Tuxedo Styles for the Big Men in Your Wedding Party

tuxedoWhile we know that brides and grooms have a wonderful image of the wedding party - styles and colors coordinating - the reality is that parties that include “bigger than life” male members need some TLC when choosing the right wedding tuxedos.

From experience we have learned that certain styles compliment those of a certain larger size. We know that darker clothing - like black or the darker shades of gray, are the best choices for these men.

We suggest pants that do not accentuate fullness. Yes, pleats do give more fullness, but they do not always flatter a bulkier bottom or hip area. Pants should always hang straight and break at the top of the shoe heel.

We find that over 90% of men are choosing vests over cummerbunds to wear underneath the tuxedo jacket. They make this choice for comfort as well as style. If jackets are discarded in the heat of the day or for the reception dancing, a full coverage vest can insure that the men in the party still look coordinated. A solid black or dark colored vest will look much better on a large-size man. A lay-down collar and trendy tie will give balance to someone with a wide upper body. To de-emphasize size, we suggest that a large man wear a simple one button style jacket. As you and your groom select the formalwear style that you want for your wedding, we remind you to consider the size and shape of the men in your wedding party. With the wide variety of styles and colors available to you from many vendor sources, formal wear experts can be your best friend as you create the wedding of your dreams together. Whatever the sizes of the men in your wedding party, be comfortable knowing that your formal wear experts can make everyone look their best for now and for your wedding photographic memories.
