Makeover Madness
Details Make the Difference
for Fall Formals
Boston, MA, July 15, 2004 – The
Fall TV schedule is heavy with make-over reality shows like
The Swan 2 and fictional stories like Nip/Tuck, that portray
plastic surgeons who work on Miami Beach’s elite. Queer
Eye for the Straight Guy, a lifestyle make-over show, has been
running new episodes all summer. The increase in these types
of programs and the large audiences they pull confirms that
our society is obsessed with make-overs and looking good no
matter what the cost or the amount of pain endured to get there.
Although most couples won’t get an extreme makeover before
their wedding day, they may opt for teeth whitening, a spray
on tan or acrylic nails. But one often overlooked way to feel “made-over” and
look like a million bucks is to have the groom and men in your
wedding party wear tuxedos for the big day. The wedding runway
shows for fall 2004 are predicting high style and romance are
all in the details. The groom can still wear the quintessential
black multi-button tuxedo but add embellishments for an attention
getting image update.
Men’s retailers are showing sophisticated looks for fall
2004. Tailored blazers with satin lining, French cuff shirts
and cuff links. It’s a somewhat vintage look and mirrors
the attention to detail and refinement of years gone by. Bill
Tzizik, CEO Classic Tuxedo said, “Formal accessories
for fall will really take the tuxedo back to days of elegant
dressing. The tuxedo is a polished look whose interesting details
make all the difference.”
Most celebrities hire image and etiquette consultants as well
as stylists to get their million dollar looks on Oscar night,
but for your big wedding day, you can rely on your tuxedo specialist
to help you put together a high fashion look. The experts at
Classic Tuxedo offer some tips on the latest trends for fall.
Black is still the most popular tuxedo color. Multi-button
looks with notch lapels from designers like Monsieur Givenchy
and Matteo Maas are hot. Non-pleated trousers are in and always
have a satin side stripe. Laydown collar, non-pleated shirts
are popular and Tallia Uomo’s microfiber shirts are soft
and resist heavy wrinkling. Vests with subtle patterns like
Mel Howard’s Bellagio collection have a 5 button front
and full back styling so if you take your tuxedo jacket off,
the vest will look good from the front or back. Vest colors
are endless and vests can be worn with your choice of bow tie,
Windsor tie or cravat. Matt finish square toe shoes and a pocket
square add a masculine touch. For an ultraformal look without
going the way of full dress tails, wear a French cuff shirt,
a self-tie bow tie and add some mother-of-pearl or black onyx
cuff links and studs.
Another detail that won’t go unnoticed is the addition
of the words “black tie optional,” “black
tie invited,” black tie preferred,” or simply, “black
tie” to your wedding invitation. Why not have your guests
share the exciting experience that wearing a tuxedo brings?
A black tie wedding becomes a classic occasion as well as a
special occasion.
People sometimes make judgments about others based on what
they see. We want to be seen in a positive light so we spend
millions of dollars each year on products and services that
make us look good. But for your wedding, you don’t have
to break the bank to look good. If you wear a tuxedo, you’ll
always look good and make a great impression! Pay attention
to the formal details for an elegant and sophisticated make-over.
Your guests and the bride will definitely take notice.
