Modern wedding dresses for both the bride and groom are amazing. But in the case of men's suits, the wedding tuxedo is still the most popular. Correctly selected clothes can radically change a person’s image, especially if you carefully select additional elements and accessories. How to choose the best tuxedo for a wedding?
Varieties
Traditionally, there are single-breasted and double-breasted options. At the moment, the image of the groom is most often associated with a single-breasted frock coat with one or three buttons. This is due to the fact that this style allows you to hide figure flaws and reduce the waist, which in most cases benefits the groom. In addition, if the wedding tuxedo for the groom is selected in length to the middle of the thigh, this will allow you to visually add a few centimeters to your height. As for colors, men prefer classic models in black or asphalt gray.
A double-breasted men's tuxedo is also quite common, since if it is chosen according to the figure, it will give the man solidity and attractiveness. When choosing such a model, you should definitely look at the lapels, since a classic or rectangular version is more suitable for a slender figure, while a shawl one will allow you to expand the chest. In most cases, it is also better to choose classic colors: black, gray, some shades of brown.
In the warm season, it is preferable to wear a tuxedo in light shades.
The color of the suit may also depend on the season during which the celebration takes place. In winter, a dark tuxedo will look better, but this does not mean that it must be strictly black. Dark brown and blue colors are also suitable, they will look moderately stylish and extravagant. In warmer times of the year, you can choose a white suit, but in this case it is advisable to match the entire look to one color or immediately try to play with contrast by choosing lapels that set off the main tone. But you shouldn’t create a sharp contrast, so you don’t need to choose a dark shirt with a white jacket, as this will lead to complete disharmony in the image.
Tuxedo these days
The end of the 20th century marked a change in formal suiting, and the tuxedo began to incorporate unusual colors. Although strict adherence to the dress code has not disappeared. Indeed, despite the long history of the existence of this suit and constantly updated collections, the most profitable option is considered to be a black or dark blue tuxedo. This is especially true for the groom, since suits in classic colors will be easier to combine with the bride’s dress. Light shades are very rare and are not suitable for everyone.

What to wear with it
Like most wedding attributes, the groom's clothing is subject to strict etiquette. The groom can wear a tuxedo with:
- silk shirt;
- trousers with silk stripes;
- vest;
- thin leather shoes.
Choosing a three-piece suit for the groom will emphasize his solidity and severity, giving the whole image completeness. But at the same time, it is important to choose the right clothes so that everything together looks like a single whole, and not disparate parts. Therefore, the trousers must be made of the same material as the jacket. At the same time, the vest and shoes do not have to be the same color as the tuxedo. The shirt must be white and preferably made of silk, as this is the traditional fabric for such occasions.
It is important to understand that tuxedos for men are selected immediately together with trousers, because they must be made of the same fabric in order to create a single image together. Silk stripes should not be wide, as this will prevent them from matching the material of the lapels. When choosing trousers, you need to pay attention to the following details:
- Silk or satin are best for trousers;
- the length should be slightly shorter than classic trousers;
- The width of the trouser leg should be average: not too narrow, but not too wide;
- There should be no more than three tucks.
The image of the groom should complement the image of the bride, so if she decided to choose a dress in an avant-garde style, then the wedding tuxedo for the groom may differ slightly from its classic version. The same applies to trousers: you can take them somewhat tapered and without stripes, especially if the jacket is single-breasted, which is considered more modern.
It is important to choose the right clothes so that everything looks cohesive.
As for the shirt, the classic option here would be a white silk shirt. At the front, the corners of the collar are covered by lapels, and at the back, no more than a centimeter is visible. In the sleeves it can be 1-2 cm longer than the tuxedo, the buttons are covered with a placket.
Shoes complement and beautifully complete a men's wedding look. It is advisable to choose them a little darker in tone than a tuxedo. But still they should remain in the same color palette with the image. It is worth understanding that you cannot find a more formal option than patent leather shoes.
How to choose a tuxedo for the groom
Of course, this type of costume requires responsibility. For example, an upright posture is one of the main conditions for wearing a tuxedo, so the groom should at least practice wearing it correctly. But besides this, there are nuances that effortlessly make a tuxedo an ideal option for a wedding. When choosing a tuxedo, you need to pay attention to the fact that it is single-breasted, then the suit will slim the figure while maintaining masculinity. The length of the jacket should be approximately slightly above mid-thigh, which also gives the figure a special stateliness. The trousers can be tapered with thin stripes, but, as a rule, they choose classic straight-cut options, the length of which reaches the middle of the heel of the shoes. The pants gather slightly in the front, which gives the look a natural look. An important rule for the bottom of the suit is that you cannot wear a belt; the trousers must fit well on their own.
When to wear it is not recommended
If we talk about a wedding tuxedo, then it can be worn not only for this celebration, but also for other official events. However, such an outfit is not suitable for informal meetings and everyday wear. Most actors appear in this look on the red carpet, the premieres of their films, and this suggests that such an outfit is not suitable for wearing on an ordinary day.
In addition, most often the groom's outfit is selected in accordance with the bride's outfit, so most often it does not look so advantageous separately. This fact also needs to be taken into account when choosing a suit for a formal event.
A little history
Often, a tuxedo is not distinguished from a tailcoat, although these two suits have fundamentally different histories. Surprisingly, for a long time the tuxedo was not a formal outfit at all. The fact is that a tuxedo (from the English smoke - to smoke) was originally a special robe that men wore over a business suit when going into the smoking room to protect the expensive fabric from tobacco smoke. The tuxedo became an official costume thanks to Edward VII, Prince of Wales, who first wore it for a public appearance in 1865. And already in 1886, the tuxedo became a popular formal attire in America thanks to millionaire James Brown Potter. True, due to the fact that the man first appeared in it at the New York club Tuxedo, the tuxedo began to be called a tuxedo. The introduction of the new term finally secured the status of a privileged costume for the tuxedo. In addition, a tuxedo was much more comfortable than a bulky tailcoat, so it quickly took root as an outfit for social events.
Matching Accessories
One of the classic accessories is cufflinks, which can emphasize the elegance of an image and give it laconic features. Usually, silver or gold accessories are chosen, thanks to which the appearance of the shirt and tailcoat becomes more attractive and elegant. If the bow tie is a different color from the tuxedo, then the cufflinks should highlight this point, so they should be selected not to match the general tone, but to match a specific item of clothing.
A pocket square goes not only with a silk shirt, but also sets off the bride's dress.
Another commonly seen accessory is the pocket square. They are combined not only with a silk shirt, but also set off the bride’s dress. In general, such an accessory emphasizes the elegance of the image, making the groom a real English gentleman. Some people prefer to choose a dark scarf to match the belt, which is more suitable for a modern wedding. Sometimes you can choose a bright accessory, but in this case the bride should also have something of a similar color, thanks to this the image of the newlyweds will feel more complete and unified.
Modern grooms often pay attention to wide belts, which they choose instead of a vest. Such an accessory can be either the same tone as the jacket, or stand out against its background along with a tie or bow-tie, creating a bright contrast. Thanks to this, the groom’s waist is highlighted, allowing him to keep his back more straight and emphasize his appearance.
Mandatory accessories for the groom are a bow tie, cufflinks and a scarf or boutonniere.
Almost no men's wedding look is complete without a scarf or bow tie. You can choose either a plain or contrasting option - in this matter everything depends purely on the taste of the groom. But in the absence of a cummerbund, it is advisable to choose a bow tie that matches other accessories: a scarf, a belt and cufflinks.

Where did the idea for the wedding come from?
The idea itself came to the couple while inspecting the hall where the ceremony was to take place. Ciara declared that she would never go down such a passage. “Go yourself,” she joked. "Sure, not a problem. “I’ll pass,” Bobby replied. So a fleeting joke became the start for a grandiose action.
The girl always loved to wear trousers. She even went on dates in jeans, and Bobby almost never saw her wearing skirts. He once even teased his beloved: “Maybe you should wear a tuxedo instead of a dress to the wedding?” Ciara replied that it would be even more convenient for her. Soon the couple returned to this issue. The idea of changing outfits for the ceremony fascinated both of them. However, the lovers agreed to remain silent about their plans for the time being, so as not to shock the others.
