Treat Yourself to a Little Luxury
Formalwear Styles for Spring Weddings

Boston, MA, September 22, 2004 – What’s new for men’s formalwear for spring 2005? The experts at Classic Tuxedo say the buzzword for spring is luxury, luxurious fabrics and textures for tuxedos and accessories. And what could be more luxurious than a tuxedo? Style setters have always had a penchant for formal fashions. It's a favorite at the Oscars and travels with the jet set from cruise to port. More grooms dress formally than not and why not? Luxury shouldn’t be reserved for only the rich and famous. Wearing a tuxedo is a rare experience you can afford but not afford to miss. Although black is still the most popular color choice in tuxedos and plain front trousers are preferred over pleated, it’s the colors, lightweight fabrics and attention to detail that will create a captivating look this spring.

Multi-button tuxedo styling is still hot but Bill Tzizik, CEO of Classic Tuxedo said, “Two- button tuxedos that button higher are a perfect contemporary look for a formal day or evening wedding and are a chic alternative to the fashion forward 4 button styles”. For spring and summer weddings, a white linen dinner jacket with black formal trousers is a classic look also appropriate for formal day or evening weddings. But for the groom who wants the ultimate in luxury, there’s the Matteo Maas Tuxedo. The premier rental tuxedo only available in the United States, Europe and Australia, it’s fabricated of the finest high twist Australian yarn, a super 120 wool, for a silky soft, lightweight feel. And 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 textures, fabrics and designs of formal accessories are also luxurious. Non-pleated, microfiber, laydown collar shirts from manufacturers like Tallia Uomo are popular because they feel incredibly like silk and they don’t wrinkle. High button, fullback vests like the Bellagio Collection from Mel Howard use a sumptuous subtle sharkskin fabric with a barely noticed nailhead design detail. Sharkskin not quite your style? How about a rich herringbone vest? Pair it with a bow tie for a traditional look or a coordinating Windsor tie or cravat for a contemporary look. Accessory color choices are endless and range from the classic platinum and eggshell to spearmint, Caribbean mist or frosty pink. Yes, pink. Pink is one the hottest colors in menswear for spring. And although pink is usually reserved for the younger man, it can be worn by men of all ages. The Donald knows fashion and he sported a great looking pink tie on The Apprentice recently.

Once you select the tux and accessories, it’s time to put the finishing touch on your ensemble. Add some fabulous black patent leather shoes, gorgeous mother of pearl cuff links and studs and colorful pocket squares or let your formalwear specialist help you design the details for your one of a kind look.

For your spring wedding, treat yourself to a little luxury. Wearing a tuxedo is a rare experience you can afford but not afford to miss.
