Fashions come and go with the seasons but
the tuxedo is always in style for a wedding. Today, the black
tuxedo is appropriate to wear any time of day or year. Unique and
stylish accessory options continually change to conform to the
tastes of current society and to reflect the season of one's
wedding. This spring, look to color and lightweight fabrics to
personalize and accessorize your wedding tuxedo.

 Cutaways and strollers with their striped
trousers and ascots or four-in-hand ties are still popular choices
for formal daytime weddings; and black full dress tails with a
white pique shirt, vest and bow tie are still the ultimate in
"black tie" for very formal evening weddings. But the truth is,
the black tuxedo worn year round is always a good look, day or
night. For a spring or summer wedding a white or ivory dinner
jacket can be worn for a cool, breezy look.

Here are some formalwear trends for spring that'll help you
make a style statement:

Black is still the favorite color choice for tuxedo jackets.
"Two, three and four-button, single-breasted notch jackets by
designers like Monsieur Givenchy and Claiborne continue to be
popular choices for weddings," said Bill Tzizik, CEO of Classic
Tuxedo INC. But for the groom who wants a tuxedo that looks and
feels like no other, the Matteo Maas tuxedo collection is for him.
This tuxedo is only available in Boston, Beverly Hills, Italy,
France, Germany, England, Canada and Australia. It's made of a
high grade, super 120 wool for a silky soft, lightweight feel.
Unlike the shiny satin found on tuxedo jacket lapels and leg
braid, the Matteo Maas has a material called grosgrain, a silk
like fabric with crosswise ribs. The buttons are also covered in
grosgrain for a luxurious look. For spring and summer weddings, an
alternative to the black tuxedo is the dinner jacket. The After
Six Ivory Postino single-breasted shawl collar dinner jacket has a
breezy feel and looks great when paired with an ivory shirt,
formal trousers that feature a plain non-pleat flat front, black
satin fullback vest and traditional bow tie.

Bill Tzizik, CEO of Classic Tuxedo INC., said, "Non-pleated,
microfiber, laydown collar shirts from manufacturers like Tallia
Uomo are popular now because they feel incredibly like silk and
they don't wrinkle." And for the first time in over 15 years, the
laydown collar shirt is being chosen over the wing collar. Grey or
off-white shirts have become a hip alternative to white.

 Backless vests and cummerbunds are out while high button,
fullback vests are in. A popular choice for spring is the Bellagio
Vest Collection by Mel Howard. It features subtle sharkskin fabric
with a barely noticed nailhead design in 13 colors, sure to
coordinate with any bridesmaid dress. The high button front vest
complements new neckwear styles.

|
|
|
The Windsor tie, a wide necktie worn in a loose bow is a popular
choice in neckwear right now and is available in a host of colors
and patterns. But back by popular demand is the epitome of elegance,
the bow tie.

|
Patent leather shoes look best with a tuxedo. Square toe lace-up
styles are currently in vogue and are a perfect finish to your
formal wardrobe.
|
|
|
|
Cuff links and studs, pocket squares and hats are details that
never go out of style and are worn any time of day, any time of
year. Let your formalwear expert help you choose the details to
personalize your look.

|
|
With the understanding of what's appropriate to wear and what
styles are hot, it's easy to put together a formal wedding look with
flair to spare.
