How Should a Wedding Tuxedo Fit?
Fit can make the difference between looking like you’ve simply put on formalwear and looking exceptional but with a hire tuxedo inevitably, there are some limitations.
Ideally the jacket should sit cleanly across your shoulders without pulling or collapsing. The collar should sit neatly against your shirt, and the jacket should create a flattering silhouette without feeling restrictive. Your shirt cuff should show slightly beneath the jacket sleeve, while your trousers should sit cleanly through the seat and leg. The exact silhouette depends on your build and preferences. Slimfit doesn’t automatically mean better — particularly if it creates pulling, creasing or discomfort.
Remember that you’ll be wearing your tuxedo for hours. You’ll sit, stand, eat, hug people and hopefully spend plenty of time on the dance floor. A great tuxedo should look sharp and allow you to enjoy your wedding.
Common Tuxedo Mistakes Grooms Make
One of the biggest mistakes is choosing a tuxedo because it looks good on somebody else without considering whether it suits your own wedding.
Other common mistakes include:
• Wearing a tuxedo that is too tight.
• Choosing trousers that are too long.
• Over-accessorising.
• Trying to match every element of the wedding colour scheme.
• Wearing casual shoes with a very formal tuxedo.
• Assuming all black suits are tuxedos.
• Forgetting to consider how the outfit will look once the jacket comes off.
• Leaving fittings until the last minute.
