The
Fall TV schedule is heavy with makeover reality shows and the increase in
these types of programs and the large audiences they pull confirms that our
society loves a good makeover. Although most couples won't get an extreme
makeover before their wedding day, they may opt for teeth whitening, a spray
on tan or acrylic nails. But one often overlooked way to feel "made-over" and look like a million bucks is to have the groom and men in your wedding
party wear tuxedos for the big day. The men's fall fashion designer shows
for 2005 presented diverse ideas and styles with a focus on more
individuality. The same trend holds true for fall formals. The groom can
still wear the quintessential black multi-button tuxedo but add unique
accessories for an attention getting, personalized image update.

Men's
retailers are showing a variety of looks for men for fall and black is back.
This is a trend that has crossed over into the formalwear arena as well.
Bill Tzizik, CEO Classic Tuxedo said, "Designers like Ralph Lauren showed
wearable clothes for fall while other designers preferred to show tailored
suits.
There was something for everyone. You can pair a tailored tuxedo with soft,
silky accessories or add a French cuff shirt to dress up a more easy-going
style. It's all about creating a personal look."

Since
most couples won't hire an image consultant or fashion stylist before the
wedding day, you can rely on your tuxedo specialist to help you put together
a high fashion look. The experts at Classic Tuxedo offer some tips on the
latest trends for fall.
|
- Black is still the most popular tuxedo color.
- Multi-button looks with notch lapels from designers like Calvin
Klein, Ralph Lauren and Matteo Maas are hot.
- Non-pleated (plain front) trousers are in and always have a satin
side stripe.
- Laydown collar, non-pleated shirts are popular and Tallia Uomo's
microfiber shirts are soft and resist heavy wrinkling.
- Vests with subtle patterns like Cornell's herringbone weave or
twill offer full back styling so if you take your tuxedo jacket off, the
vest will look good from the front or back.
- Vest colors are endless and vests can be worn with your choice of
bow tie, Windsor tie or cravat.
- Matt finish square toe shoes and a pocket square add a masculine
touch.
- For an ultraformal look without going the way of full dress tails,
wear a French cuff shirt, a self-tie bow tie and add some mother-of-pearl
or black onyx cuff links and studs.

Another way to personalize your wedding is the addition of the words
"black tie optional," "black tie invited"," black tie preferred," or simply,
"black tie" to your wedding invitation. Why not have your guests share the
exciting experience that wearing a tuxedo brings? They might like to feel
"made-over" too.
