Tuxedo Tips for the Perfectly Groomed Groom Fit To avoid mishaps on that special day, all of the men should try on their tuxedos (including studs and cufflinks) before leaving the formalwear specialist’s store. If any adjustments are required they can be done on the spot to ensure the best formalwear experience. Jackets Regardless of style, jackets should fit comfortably through the chest and shoulders. The jacket sleeve should end where your thumb meets your wrist and just about a 1/2" of shirt cuff should extend past the jacket sleeve. Pants The perfect length pant leg breaks slightly on top of the shoe and angles a bit downward in back. Some men like a small break and some men like a full break. Shoes Black formal socks and shoes should be worn with a black or dark-colored tuxedo. White socks and shoes should be worn with a white tuxedo. There are many shoe styles available from basic to contemporary models in lace up or slip on. Accessories Vests are the most popular accessory today and are available in dozens of colors and styles for any occasion. With so many choices in neckwear you can select formal neckties, ascots, bow ties or cravats. All are appropriate for any occasion. Usually they match or offer a contrast such as a stripe pattern to compliment the vest. For a more conservative or traditional look cummerbunds are also available. Jewelry Formal cuff links are always appropriate and if you select a bow tie for your neckwear then you will want to wear a set of studs to button up the front of your shirt with style. Usually the studs match the cuff links. |
