Chicago Formal Wear and Tuxedos

Thankfully finding the right wedding tuxedo is a little less of a job than finding the wedding dress. However, if you don't go to the best formal wear stores you're not going to find that one special tuxedo that looks fantastic on your body. You want to the tux that transforms you into the James Bond of the wedding reception. This is one of the only times in your life that everyone will be zoning in on you, so hopefully you've been keeping up with your late-night workout!

They say the bride is the main focus of the wedding. But you don't want to fade into the background! You'll be by her side all night long and people will be snapping pictures left and right. You want to look amazing and feel comfortable. Too loose of a jacket will make you look sloppy, while too tight will make you look awkward. Buy a tuxedo and have it tailored to your body. You'll be happy you did. If money is tight and you can't buy, there are cheap wedding tuxedos fashioned out of quality material for sale. Look around before settling on a tuxedo rental. A good tuxedo will last you a lifetime.

For the most formal look you should go with a black full dress tuxedo tailcoat with a white tuxedo vest and white tuxedo tie. This is as formal as it gets! You can even add accessories such as canes or gloves to this ensemble. Visit the formal wear stores here at Chicago Bridal Site and see pictures of wedding tuxedos with hats. Imagine wearing a top hat to your wedding! A traditional formal evening tuxedo typically consists of a simple white or black dinner jacket. For day-time weddings, look at a cutaway coat with striped tuxedo trousers, combined with a striped vest and tie for an extremely formal look. For something less dramatic, try striped trousers with a pearl-white tuxedo vest with a white lay-down color shirt and a four-in-hand tuxedo tie.

For a more contemporary style try going with wedding tuxedos that have a wide selection in multiple buttons and different size lapels. You can experiment with tuxedo lengths and see what looks best. Wear a distinctive vest with a unique pattern. There are a few combinations and choices to make, but keep in mind that simpler is classier. The groomsmen will already be wearing colorful or patterned vests to match the bridesmaids. You want to be singularly distinctive from the rest of the wedding party.

Getting your groomsman's measurements is helpful especially if they live out of town. This way all the formal wear will be rented or purchased from the same place so there won't be any surprises the day of the wedding! The worst thing would be someone in the bridal party standing out like a sore thumb. Make your wedding day special and buy yourself a handsome tuxedo from one of our Chicago tuxedo vendors!
