Traditionally this look picks up where the “Morning suit” leaves off as the ultimate in evening refinement, concentrating on another specific style, namely the “Tuxedo” and its corresponding accessories.
Although successfully worn during the day for prestigious occasions this formal look is best known as the king of the evening wear.
This style suits the groom with a very classy personality, who simply must have a look of precise, elegant balance.
The formal approach creates an air of dignified finesse which exudes self-assurance and grandeur.
APPEARANCE DETAILS
The characteristics of this style concentrate on distinction and decorum to present a dignified finish. Features include the Tuxedo, a very stylish suit in all black or black pants with a white or off-white toned jacket. The tuxedo pants are famous for their trademark satin stripe down the side of the leg. The jacket is distinct in its inclusion of decorous panels of satin on the collar and the handsome shawl collar as a possibility. Custom pinstripe tuxedo suits are very original and look very classy, particularly when worn with a cravat.
Accessories include the cummerbund a broad belt like waist decoration and fine-looking shirts which can be plain or fashioned with tucks and other décor.
A vest/waistcoat can be worn instead of a cummerbund if you prefer and teams well with a cravat, or the look can be finished off with your choice of a straight or bow tie; however the bow looks dressier. When it comes to wearing a tuxedo, the shinier the shoes the more formal the whole outfit looks.
With this approach your groomsmen will have to match your fashion and all wear tuxedos.
Naturally true to its title, this look would suit the formal type of wedding, completing the upmarket style presentation.
Remember that to fully appreciate this appearance, your bride must be in a similar manner to you. Suitable style possibilities for the bride which would successfully compliment this look would include:
