Shopping for tuxedos can feel intimidating—it’s a huge investment with a lot to consider. There are numerous styles to choose from and additional pieces to complete the look, such as the vest, shirt, ties, and cufflinks.

What to Look for in a Tuxedo

Color

Dustin Sitar, managing editor at The Groom Club, says it's safest to stick to dark colored tuxedos, like black or navy, because they work for all seasons. However, if you are going to a spring or summer wedding, you can experiment with lighter colors, like pastels or grays. Some grooms may even prefer a white tuxedo.

Shipping & Returns

The most important thing to look for when shopping for a tux is to ensure it's the right fit. In the ideal world, you would go in store to get measured and fitted. But when shopping online, it's important to check the brand's individual size guides as each brand's sizing is slightly different. Sitar recommends ordering a couple sizes if you're unsure, so look for sites with flexible return policies. We love how Nordstrom offers both free shipping and returns without a strict cutoff. You can also order from a site like Indochino, which makes every tuxedo based on your measurements.

Style

While a classic black suit and a tuxedo may seem very similar in construction, it's the tuxedo's special details like satin-faced lapels, leg stripes, and covered buttons that make it the pinnacle of men's formal wear. What's more, tuxedos come in many different silhouettes, colors, and textures to complement all styles. Looking for something statement-making? Opt for a tux crafted from bright prints and textured fabrics like velvet and jacquard. For grooms whose tastes gravitate towards classic styles with a hint of vintage flair, go for tuxes with double-breasted jackets. And for those with a traditional sensibility, a tried and true classic black tux paired with a matching bow tie and a classic spread collar shirt will never go out of style.

FAQ
  • Do I have to wear a black tuxedo to a black-tie wedding?

    No, you don't! While black is a classic choice for formal tailoring, many grooms, groomsmen, and wedding guests choose to wear colorful or statement-making tuxedos to a black-tie wedding.

  • Do I need to wear a cummerbund and vest with a tuxedo?

    This is entirely up to you! Some wedding guests choose to skip the cummerbund and vest for a more modern and effortless look.

  • Can I wear a suit to a black-tie wedding?

    If a wedding calls for black-tie attire, you are typically expected to wear a tuxedo. If the wedding is black-tie optional, then you can opt to wear a suit instead of a tuxedo.
