Your Complete Guide to Tuxedo vs Suit for Weddings

Getting invited for a wedding is exciting, especially if it is your close friend or relative who is getting married. But at the same time, we get confused about what to wear on this occasion tuxedo vs suit.

Take a look at the example picture below.

Tuxedo for a wedding

Tuxedo is the best men's formal wear for wedding because it is usually worn for black tie or white tie events and wedding is such a kind of event. It is the most formal outfit and it has many hidden rules while wearing. It was known as black cut suit with satin lapel. But now things have changed. There are multiple color options with little variations in tux. But before wearing this type of attire you should take a look at wedding dress code, personal preference and time.

Wedding Dress Code

You can’t avoid wedding dress code while choosing an outfit if there they mentioned on invitation that preferred dress code is white tie or black tie then you can’t wear a three piece suit or anything else rather than tuxedo with white or black bow tie.

Personal Preference

If there are no restrictions on invitation for attire then it is up to you, what you like to wear if you are comfortable and prefer a three piece suit then wear a three piece suit. You can also wear a classic black tuxedo or a navy tuxedo for a safer side if you find difficulty in buying the best suit combination. 

Time

Suits are always known for day time wear if the wedding starts in day time or brunch then you should wear a suit. It could be a mens two piece suit or mens three piece suit. However keep your mens tuxedo jacket reserved for evening invitations and dinner.

 

“White Tie” Dress Code

White tie is also called a “dress suit” or “full evening dress.” It is the most formal of all dress codes. It consists of a black tailcoat, black pleated pants, patent leather pumps, and other things, as you can see in the picture. Also, remember to wear a white bow tie. You cannot wear a black tie to a white tie event. 

Or else, if you're not comfortable with this attire and think that it would be an investment for a single occasion, then consider the mens tuxedo black instead. The black mens tuxedo is more versatile, and you can even wear it with a white tie.

“Black Tie” Dress Code

Also the most appropriate formal attire, you can never go wrong with it. Black tuxedo is also a great party suit for men in events like prom, dinner etc.

There were only three color options Midnight blue, Black and white but now there are many choices you can make while choosing mens tuxedos such as mens tuxedo blazer which are available in maroon, orange, red, and burgundy colors.


When to a Wear Suit

The Double Breasted suit is known as Italian style. It comes with a notch or peak lapel, and generally looks great on taller men. You don’t find a lot of people wearing the double breasted suit which means it’s a great way to standout.

3 Piece Suit Wedding

Three Piece suits consist of trousers, Jacket and a waistcoat. If you’re a person who wears a suit everyday to work you wouldn't want to look the same for a wedding. It kinda gets boring, that’s when the three piece suit comes into play; a perfect attire to stand out when your business suit can’t quite get the job done.

Vintage Suit Mens

Either way you can never go wrong with a vintage suit. Interestingly, these suits typically consist of men's tuxedo which is a good point. 

Winter style

Styles are becoming more casual day by day. But still, dress codes are essential to be in the standard of an event or venue, because special occasions are for a group of people. No one wants to be over or under dressed. If the dress code is called, then make all your efforts to be in an appropriate mens tuxedo, which will give you and the host respect. But if you still want something unconventional and within the dress codes then men's tuxedo slim fit would be best for you.
