Fall Details
Article by www.ClassicTuxedo.com
The Fall TV schedule is heavy with makeover reality shows and the increase in these types of programs and the large audiences they pull confirms that our society loves a good makeover. 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 men's fall fashion designer shows for 2005 presented diverse ideas and styles with a focus on more individuality. The same trend holds true for fall formals. The groom can still wear the quintessential black multi-button tuxedo but add unique accessories for an attention getting, personalized image update.
Men's retailers are showing a variety of looks for men for fall and black is back. This is a trend that has crossed over into the formalwear arena as well. Bill Tzizik, CEO Classic Tuxedo said, "Designers like Ralph Lauren showed wearable clothes for fall while other designers preferred to show tailored suits.
 
There was something for everyone. You can pair a tailored tuxedo with soft, silky accessories or add a French cuff shirt to dress up a more easy-going style. It's all about creating a personal look."
Since most couples won't hire an image consultant or fashion stylist before the 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 Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Matteo Maas are hot.
  • Non-pleated (plain front) 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 Cornell's herringbone weave or twill offer 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 way to personalize your wedding 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? They might like to feel "made-over" too.
So treat yourself to a formal makeover for your fall wedding. With so many styles and accessories to choose from, there is sure to be one that suits your style for a personalized, fun look.
