You’ll want to look as dapper as possible when you marry the love of your life and that’s where wedding tuxes go a long way to making you look like a prince. But wedding tuxes aren’t the only thing you need to consider if you want to look great for your bride. Accessories help a formal suit into something outstanding. Paying attention to your accessories can help you look the best you can for your fiancee.
Unless you’re going for the somewhat dated band collar, you’re going to need a necktie. And thanks to the many different styles of wedding tuxes, you also have a few choices when it comes to choosing neck wear. For your wedding day, it’s best to stick with something conservative in regards to variety of colors and patterns. A few ideas to consider are a silver tie goes well with a black tuxedo. You can even get away with a well done weave or a stripe. For ultra formal wedding tuxes, go for a white tie. Black ties always look formal and bow ties tend to look slightly more formal than long neckties. Colored ties work for groomsmen if you’re trying to match them to the bridesmaids. They also work for less formal weddings.
Vests are a better choice than cummerbunds, although both allow you to set your suit apart. Vests are also known as waistcoats. You can choose a standard black or white or pick more colors. White tends to be more formal and should be paired with white neck wear. With your typical rental of wedding tuxes, you’ll find the backless vests are most common. It may, however, be worth it to spend a little more for the vest with a back because it’s more stylish and looks better when you remove your jacket.
A cummerbund is pleated fabric worn at the waist in a band. They are never worn with a vest and are used instead of a waistcoat. The ruffles stay up and the color should compliment the other colors in your wedding party, although basic black is the safest bet. Do not walk around without your jacket when wearing a cummerbund because you’ll only succeed in looking poorly groomed and unkempt.
Make sure you choose a great pair of shoes. It’s essential for the complete formal and groomed looking of wedding tuxes. You can wear shoes you already own as long as they match, do not have adornments and are in good shape. Otherwise you can either buy an elegant patent leather shoe or rent a pair. Shoes need to be polished to a rich shine so that they look the best they possibly can.
Little details such as cuff links and a stud set can really do wonders for the look of all sorts of wedding tuxes. They may be tiny flourishes, but they can make a big statement. You can go with a classic shape for your cuff links or pick something custom designed to match your hobbies or personal interests.
Stud sets on formal shirts are used in place of buttons. They often come with the rental of wedding tuxes, but the quality is typically poor. If you want to use stud set, you can buy your own and make sure they either match or compliment your cuff links for a fully finished look.
