Tuxedos are meant for evening events only, so your groom wouldn't wear one for a morning or afternoon wedding. If you're planning to marry during the day, a suit would be a better option for your groom's attire.
If you're planning to have a black-tie wedding , a tuxedo is a must for your groom. It's the most polished option, and you'll want your groom to set the tone that this is a very formal event. If you set black-tie as your wedding dress code, you'll likely have a several guests arrive wearing tuxedos, and the last thing you want is for anyone to look more formal than your groom.
Men are more likely to get additional use out of a suit than out of a tuxedo, making a suit a more reasonable expense for most. That said, it is possible to rent a nice tuxedo and it's often a more affordable option than purchasing a new suit.
When it comes down to making the final call, personal preference will likely play a big part in your groom's decision. Tuxedo shirts come with traditional pointed or wing collars, and you can pick either one. Decide if you want a simple or pleated front — either is acceptable. Make sure that the shirt is finished with French cuffs and that you are wearing cufflinks to complete the look.
The only accessories that you need for a tuxedo are the traditional pieces: a cummerbund or a vest, a bowtie and shiny shoes. Make sure that the pleats on the cummerbund are facing up.
If you're wearing a double-breasted tuxedo jacket that will remain buttoned, then the cummerbund is unnecessary. There is no need to accessorize further. Need help with color matching?

Choose black or white braces in fabric, rather than in leather, or in any case they should be matching the colour of the tuxedo.
Wear shiny black or matte laced shoes. Even embroidered slippers can suit you fine in this case, just do not wear shoes that contains too many details. Wear the vest if the jacket is fitted with pointed peaked lapels and the satin cummerbund with shawl lapels. Customise the tuxedo with satin or twill details like the lapels and the iconic side band of the trousers. Finally, wear a white pocket square in linen or cotton.
Some men love to experiment in the look with red or burgundy silk pocket square, but a little creativity is what makes each look sharp but unique. Thanks for pointing out that when wearing a tux it is better to opt for welt pockets, they are more formal than the flap pockets.
My husband is thinking about renting a tux for a wedding that we are going to because the invitation says black tie. I have had custom and off the rack tuxedos- own two now: a custom black notch collar and a midnight blue shawl collar off the rack from CT. Custom is great, not just for sizing, but because you can customize pockets, trims, buttons, etc.
Both came with suspender buttons. The tuxedo should be worn only in the evening. A wedding is one of the possible events when to wear a tuxedo. A made-to-measure tuxedo by Lanieri. The most common lapels for a tuxedo jacket: shawl left and peaked right. A white shirt with wingtip collar, to be worn with black bow tie, is a no-brainer. David Johnson says:. Mark says:.
