TUX TALK
A tuxedo is the most elegant and
formal attire that a male of any age
can wear. The right tux can make
any guy look and feel like a millions
bucks. Although on the day of your
Quinceañera the main focus will not
be on your chamberlains and their
tuxedos, it is still important for them
to be dressed their best.
There are various factors that go into choosing
a tuxedo, such as: the style, fit, color and
cost. You should also consider wither the style
of the tux fits your Quinceanera theme. For
example:
“ If you theme were a 1920’s-inspired roaring
twenties party, then a pinstripe tux with a vest
and tie would fit nicely. But if you’re having a
princess theme celebration, perhaps a tuxedo
with a full dress tailcoat is more appropriate.”
The complete tuxedo look. The tuxedo consist of a man’s formal
jacket and combing a dress pants. They are most commonly
worn with a white, button-down shirt, vest, cummerbund and
bow tie. The most popular colors for formal tuxedos are black,
gray and navy.
To give your chambelane’s tuxedos a creative edge, you can
have them wear fun, custom printed ties, socks with fun patterns
and design, or hats that match the overall style of the tuxedo.
The most popular:
Is the classic cut, which gives a fuller fit
and accommodates people of all sixes.
You may also want to consider the modern
and slim cuts. Both styles are trimmer
than the classic cut, with the slim option
being the most fittest of them all.
The button-down:
Shirt should be crisp white and wrinkle
free. White is the best option for the
shirt because it shows formality and
gives the suit a great contrast.
The vest is what adds:
Color and different texture to the suit.
You can incorporate your Quinceanera
colors into the tuxedo by having the
vest, cummerbund and bowtie match
your color theme.
The accessories:
Are the final touch on the tuxedo. The
most popular accessories are suspenders,
cufflinks, a boutonniere, dress shoes
and pocket square.
