After you’ve popped the big question (and gotten a big answer!), as the groom, you’ll have some important questions to answer yourself. When it comes to attire, one of the big questions remains–suit or tux? We’ll walk you through the process, explaining some of the differences in formality and style, so you’ll be ready to continue walking right down the aisle. No matter what you choose, we know you’ll feel great celebrating this memorable day.
The Tuxedo
The epitome of formalwear, the tux is a timeless classic. Traditionally worn for black-tie affairs and evening events, it signals one thing: THIS is a special event.
When to select a tux:
-
Your invitation says black tie.
-
The ceremony is after 5:00 pm.
-
The venue is ultra formal (think historic ballroom or luxury hotel).
-
You want to channel the ultimate level of polish, perhaps releasing your inner James Bond.
The tuxedo sets the tone for an elegant atmosphere, perfect for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
The Suit
You can’t go wrong with a well-tailored suit. They are perfect for daytime weddings, outdoor ceremonies or more casual venues. With so many options, your suit will easily reflect your own personal style. And, thanks to a selection of fabrics, cuts and color, your suit will match the season and the setting of your special day.
When to choose a suit:
-
The dress code is cocktail, semi-formal or casual.
-
Your wedding ceremony is outside–from the beach to barn to backyard.
-
You want to wear your suit again and again.
While not as formal, with the right fabric, fit and accessories, a bespoke suit can feel as elegant and special as a tux, because it is made just for you.
