high school prom for instance is a common place where young men prefer flashier tuxedo colors such as light baby blue, white, and even purple.

If you don't own your own tuxedo, renting one is the best option. Call around to local tuxedo places and see what choices, and what sizes they have available. Also get an idea about pricing. The typical price range is between $60 to $100. Buying your own tuxedo is a good idea if black tie attire is a more common occurrence for you. A good rule of thumb: If you wear a tuxedo more than three times per year, then buying one is a good option. Shopping around for sales on tuxedos you will find a good deal. The best deals are found when you have a little time and are in no rush to buy. When buying a tuxedo, make sure that the material is wool, as it is more breathable and more comfortable to wear than synthetic materials. The finer the wool, the shiner and more elegant the tuxedo will be. To rank the wools quality, experts speak of terms like super 100s, super 120s, super 140s, all the way up to super 200s wool. To get a general idea, super 100s tuxedos are considered "economical" while a super 140s wool tuxedo is considered luxury quality. Most rental places use tuxedos that are made of a mix between polyester and wool. They are longer lasting, easier to clean, and much cheaper for them to buy.

Traditionally black tie also requires a bow tie. The black bow tie is the best and most formal option. A white bow tie would be a good option for black tie attire in warmer weather in combination with a white tuxedo jacket. Other bow tie colors such as pink, burgundy, bright red, and baby blue are less formal and most commonly worn during weddings in order to match a particular wedding theme color. For traditional black tie attire, neckties are out of place. If you are invited to a semi-formal event however, neckties are better suited than bow ties. Just as with the bow tie, the black necktie is most formal. Also formal are solid color neckties that are made from finest satin-silk.

Now that you know the basics, the final things to consider are your accessories, such as cufflinks, wrist watches, belt and shoes. Cufflinks are always a great option. Make sure that the cufflink color matches you other pieces of jewelry. Shoes should always be black and polished to shine. Recommended are specific tuxedo shoes. They typically have a thin leather sole and have a high gloss coating. A nicely folded pocket square is also recommended. Most traditional is the white pocket square. Black pocket squares are a good choice in combination with a white jacket. As far as belts are concerned, they are traditionally replaces with a black cummerbund.

Tuxedo Studs

2010-03-26T06:10:00.000-07:00

Have you noticed that on some websites you can purchase your own tuxedo for just about the price you would pay for two tuxedo rentals? So the next time you are in need of a tuxedo you might want to think about purchasing rather than renting. Go ahead and do your research so you'll know what you want and be ready to take the plunge.

A complete tuxedo ensemble includes a jacket, trousers, shirt, bow tie, cuff links, studs, and a cummerbund or vest. If you wear a vest, you do not wear a cummerbund. I would suggest purchasing extra ties and cummerbunds in colors and patterns for a more festive look for any occasion.

Your classic tuxedo, of course, is black but you have several collar options from which to choose. You have the notch lapel tuxedo jacket, the peak lapel tuxedo jacket, the shawl lapel tuxedo jacket, and the mandarin color tuxedo jacket. Personally I prefer the classic notch lapel tuxedo jacket but it really is a matter of choice. The shawl lapel gives the body an elongated look so it has a slenderizing affect.

You then have the trousers in pleated and non-pleated with an adjustable or non-adjustable waist band, all with a satin stripe down the legs.

There is a great selection of tuxedo shirts available. You have the classic wing collar tuxedo shirt, regular collar tuxedo shirt, mandarin collar tuxedo shirt, banded mandarin collar tuxedo shirt, piped mandarin collar tuxedo shirt and the list goes on and on.

The accessories are endless. You have the band bow tie or one of the newer contemporary style ties, the cummerbund or button cover jewelry if you choose one of the mandarin collar shirts. And, of course, the studs and cuff links. Don't forget to take a look at the tuxedo vests. All accessories will be available in an array of colors, patterns and styles. You're sure to find what you need to complete your ensemble.

Go on, be selective and individualize your look. You have a lot of styles, colors and patterns from which to choose.

Have fun and enjoy your special occasion.

The candidate dressed in a full suit is undoubtedly going to make a much better impression than the one in scruffy jeans with t-shirt or even the person in plain shirt and trousers without a necktie and jacket.

Employment Agencies opine that a suit's fabric and color invariably sets the mind of the recruiter thinking of what type of person you are.

There is no denying the fact that a recruiter not only relies on your resume and communication skills, but is also influenced by the visual image you projected largely by your suit. For this reason, you must attach importance to the selection and purchase of your interview suit.

MBA Style magazine recommends that men seeking management positions should stick with a pure wool suit for the interviews.

Green Tuxedo

2010-03-23T02:59:00.000-07:00

You would think with all the recent press that staring a green career would be a walk in the park. Guess again, the fact is that while green business is doing better than many other industries right now there is a much larger volume of folks like yourself who want that green job then there are fat cats "putting up the green" to start new green enterprises. But just because it isn't a walk in the park doesn't mean a bright, determined and motivated person (such as yourself) cant find that green dream job they have always wanted. Here are a few pointers and resources to help you do just that:

1. Identify the path to your green career: So you want to install solar panels do ya? are you NABCEP certified? have you ever been on a roof? While many of these certifications and degrees aren't required for their associated trade or profession, they certainly help to separate you from the eco-herd trying to find green work these days. With a clear idea of what is necessary to obtain your desired position you will save yourself much wasted effort.

2. Find what you do best and 'do it green': Starting your green career doesn't mean you have to reinvent the wheel. Are you a landscaper, become a native plant and water saving landscaper, are you an accountant? become an accountant for a green company. Waitress? there are many a vegan and organic restaurant. Now if you work out on an oil rig you might have to be a little more creative about reapplying your skills. Bio-fuel maybe? In essence just about everything done today is also being done in an environmentally friendly way, therefore it's really just a matter of finding a way to re-apply your skills.

3. Learn the lingo: Your green career of choice is just like any other in the sense that it probably has it's own jargon which describes concepts exclusively relevant to those in the field. LEARN THEM- you don't want your prospective boss to ask you about your carbon footprint just to have you start checking your shoe size.

4. Don't lay the green on too thick: There are plenty of folks out their just a 'green' or 'ecology' away from foaming at the mouth on a daily basis. While this is great for the environmental movement it may not be the bullet-proof selling point you imagined. Remember environmentally minded business's are just that...businesses. While your passion and dedication is important, it is not as important to them as your capacity to fulfill the requirements of your desired position, and thus contribute to the (triple) bottom line of the company. ( also find out what the "triple bottom line" is if you don't already know)

5. Let them know exactly what your looking for: This can be communicated through your resume, cover letter, and first impression. Here you accomplish two things, your implying "I want to work for you because this is a great company" instead of "I've applied at every solar panel installer in town and your my last chance" and it also communicates that this a specific interest of yours- not just something you want to run with for a couple of months to catch up on your bills. The "I'll do anything" approach only serves to communicate desperation and a mistrust for your long term intentions.

6. Match you image to your desired position: Recycled product company executive? That resume better be on recycled paper, solar installation? a tuxedo is a little much. Organic clothing designer- wear a popular organic clothing brand. These small steps combined with nuances in your behavior (say your interviewer offers you a can of soda- make sure you inquire about recycling the can.) go much farther in projecting your image as a serious steward of our environment then tooting your own green horn at the interview.

7.

Keep a focused eye on what you want and an open mind on how to attain it - and you should have no problem.

Black Tie Tuxedo

2010-03-21T04:44:00.001-07:00

So, you received an invitation to a "black-tie" event. That's a good thing. It means that someone thinks enough of you to include you in something very special, very formal and sophisticated. But, if you've never been to a black-tie gathering, you may be wondering what to wear. At an important social event, the last thing you want to do is commit a fashion faux pas.

So, for a man, this should be easy, right? You have a black necktie, so you're good to go! Not necessarily. While the standards vary from country to country and even from event to event, the general consensus is that black-tie means a tuxedo. A black or dark suit with a white shirt and black neckties or bow ties may be acceptable, but could be risky. If you opt for the suit and tie, the shirt should be crisp and the tie should, if possible, be made from black satin-silk. In the long run, use your own discretion, but use some good old common sense, too. For instance, if you've been invited to a black-tie event at the White House, go with the tux with the classic black bow tie look! If you are uncertain about the formality, it is better to overdress. After all, traditional black tie means black tuxedo, black bow tie, and a white pocket square.

As for your date, this is an opportunity for her to flaunt her absolute best. Bring out the DeLaurentis! There are far less restrictions on black-tie attire for women, as long as it's very formal. While basic black is always a good bet, colors, sparkle and glitz are perfectly fine. After all, she's got the perfect accessory: You, dressed in a color that matches anything in her wardrobe. Although the classic full-length gown is probably most widely accepted, a skirt and top may work to semi-formal, or "black tie optional" events. The skirt hem should fall below her knees; anything shorter is generally not considered formal. Low backs or plunging necklines may be suitable, but consider the guest list before trying anything daring.

How about accessories? For the gentleman, cufflinks definitely belong, and those with a little bit of flash - diamonds or emeralds perhaps, will add a touch of class. If you don't have a dress watch, don't wear a watch. The ladies have more leeway here, as well. Diamond bangles, a small sequined handbag, cubic zirconia earrings and matching broche or bracelets - accessorize, but keep it tasteful.

Formal shoes are an absolute must for both of you and they should be immaculate. Guys, if you don't know how to shine your shoes, have them done professionally. Just like solid color black ties are needed, your shoes should be no other color than black and shined to perfection. Gals, wear the shoes that best bring your ensemble together. Coordination is the key.

Finally, remember that you need to look as good as your outfit. A visit to the hair stylist is in order. A clean trim for him, including any facial hair, and a simple up do for her. Consider a manicure. Yes, both of you. Check your smile and if necessary, get to your dentist for a cleaning or use a commercial whitening treatment. Remember the deodorant and mouthwash. It may be a long, warm night and you'll likely be in close proximity to people during your conversations.

Still confused? "Black-Tie Attire" is a snap if you mimic the right icons. Guys, think James Bond (any of them). Girls, go with Audrey Hepburn.

White Tuxedos

2010-03-21T04:33:00.000-07:00

A couple of times a year a man and/or a woman generally go to a formal event and needs to wear a tuxedo. There are many choices of Tuxedos and the question that is typically asked when visiting a store that sells tuxedos is should I wear a white tuxedo or a black tuxedo? There are some things to consider when making this choice:

• What type of event am I going to?
• Is there a color theme for the event?
• Do I look better in black or white?
• Is there a price difference in choosing a white one over a black one?
• What time of year is it?
• Will I buy a Hugo Boss Tuxedo?
• Does it need to be a double breasted tuxedo?

When I hear the term black tie event, what comes to mind for me is a handsome man, wearing a black tuxedo with matching bow tie stepping out of a limousine and heading to his event. This picture is very clear in my mind.

After seeing movies such as an Officer and a Gentleman seeing men wear white suits and white tuxedos also come to mind. The color white exudes elegance, clean lines, and also a special evening. If you are at an event and you spill a glass of white wine on your black tuxedo it would not be as noticeable as if you are wearing the color white. White tuxedos look great but can be very difficult to keep clean.

When I think of the Caribbean and a summer formal events I think of white tuxedos as they would be cooler. My brother got married in St. Thomas and looked oh so handsome as as he said his lifelong vows to his wife. Another brother also wore a ivory tuxedo on his wedding day and looked equally as handsome.

My advice is to try both of them on before making your choice. Bring someone whose judgment you trust with you and they will let you know what looks best on you. Your skin tone will also play a part in how black or white look on you.

Tuxedo Styles

2010-03-20T06:02:00.000-07:00

Tuxedos are no longer as commonly worn as they used to be, but for a formal event like your wedding, it's best to review and to know the basic tuxedo styles available. What you wear directly affects how you look and feel during your wedding. To help you know the different tuxedo styles available, we're providing you with information on one of the most popular wedding tuxedo styles available: the single breasted tuxedo.

The Single Breasted Tuxedo

The single breasted tuxedo is characterized mainly by its jacket. Just like other tuxedos, a formal single breasted tuxedo requires you to wear a tie or bow tie, a cummerbund or vest and matching pants.

Single breasted tuxedos are more casual than their double breasted counterparts. The jacket for this type of tuxedo closes with a narrow overlap that is fastened with a single row of buttons. Although most single breasted tuxedos are one-button, you will also find multiple-button single-breasted tuxedo jackets on the market.

Picking Out Single Breasted Tuxedos

When picking out any style of wedding tuxedo, you need to first consider the time of the ceremony and the formality of the affair. Also, depending on your wedding's level of formality, you have to decide on whether or not you're going for full tails for your tuxedo or if you're going for a more casual look.

Deciding on tuxedo-color and style also depends on whether you're having a day wedding or a night wedding. You're not supposed to wear a black single breasted tuxedo to a morning wedding, but a dark gray tux instead. Forgo the full tails for daytime events and wear a single breasted tuxedo with either peak or shawl lapels. If your semi-formal wedding will be held at night, go for a traditional black, single-breasted tuxedo.

You should also consider your body frame when choosing among single breasted tuxedo styles. If you're short, pick a one-button single breasted tuxedo. You can wear a vest or a cummerbund with this tuxedo style. If you're wearing a vest, just make sure you find a low vest that will help add length to your frame. Steer clear from long tails and double-breasted coats to avoid appearing shorter than you are.

If you have a more rotund frame, wear a single-breasted tuxedo, but avoid jackets with two or more buttons. Forgo the vest if you are short and stocky.

It doesn't matter if you're buying a new tuxedo or if you're renting one. Pick a single breasted tuxedo with a classic cut, style and color for a more dignified look.

Accessorizing Your Suit

Self-expression is all good, but getting too creative with your attire for a formal wedding isn't recommended. You will find cummerbunds and vests in zany colors and designs, but keep in mind that for any formal event, especially your wedding, it's better to stick with the classics than to experiment with different wacky looks.

When to Wear It

Single breasted tuxedos are worn for black tie or semi-formal events. For a white tie affair or an über-formal wedding, go for a double breasted suit over your single breasted tux.

Tuxedo Shop

Once in a while, a man is required to wear a tuxedo for special occasions such as weddings, conferences, proms, school dances, anniversaries and other formal gatherings. However, tuxedos are not typically found in a typical man's wardrobe because of the rarity of occasions when there is a need to wear one. Plus, tuxedos are quite expensive and buying one to be used in a single occasion just isn't practical. So for those occasions when a tuxedo is needed, a trip to the rental shops is just the perfect answer.

Start an Early Search!

If you want ample time in choosing the best tuxedo, start looking for rental shops that offer the best selection. Make a list of probable shops and look up their numbers in the directory. In that way, your search becomes organized and easier. Visit the shops and try on the tuxedos so that you'd really get the best one for you. When you've gone through your list, narrow it down to the shops that have impressed you to shorten your list. Starting an early search also allows you to avoid the rush especially when prom days are coming. Starting the search at a later time might deprive you of the best tuxedos because others have already booked them. So don't procrastinate and move if you want to be the best tuxedo man in the function you are attending.

Arrange for Fitting

To be sure that the tuxedo fits your build very well, arrange to be fitted at least two weeks before the occasion. This will give the shops ample time to alter the fitting of the suit. Doing this at a much later time might cause the shops to rush and sacrifice the quality of the suit's fit. It is also best to come back a week before the occasion for another fitting to check whether it still fits perfectly. Remember, the key to looking good in a tuxedo lies not just in the style but on the fit as well.

Widen Your Budget

Renting a tuxedo is not the same with renting an ordinary suit so it is best to widen your budget to be able to secure a good one. It is easier to choose a tuxedo when there is ample money because most likely, the one you'd like are the pricey ones. Always be ready with your money to be able to have the tuxedo reserved for you especially on seasons when customers are filing in tuxedo shops for rental.

Check Before Check-out

Before checking out the tuxedo that you have chosen, check for loose stitches and fading spots in the tuxedo. This is to save you from embarrassing stares when you finally wear the tuxedo. Spotting these while still in the shop can be very convenient since you can request for a repair then and there. Aside from this, you can also save yourself from additional charges in case you return the tuxedo with damages.

Return What You've Borrowed

As much as possible, return the tuxedo to the rental shop immediately after using it. Some shops charge for delayed returns and keeping the tuxedo longer will only increase chances of you forgetting to return it. So while you still remember that you have rented it, run down to the shop and return in before they start enjoying charging you.

Tuxedos are the tailored suit for men. It is well known for its satin lapel. This type of formal wear could be widely seen during formal dinners as well as other events like a wedding.

The name tuxedo was derived from a region in New York where the Marquis de Chastellux referred to in 1754 as the "Tuxedo Pond." The place was also called the Duck Seeder because it is a favorite place to hunt wild ducks.

The Lorillard family is responsible for Tuxedo Pond's first step to society. They have turned the place into an elite hunting and fishing resort.

Later in the year 1885, Tuxedo Pond later developed into a social district; thus it was called Tuxedo Park, with Iames Brown Potter as one of its founders. In November that year, the Prince of Wales introduced the idea of dinner jackets to Mr. Potter.

The first appearance of the Tuxedo was in October 1886. It was the first Autumn Ball of the Tuxedo Club. Griswold Lorillard and his friends who wore the wardrobe that was to be called the "Tuxedo."

They wore a red satin-lapelled jacket with no tails as would the traditional white dinner jackets should look like. And from then on, the idea was adapted by everyone else.

Today, tuxedos could be seen worn by everybody especially on formal occasions. Here are the most popular types of tuxedos and some guidelines on what occasion to wear them.

The first is the Full Dress Tailcoat. It is more commonly known as the White Tie. This type of tuxedo is perfect for formal evening weddings.

Another type is the Stroller. This type is often seen being worn by the attendants of the groom in a wedding. This type is great for a formal morning wedding.

A contemporary substitute for a formal occasion is the Notch Lapel Tuxedo. But the Peak Lapel Tuxedo is a more traditional alternative than the Notch Lapel plus it could be worn both in the morning as well as in the evening.

In choosing the perfect tuxedo, the body type of the man who will wear it is the utmost consideration. The tuxedo should not only show elegance but it should also flatter the one wearing the tux. It should be able to enhance the whole package.

For short, slender grooms, they should be looking for single breasted jackets that have long lines. A low button stance and wide-peak lapels lengthen the body visually.

They could also opt for double breasted jacket or delicately patterned vest and tie for a more stylish approach. The pants should always break somewhere on the top of the shoe. It should also slant a little downward at the back.

For short, stocky grooms, slim shawl collars would fit them best. Here the top button should be somewhere near the small of the waist so it will give the torso an illusion of a leaner waist.

Avoiding a more broad-shoulder styled jacket would also help. Men with this body type should stick to a more natural shoulder-lined jacket. This time the pants should reach the foot but be careful not to make the pant leg break too much on the foot else it will make it look shoddy.

Shawl collar tuxedos are best for tall, husky grooms. This would enhance the broad shoulders and the muscular body type of the men. The length of the jacket is essential. The fingertips should reach the bottom of the jacket. The shirt cuffs should also extend at least a half inch beyond the jacket sleeve.

Most people are often confused when it comes to choosing the color of their suit - confronted with a multiplicity of shades.

Bulk of the problem can be solved if you are clear in your mind what the occasion is and what is appropriate. For instance black is the only socially acceptable color for attending a funeral and any other bright color will be grossly inappropriate.

Another key factor is your own complexion and what will harmonize well with your skin tone. Experts associate colors with certain personal traits - for instance a blue pinstripe suit reflects a portrayal of power and authority where as a white suit gives off a more relaxed mood.

People also associate the color of the tuxedo suits with the changing seasons.

There is also the belief never to wear white after Labor Day and this is also true when it comes to a tuxedo suits. Tan is one color tuxedo suit often worn by many professionals during these months. Before choosing the color of your tuxedo suit, you have to study what is fashionable for each season.

Those interested in finding a color universally appropriate during any month of the year can settle for a black or charcoal colored tuxedo suit.

People who want to maintain a low profile and want to avoid being noticed in the crowd, use sober colors and light shades. Or to remain inconspicuous, you may also consider the most common and matter-of-fact shades like gray, black, navy, blue and brown.

There are the tuxedo suit colors that complement the color of your skin, your hair, eyebrows and eye hues. These colors that your physical personality reflects can connect you to your tuxedo suits. There are plenty of colors that look great on a wearer if the color blends well with his body color neutrals. If you are using colors that are not in consonance with your skin color, try to combine them in such a way with colors to maintain your overall harmony.

Tuxedo suits in one's eye colors will be flattering to wear and it will surely make heads turn at any social meet. The important point is to avoid variations of your eye color if your eyes are bright as they make your own eyes look dull.

The tuxedo is one of the most classic styles of wedding attire. And yet, most of us are unfamiliar with the nuances of how to pick the perfect tuxedo for a wedding. This handy guide to wedding tuxedos will help make finding the right attire for your wedding party a snap.

First of all, make sure that your wedding is going to be formal enough to call for tuxedos. At semi-formal weddings, a dark suit is more appropriate. Although etiquette traditionally states that tuxedos should only be worn after 6pm, they are often worn for formal daytime weddings, as they will run well into the evening hours. For a formal summer wedding, a white dinner jacket worn with black tuxedo pants can be a dashing look, although you may also run the risk of looking like the waitstaff, so be careful.

The classic all black tuxedo is appropriate for any season. Navy blue is also technically correct for tuxedos, but in reality is rarely worn. This is especially true for a wedding party, as the groomsmen are likely to be renting their attire from different shops and you would end up with a variety of shades of navy. Black is definitely safer.

There are more varieties of tuxedo jackets than you might think. The most common basic shape is the single breasted jacket, which is available with one, two, or three buttons. The fewer the number of buttons, the lower the "stance" or open area of the jacket. This can be a useful visual trick for a shorter man who wishes to elongate his appearance. For most men, the two or three button jacket is a nice choice. When it comes to buttoning a three button jacket, remember this rule of thumb, working from the top down: sometimes, always, never. In other words, you should always button the middle button, sometimes the top one, but never the bottom one.

Another option for a tuxedo jacket is the double breasted version. This is sometimes recommended for very slim men who want to appear broader. There are several disadvantages to the double breasted tux, however; for one thing, you must always keep it buttoned shut, because it does not sit well when the jacket is unbuttoned. Also, double breasted suits are not particularly in style right now, and you run the risk of looking like a mafia don.

There are other details to think about when choosing the tuxedos for your wedding. Some of these are collar shape, type of tie, cummberbund or vest, and stripe or no stripe on the trousers. There are three basic collar shapes: notched lapels, peak lapels, or shawl collars. The notched is the most subtle and the most common. A peak lapel has a stronger notch and runs a bit wider, which can be useful for men who wish to appear broader through the chest. The shawl collar is rounded, and has an old-fashioned charm.

As for the rest of the ensemble, there are a few things to keep in mind. If your style is more classic, go with a bow tie and a cummberbund. For a more modern effect, the vest paired with a straight tie will be ideal. Many people also like vests because they are an easy place to add a splash of color to the men's attire, and they also can be slimming. Whether your style is modern or classic, opt for a pleated or flat front shirt over one of those frightening ruffled ones!

Don't overlook the small details, either. You will need cufflinks and shirt studs (which can make excellent groomsmen gifts), as well as the right dress shoes and socks. If you decide to give your groomsmen cufflinks as their gifts, it is especially thoughtful to choose ones that can be monogrammed. With all of your details arranged, you can be certain that all of the men in your wedding will look debonair in their perfect tuxedos.

Men's tuxedos are so much more than your atypical black bow tie, cummerbund and black jacket - the range of styles and fashions available today is phenomenal. To learn more about the types of tuxedos available and for the events and functions for which they're suitable - keep reading.

The Traditional Tux

The traditional tuxedo is a black, single-breasted, wool suit with either shawl or peaked collars. Often, the lapels are made from satin and the buttons are also satin-covered. Depending on the style, the outward side seams of the matching pants may also feature a single inch-wide satin strip. The bow tie is always - or should always - be black.

English dinner jackets often only have one button, while American styles feature 2 to 3 buttons. This type of traditional tuxedo would be appropriate for any black tie or formal event. A traditional, black tuxedo is also typically only worn in the evening or at night and is not considered appropriate daytime wear.

Wearing Tails

Tails are extremely formal and typically only appropriate when attending a dinner with the Royal Family. The long tailcoat fashion is waning and rarely suited for most events. That said, if you're invited to a "white tie" affair, then it's expected that you will wear a black tailcoat with silk lapels.

The Morning Suit

Like tails, the morning jacket is formal, but it's designed and intended for daytime wear. For example, an afternoon wedding is appropriate for this long jacket with a wide, forked tail. If you decide to wear a morning jacket to your wedding, you should change before the evening reception into a traditional dinner jacket.

Waistcoat Style

A cummerbund is not a compulsory tuxedo accessory. Today, many contemporary styles depend on vests and waistcoats to add a splash of color or pizzazz to the traditional tux. Remember though, a waist coat is only intended for single-breasted jackets and should never be worn under a basic suit.

Contemporary and Modern Tuxedos

Depending on the event, ultra-modern or contemporary tuxedos can be very fashionable and appropriate. That said, for an ultra-formal event, you may want to stay away from Mandarin collars and other modern design touches that may come across as inappropriate.

Accessories and Accent Pieces

Walk into a men's formal shop and you'll often see a wall of accessories such as canes, gloves and hats - all designed to go with the traditional tux. However, these items are rarely appropriate and should be avoided at all costs as they're often seen as making a mockery of the event's formality. Instead, opt for a colorful handkerchief or a short scarf.

Prom night is a night for guys as well as girls to fully impress the opposite sex through their fashion. Remember though that the woman's choice always comes first (like it or not!), and you will need to coordinate with her ensemble to look best. Men will usually dress in tuxedos for prom night, but being part of one of the best-dressed couples may not be quite as simple as you think. Prom is a fun, formal affair where you can get away with some things not considered appropriate for other black tie events, but if you don't coordinate with the lady on your arm, the whole look can be disastrous-not to mention your lady won't be very happy with you! Here are three tips to ensure your date and the rest of the prom attendees will be super impressed with your fashionable skills.

Tip #1: Wait & Watch
Knowing what your date will be wearing is the backbone to picking what will look best on you. Women will love that you are actually trying to make for a picture perfect couple, so don't be shy to ask her lots of questions. The color is one of the most important things you will need to know. Consider asking her to actually come with you to the rental shop with her dress to get the best match. Chances are you will not want to match your accent colors too exactly. That can be very dated and cheesy. You will want to be sure that the two of you are dressed as a couple though and that nothing you choose clashes with her colors. If you want to surprise her, see if you can talk to her mother about kidnapping the dress when you go shopping or even getting a color sample from the store she purchased the dress. You are sure to be well rewarded for the extra effort.

Tip #2: Choose the Right Tuxedo Rental Store
While you want to choose the rental store with the best prices for same items, don't just choose a store because it is cheap. A few extra dollars to get the highest quality tux in the perfect style and colors can make a huge difference in how great you look. If you can find a tuxedo rental store that specializes in helping you match to her dress, then go for it! Moms, sisters, and female best friends of yours or hers are also great resources to tap into to help you select the perfect ensemble.

Tip #3: Choose the Perfect Accessories
Great accessories will take a tuxedo from boring to brilliant. If you want the most classic and sophisticated look, stick with all black, white and silver. Make the details in the cut, style, and pattern the statement instead of choosing some crazy color. If you are a guy who loves to wear color, then be certain that you coordinate with your date's colors, but don't go with an exact match. Don't even just guess on color. If all you know is that your date's dress is blue, don't just randomly choose any blue for your bow tie or cummerbund. You are much better sticking with black or a color like silver that goes with everything than choosing a blue that clashes instead of coordinates.

Baby Tuxedo

2010-03-05T02:11:00.000-08:00

Baby clothes can be categorized as a necessity, but there are several occasions that have the ability to make the baby the center of attention. It is only with the clothes the kid wears that the mother's fashion sense is made obvious. Here, the clothes becoming small has very little concern, it is only the style that is given the maximum importance. Tradition is not far behind.

1. The primary of these occasions is the homecoming. All mothers will be so happy to tell what she had clad her kid in when she was bringing her home. Depending on period of the year, the mom gets different outfits. It is also the sentiment that is attached to the cloth that makes the occasion as well as the outfit special. It is a great thing to do if these outfits are saved in the memory box along with the different toys and other things done for the kid. It is always important to highlight each outfit when they have been used by the kid for a special occasion. So, it requires some special attention.

2. The next big occasion is the introduction ceremony, where the kid is introduced to the family. It is important what the kid wears for the first time when it is going to meet it grandparents, uncles, aunts and other close family friends. The kid must be dressed up for posing in front of the camera for all the pictures that are going to be clicked during this occasion. Here, the weather must also be considered. And making the kid feel comfortable in all the attires it wears is very important. A cotton dress would do well during summers. And this is the time of the year when others will not hesitate to change the diapers for the kid.

3. There will be regular outings to show the baby off to the friends in a more personal fashion. During this, the kid is invariably clad in a white garment that can be seen as christening attire. The kid can be clad in a normal gown, or even a suit. One has to keep in mind that the kid will be passed around a million times on such occasions. So, it must be made sure that the kid is dressed up light and comfortable, no matter how cute the dress looks on her.

4. For occasions like this, the dressing is completely gender specific. The tuxedos and the baby suits are really good for such occasions. They can be surprisingly inexpensive at times, the tuxedos. There are penguin suits available for very low prices, for about thirty dollars. The traditional attires are also available, the suits that are worn during the baptism ceremony. They are mostly long gowns white in color. These suits are also available at down to earth prices and can be worn for any ceremony that has the kid in it.

5. The final and the most special occasion for the year, that every mother looks out for is the first birthday of the baby, that is celebrated in a grand manner. The outfit worn during the first birthday is somewhat similar to the one worn during the homecoming, but a different style can be followed for this occasion. This dress must be good enough to take stains, especially cake stains.

Wedding Tuxedo

2010-03-03T04:31:00.000-08:00

For most weddings the focus of the ceremony is the bride. Because of this the majority of the energy, with respect to the wedding outfits, is spent on picking out the brides dress, while the grooms job for the most part is to be clean, and ready for the I do's. With that said one of the questions we are asked most often is should the groom wear a suit or a tuxedo?

The Groom, The Tux and The Suit

There are plenty of pros and cons for either a wedding suit or a tuxedo, weighing them out can help with the answer in no time.

Rule of thumb is, the more traditional the wedding the more you lean towards a tuxedo. Traditional means a religious service, big guest list, Plenty of grooms men and brides maids. Tuxedos become more necessary for large parties because they can be rented. Whether you are paying for them or your Grooms men are, renting a tux can help save some dollars. Suits in general can not be rented, requiring you and wedding party to fork out major dollars in order to match. A big negative with rented tuxes is that they have a tendency to look like rented tuxes. A great way to get a better fitting tux is to get the jacket one size smaller than you usually wear. A typical rented tuxedo is big and boxy, by going one size smaller you will get a much more tailored look.

If your wedding is less traditional- IE. on the beach with close friends and family- A finely tailored suit or even a custom suit is a great way to go. A suit matches the much more relaxed feel of a non traditional wedding. Unlike a tux asking your grooms men to buy a suit will, at the very least, have some carry over value as they will be able to wear it after the event is over.

Match the attire to what the bride is wearing. If she is wearing a princess like gown with a long train, if she has suggested a fairy tale theme a tux (maybe even with tails) is the perfect way to go. Again the more formal her attire the more formal you should be too. And even with tuxedos there are varying degrees of formality as well. vintage tuxedos and custom tuxedos give you the option to get the look to match the most "fairy tale" of gowns and this is something that translates well in the wedding pictures.

If the Bride is wearing a less formal dress, no train, no veil- a suit is definitely the way to go. This can be complicated because grooms aren't allowed to see the bride. Communication is key here and you wont have any issues come the big day.

Tuxedo Tshirt

2010-03-01T05:09:00.000-08:00

Have you ever tried not to read a t-shirt? People of all cultures, nationalities, and ages wear t shirts. As popular as jeans, t shirts can be wearable art, a means of identifying with a group (such as family reunions), a forum to express political statements, religious beliefs, or preferences running from wild life to wild parties, and everything in between. The key to the popularity of t shirts lies in its ability to be whatever you want.

Using t-shirts to promote your organization, company, or business is a wise choice. Just think about how many people see and read t shirts everyday. Having people advertise for you can cost you about the same price as a brochure; except the brochure may or may not actually ever be read. And even if it is read, chances are high it will only be read by one or two people. That is definitely not the case with a t-shirt! T-shirts are read multiple times a day by multiple people. "That's true" you may say, "but how do I get people to actually wear my ad?" It doesn't have to be an ad and you are more likely to peak a person's curiosity if it is not an ad. That's the key actually; to peak curiosity. When you can peak a person's curiosity, they will do their own research. And when they do their own research, they are more willing to buy into it.

Once upon a time printing t shirts to promote businesses was 'kind of neat idea'. Now it is rare to have a business identity program without a t-shirt. Businesses and organizations that have nothing to do with the fashion industry often have t-shirts produced for corporate identity, as PR material for sales promotions and special events. Often these t-shirts are worn by staffers as uniforms at such events, distributed as souvenirs or may end-up being distributed commercially. Brand awareness is still a popular trend and even as clothing manufacturers have turned their products into promotional vehicles in and of themselves, t shirts can take that concept one step farther by being clothing that promotes other products and services.

T shirts are indeed items of clothing - and inexpensive ones at that. This is obviously why the popularity of t shirts as promotional items is what it is today. You will be hard-pressed to find anyone who will simply throw away a new piece of clothing and most people will, at the very least, give a tshirt to someone else if they themselves don't want it. However, fashion is probably a more powerful factor in this than frugality. Take the classic tuxedo t-shirt as an example; most anyone can think a fun way to use this design and customizing it with your promotional text on the back puts it to work for you instantly.

This is the essence of fashion - people seem willing to wear someone else's message because they feel it says something about themselves. When products or services are promoted in a way in which the wearer is willing to be identified, t-shirts become a ubiquitous promotional vehicle. Simply walk down any urban street in the world to see for yourself. Let's once again compare it to a brochure or flyer: if you were to mail promotional brochures to 100 potential clients perhaps 200 people will see it. But mail out 100 decent looking t shirts instead and you launch 100 walking billboards!

Tuxedo Suit

2010-02-26T18:45:00.000-08:00

It is believed that the tuxedo was first been designed by Pierre Lorillard IV while some believe it was being designed by king Edward VII. The name tuxedo has originally originated after the park name tuxedo park which is located near New York City. The prominence of this suit in the United States was around late 1880s. And later tuxes suits caught on every man's wardrobe like a wild fire in forest. The design and style of this suit is liked by every man and they prefer wearing this almost in every occasion. As time passed, many other styles and designs were bought in for tuxedo suits with various other apparel accessories.

Today it is concerned that wearing a perfect tuxedo or tux is not so important but when and where it should be worn and in which style and design is the important factor. Tux can be wore in different occasions like during your wedding ceremony,, proms or dance party, huge gatherings during the dinner party,during any traditional parties etc..

When you are purchasing tuxes see to it that they are made from finest quality material. There are many retail outlets or tailors who sell this suit or give them for rental. At your very first purchase you would not be 100% sure on what are the other accessories that go along with it. If you are about to visit the shop first time in person you will end up buying all the extra accessories which you might not require. So it is advisable to do a bit of home work ask your parents, friends, relatives, search the information on line.

To choose a right suit is quite complicated because it depends on your body type, personality and personal choice. Never get attracted by celebrity styles buy a suit which suits your personality and body type. Today in apparels market tuxes are available in many varieties and styles. Some styles which are available are

Before buying any style of tux suit you be sure on which event or occasion you are going to wear that. See to it if there is a dress code for it. While choosing the color of tux you should be sure on the timing of the function and kind of gathering that is going to take place. For example you are going to club where couples are allowed then ensure what your partner is wearing a tux because in such parties your outfit should go well with your partners outfit.

One important point to be noted is outfit differs from person to person cause of their body structure. And what style you have opted to wear should be comfortable enough in wearing it and it should be fit to your body.

The Tuxedo

2010-02-26T18:41:00.000-08:00

Wedding shopping can be a daunting prospect. Choices! Decisions! More decisions! Usually the bride takes on the bulk of the responsibility and thus, the seemingly endless and overwhelming parade of color swatches, post-it notes, phone calls and Advil. It can be extremely difficult to find answers to all the questions and so I offer my help. I have worked in the bridal industry for years, primarily with tuxedo formalwear, and I would like to give a step by step of how to go about making a tuxedo rental order a little simpler.

The initial questions before you go shopping for a tux

o Discuss what you envision. You might have very different ideas about what the ideal tuxedo will look like? If you disagree, come to a reasonable compromise before you get to the store. Continuing the argument in front of the salesperson can be somewhat uncomfortable.

o Do you know what color the bridesmaid dresses will be? If so bring a color swatch. Just because the dress is labeled as celadon doesn't mean that the celadon vest you're looking at will match.

Note: A color swatch is a lifesaver, bring it with you to all your major decision making appointments that involve your color scheme. The color might be pretty close but could look awful in pictures if it's not quite right. As overwhelming as it sounds, all the color matching for every part of the wedding should be done simultaneously. The color of the dress might be perfect with the flowers but won't match the chair covers and none of them will match the vests. The color selection will vary from item to item and most times will not overlap. Making a final decision only to have to change it three weeks later because it was impossible to match with something else is not a headache that you should put on yourself.

The Steps

1. Make appointment to come in for a color matching and style consultation. It's ok if you need some time to think about it but please-please-please don't make the consultant write down styles and names if you are not 100% sure about staying with that rental shop. If you still plan on shopping around, be honest, you might even get an extra discount for incentive to stay.

2. Once you have decided, make sure you have all information ready; what are the names, what their position will be (i.e.groomsmen,usher, ect) and who will be wearing what. The final decision can be made as far in advance as you want but should be at least three months before the wedding.

3. Assuming that all the groomsmen have already been asked and agreed to be in the wedding (don't laugh, grooms will put off this sort of thing for months if not kept in check) they should start coming into the store to get measured. All fittings should be completed by the date specified by that rental facility. Some can be as early as two months prior or as late as two weeks prior to wedding. Keep on top of those guys!! Most will likely forget or put it off until the day before the deadline. That deadline is there for your protection to ensure that all the styles in the colors you want are available in the sizes of your groomsmen.

Note: If you are getting married during the peak season keep this in mind: There are more than likely at least a dozen other bridal parties that have ordered that same Calvin Kline two- button wool for the same weekend. If your whole bridal party consists of average sized guys wearing a 40R coat you want to make sure that your order is places as soon as possible. Waiting until the last minute not only creates problems for the formal wear associate (and believe me when I say problems) but is difficult for the groomsmen who may be forced to wear whatever size is available or wear a different style. Although the establishment will hopefully bend over backwards to help, it's a situation best avoided altogether.

4. Check up on the groomsmen over those between months but also keep in touch with the formal wear associate. They have all the information about who has come in, who hasn't paid yet and where in the order process you party is. Be involved or make sure your groom in involved, but no need to go overboard.......

5. Once everything is ordered and confirmed, rest easy until the big day!

6. Depending of the type of rental shop you purchased from, the tuxes will generally be ordered from a larger parent warehouse and shipped to the shop a couple days before the wedding. Be sure your groomsmen are aware of the arrival date and know that they must try them on. There are no guarantees that the tux will fit perfectly based solely on measurements and the tux associate cannot help them if unaware of the problem. Measurements are necessary of course but they are just the first step as there are many different styles and cuts (i.e. classic cut, athletic, suit) and all have different proportions. The tuxes are typically in the store on the Wednesday or Thursday before the event and should be tried on immediately. If there are issues, some can be fixed on the spot while you wait but some replacements aren't available in house and must be reordered from the warehouse. 24hrs is standard for most companies but if the issue isn't brought to anyone's attention until the day before the wedding without time for shipping, there really isn't a whole lot that can be done. The tuxedo manager in me wants to remind you that most sales consultants genuinely want to make sure everything goes smoothly and they have already put a lot of time and effort into your order. Some things are unavoidable and I'm certainly not discounting human error, but if there were a problem verbal abuse would not be the best step towards finding a solution. There is almost always an answer but you must do your part to make sure all members of your party do theirs so the tuxedo professionals can smooth out the transition from try-on to wedding ready.

7. The final step up to you. Have a fantastic wedding day because at the end of it you are still going to be married and if that level of perfection you were aiming for wasn't a possibility (it does happen, sorry) take time to remember the things that did go off without a hitch and not the ones that were a little less than your expectations.

Tuxedo Shoes

2010-02-26T18:30:00.000-08:00

If you're getting married soon and want to find the perfect gift for your groomsmen, tuxedo shoes make a wonderful and practical choice. Tuxedo shoes are needful for the wedding to complete each groomsman's tuxedo ensemble. And instead of having them rent or buy the shoes on their own, you can offer to buy these as a thank you gift for all their help during this most precious event.

Groomsmen often get overlooked when it comes to wedding party gifts. But they really put forth a lot of effort to help out before, after and during the wedding. Groomsmen usually plan the bachelor's party, grit their teeth while being fitted for tuxedos, usher in all the wedding guests, write speeches, and some even help with loading / unloading furnishings and gift items for the wedding or the big move into the couple's new home. These guys often do a lot more than they receive credit for, so why not show them a little extra appreciation by giving them some fantastic tuxedo shoes they can wear again and again!

Tuxedo Shoe Choices

One thing you'll discover quickly is tuxedo shoes come in many styles, shapes and colors. The key is to find tuxedo shoes that will not only complement the tuxedos, but will also match other suits the guys might wear in the future. Don't overdo it with fashion. Avoid shoes that are so fancy or uncomfortable that they'll never leave the recipient's closet again after the wedding. Look for practical styles with comfort features that appeal to men....easy to slip on/off, easy to lace and easy on the heels.

Toe styles include a round toe or square toe style. Round toe tuxedo shoes give a more traditional look; square toe shoes give more of a contemporary look and feel. Many men prefer the square toe because of comfort, but you'll want to go with the style that looks best with your groomsmen's wedding attire.

Tuxedo shoe materials include real patent leather or faux patent leather. With real leather, there's more breathing ability and flexibility. Faux patent leather shoes cost less and are available in a variety of styles. Regular, or matte, leather is popular for the traditional formal look and feel while wingtips are less formal.

Other things to consider include whether to buy slip-on or lace-up tuxedo shoes, whether to buy a solid color or multi-colored shoes, and whether to opt for embellishments to decorate the shoes, such as sashes.

The best way to buy tuxedo shoes for your groomsmen is to allow each to try them on and give feedback. Go with the shoes that offer the most comfort while also complementing the groomsmen's attire. Go with the shoes that most of your groomsmen can agree on.

Save Dollars on Tuxedo Shoes

To stay within your budget, shop online to find a variety of tuxedo shoes at affordable prices. They start as low as $22 but prices vary greatly with brands. Look for bargains online for dependable brands such as Perry Ellis, but be sure to get the sizes correct for each groomsman. Place your order as early as possible in case you have to exchange the shoes for any reason.

Keep in mind that tuxedo shoes can be worn during other special events...possibly another wedding, a black tie engagement, an important ceremony, elegant business dinners, and church services.

Tuxedo Shirts

2010-02-26T18:25:00.000-08:00

A tuxedo is a perfect outfit for many occasions. Although a few men attempt to get by with an evening shirt featuring a simple turndown collar and French cuffs, it is advisable to wear a proper tuxedo shirt.

While a tuxedo shirt is normally white in color, off-white is acceptable as well. Pleated shirts are given preference as they have a more formal appearance although shirts that do not have pleats may feature some texture, like piqué, to give it a crisp and luxurious look. Shirts that are commonly worn with a tuxedo include those with a wing collar, turndown collar and mandarin collar.

A wing-collar shirt; a shirt with a stand-up collar that has ends, which are folded over to create "wings"; is found in the traditional tuxedo shirt. It is generally coupled with a bow tie and cummerbund, and sometimes with an ascot. Tabs are by and large worn behind the tie.

The bow tie is a fashion accessory, popularly worn with other formal attire, such as suits or dinner jackets, most commonly by men. It consists of a ribbon of fabric tied around the collar in a symmetrical manner such that the two opposite ends form loops

A turndown-collar shirt is a formal shirt with a collar similar to a business-style dress shirt. It is generally accessorized with a bow tie. This style can be worn with a tuxedo although it is less official than a winged-collar shirt.

The mandarin-collar shirt is a new style of formal shirt featuring a short band collar only about one inch high, expressly designed to be worn without a tie. The shirt's top button can be adorned with a button cover.

A band-collar shirt is a tuxedo shirt without a collar. This shirt can have a pleated or plain front. It is worn with either a button cover or collar band. Although people believe that the band-collar is a dress shirt, it is a casual style and hence not appropriate for weddings and funerals.

Tuxedo formal wear suits are available for your purchase and for your rental needs. Going out on the town for a splashy evening meal with a hot date, you can look your best in a tuxedo. She may not expect you to be so dressed, but the ultimate effect is one that will give you an appeal that she just can't refuse.

When a regular suit, and tie are just not going to cut it. Get in to the social world by dressing the part, and this will include a tuxedo that is tailored to fit your personal size and your personal preferences.

If you are getting ready to go out on a date with a star you most likely are going to need tuxedo formal wear.

You can choose to dress according to the "traditional" or "modern" approach:

For an afternoon wedding, a traditional black tuxedo is perfect. You can go for a single breasted tuxedo jacket without coattails. Wearing a tuxedo vest and a tie instead of a bow tie and cummerbund for an afternoon wedding would be more appropriate. You can wear an ivory colored tuxedo vest or try some other colors and choose the one you like the most.

For a very formal evening, you can wear a black tailcoat and matching accessories.

Single breasted black tuxedo jackets are suitable for men who are short and slim whereas double breasted jackets with a vest and a tie will render a handsome look. If you are the sporty kind with a muscular build, shawl collar tuxedos would fit best. Slim and tall grooms can select any type of tuxedo. The bottom line is to go for a well-tailored tuxedo that follows the lines of the body.
When it comes to wearing a tux, you can experiment a bit with accessories and change your look accordingly. You can wear a different type of shirt like a winged tip shirt, laydown shirt or a mandarin shirt. You can wear a bow tie and cummerbund or a four-in-hand tie with a tuxedo vest. You can also buy new cufflinks and studs.
