Formalwear Trends for Your Spring
Wedding
BOSTON, MA, October 13, 2003 - Fashions
come and go with the seasons but the tuxedo is always in style
for a wedding. Today, the black tuxedo is appropriate to wear
any time of day or year. Unique and stylish accessory options
continually change to conform to the tastes of current society
and to reflect the season of one's wedding. This spring, look
to color and lightweight fabrics to personalize and accessorize
your wedding tuxedo.
Cutaways and strollers with their striped trousers and ascots
or four-in-hand ties are still popular choices for formal daytime
weddings; and black full dress tails with a white pique shirt,
vest and bow tie are still the ultimate in "black tie" for
very formal evening weddings. But the truth is, the black tuxedo
worn year round is always a good look, day or night. For a
spring or summer wedding a white or ivory dinner jacket can
be worn for a cool, breezy look. Here are some formalwear trends
for spring that'll help you make a style statement:
Black is still the favorite color choice for tuxedo jackets. "Two,
three and four-button, single-breasted notch jackets by designers
like Monsieur Givenchy and Claiborne continue to be popular
choices for weddings," said Bill Tzizik, CEO of Classic
Tuxedo INC. But for the groom who wants a tuxedo that looks
and feels like no other, the Matteo Maas tuxedo collection
is for him. This tuxedo is only available in Boston, Beverly
Hills, Italy, France, Germany, England, Canada and Australia.
It's made of a high grade, super 120 wool for a silky soft,
lightweight feel. Unlike the shiny satin found on tuxedo jacket
lapels and leg braid, the Matteo Maas has a material called
grosgrain, a silk like fabric with crosswise ribs. The buttons
are also covered in grosgrain for a luxurious look. For spring
and summer weddings, an alternative to the black tuxedo is
the dinner jacket. The After Six Ivory Postino single-breasted
shawl collar dinner jacket has a breezy feel and looks great
when paired with an ivory shirt, formal trousers that feature
a plain non-pleat flat front, black satin fullback vest and
traditional bow tie.
Bill Tzizik, CEO of Classic Tuxedo INC., said, "Non-pleated,
microfiber, laydown collar shirts from manufacturers like Tallia
Uomo are popular now because they feel incredibly like silk
and they don't wrinkle." And for the first time in over
15 years, the laydown collar shirt is being chosen over the
wing collar. Grey or off-white shirts have become a hip alternative
to white.
Backless vests and cummerbunds are out while high button, fullback
vests are in. A popular choice for spring is the Bellagio Vest
Collection by Mel Howard. It features subtle sharkskin fabric
with a barely noticed nailhead design in 13 colors, sure to
coordinate with any bridesmaid dress. The high button front
vest complements new neckwear styles.
The Windsor tie, a wide necktie worn in a loose bow is a popular
choice in neckwear right now and is available in a host of
colors and patterns. But back by popular demand is the epitome
of elegance, the bow tie.
Patent leather shoes look best with a tuxedo. Square toe lace-up
styles are currently in vogue and are a perfect finish to your
formal wardrobe.
Cuff links and studs, pocket squares and hats are details that
never go out of style and are worn any time of day, any time
of year. Let your formalwear expert help you choose the details
to personalize your look.
With the understanding of what's appropriate to wear and what
styles are hot, it's easy to put together a formal wedding
look with flair to spare.
