TUXEDO 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 million bucks. Although on the day of your
Quince the main focus will not be on your chambelanes
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, fi t, color and cost. You should also consider wither
the style of the tux fi ts your Quince them. For example, if your
theme were a 1920’s-inspired “roaring twenties” party, then a
pinstripe tux with a vest and tie would fi t nicely. But if you’re
having a princess-themed celebration, perhaps a tuxedo with a
full dress tailcoat is more appropriate.
The Complete Tuxedo Look
The most popular is the classic cut, which gives a
fuller fi t and accommodates people of all sizes. 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 fi ttest 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 diff erent texture
to the suit. You can incorporate your quince colors
into the tuxedo by having the vest, cummerbund
and bowtie match your color theme.
The accessories are the fi nal touch on the tuxedo.
The most popular accessories are suspenders, cuffl inks,
a boutonniere, dress shoes and a pocket square..
