What type of guy is the groom? Does he like to dress up or does he hate putting on a tie? Does he stand out in the crowd or blend in? Once you can answer these type of questions about your fiancé, you can move forward with his attire. After all, the bride is going to look fabulous. Shouldn’t the groom look fantastic as well?

The tuxedo has been a constant in men’s dress for hundreds of years even though it has evolved over time. The fit is essential. The jacket will fit tighter than his everyday wardrobe but it should not pull or feel uncomfortable. The pants should sit at the natural waist (approximately one inch below the bellybutton) and the cuff of the pant should fall to the top of the heel of the shoe. Your tuxedo shirt should fit like a normal dress shirt, but you will be wearing it all day so make sure the collar is a little looser.

Men are a lot more fashion conscious than they used to be. With the wide variety of options in formalwear they also have more choices than they used to. Whether the groom chooses to purchase or rent his formalwear (or suit!) for the special day, the most important thing is how he feels when he’s wearing it.
