Picking Out Tuxedo Styles

Picking out the brides dress can be some what of a process. Some girls try on tons of dresses and other only try on a handful. Regardless it's a decision that you will have to live with for the rest of your lives when you look back at your wedding pictures.

Some guys think that the tuxedos are no big deal but the same decisions come with picking out your tuxedo style. Grooms you matter just as much as the brides! ;) So we are here to give you some suggestions about how to start thinking and looking at the styles to choose from.


1. Look at Styles Online - It will help you come in with some kind of idea of how you want to look for your day. Even if it's just looking at the color of tuxedos, or the different styles of lapels. Part of our job here at Gerard Tuxedo is to educate all our brides and grooms on the different styles when you come in so you can pick which styles you like. But if you have a specific style or look you want it will help us to help you!
 2. Color Swatch - If there is a color that you are looking to match make sure to have some kind of color swatch or piece of material or even a dress to match up with. Most of our colors match up with all the dress designers. But there are many, many shades of purple, blues, ect. The color of the brides dress will make a difference as well so make sure you know if the brides dress is white or ivory.


3. Leave Enough Time - You can always call ahead and make an appointment if you would like but it's not always necessary. When you find the day to come in and look at some styles and allow some time to look at the different styles we offer. There is lots to go over with you when you come in and look at everything, there are more options then you think there might be! We like to have styles picked out for the wedding 3 to 4 months before the wedding.

GT Trend Alert!

It's that time of the week again where we show you the latest trends in the tuxedo world! GT is now carrying the slim fit tuxedos that come in a Notch Lapel and Peak Lapel. Slim fit tuxedo normally have that athletic cut in the jacket and have more of a tapered pant leg. With the Slim Fit tuxedo rental at Gerard Tuxedo you also have the option to go with more of an athletic cut dress shirt in black, ivory and white as well. "Skinny" is the new modern fit.


You can wear this look with a bow tie or normal windsor tie or there are even skinny ties that Gerard Tuxedo is able to order for weddings.  We love this look and think it's a very sleek classic look for any wedding.

Make sure to check back weekly to see the "trends" we give 2 thumbs up to!

Out of Town Groomsmen? Not a problem!

One of the biggest misconception about renting tuxedos through the "little guys" is since we only have one location we can't accommodate the out of town groomsmen in the wedding party. FALSE!!!

We can absolutely accommodate out of town groomsmen or even groomsmen who live 30 minutes away. Most tuxedo places give free measurements for any out of town groomsmen. We would just recommend that you actually go somewhere you can try a fitting coat on. For example tailors do not always have fitting coats. After your groomsmen have been measured they can call, fax, or submit their measurements online through our website. Once we receive their measurements we will contact them to let them now we received their measurements, get a down payment over the phone with a credit card and go over with them when their tuxedo will be available for them to come in and try everything on.

At Gerard Tuxedo we care about how your groomsmen look! So we do recommend that everyone actually comes in to try on their tuxedo. Our formal wear specialist will look over each and every guy to make sure things are fitting properly. If for some reason there are minor things that need to be adjusted like pant length or sleeve length we can fix that in the store with a 10 minute wait. Our plant is local so if there is the chance that someone needs a different coat size we will have it the next day for them. So there is a chance for some people to have a 3rd fitting to insure a proper fit for all your groomsmen. This only means your bridal party will look AWESOME!

Here are some pictures from one of our weddings back in May! Most of these groomsmen were out of town for this wedding and we were able to take care of them and they all look amazing!! Congratulations Andrew & Evelyn!

GT Trend Alert!

All weddings have their own style. Being a tuxedo store we see all kinds of different combinations of styles in all our brides and grooms weddings. From VERY traditional to more modern laid back. Every week we are going to bring to you trends that we have been seeing more of and also show what we have to offer as one of the largest supplier in the Metro Detroit Area! 

Gray, or Grey? No matter what way you spell the color it's one of the most popular trends right now in the tuxedo/wedding world. Wither it's with Yellow, Purple, Pink, or all Gray, GT gives it 2 thumbs up!


We carry both styles shown above. These tuxedos are made by Jean Yves and are made of a super 100s wool, which means the wool is a nicer lighter wool. We also carry a 2 button peak tone on tone pine stripe in the lighter gray. 

We love these tuxedos because it's something different and they have vests that match the actual tuxedo so it give it that 3 piece suit look. The lighter tuxedo on the right above shows the matching vest.
