We've seen many trends come and go over the years, and we like to know what's popular and what people are looking for in a tuxedo or suit for their wedding. Here are a couple different trends that we have been seeing from last year into now:
1. Navy Tuxedos
We've seen a lot of different color tuxedos rising in popularity but navy is the "it" color of 2016. Navy breaks away from the standard traditional black tuxedo but gives you more option than just doing a grey tuxedo or suit. It still looks very sleek and nice on every groom or groomsman without being too much.
2. Suits
We have been getting a lot of questions about suits as of late. A suit is technically "less formal" than a tuxedo but that doesn't mean it won't look just as good. Some of our customers have been looking for a more "casual" look for their wedding party and decide to rent a suit over a tuxedo. The suits come in varying colors but we are typically asked the most about grey and tan suits.
3. Suspenders
Continuing on with the more "casual" look, our next big trend is suspenders. We have seen varying ways of weddings channeling this trend; some weddings will not do coats, some weddings will order colored suspenders to macth the bridesmaids' dresses, some weddings may pair them with long ties instead of bow ties, etc. We see a lot more of this with summer weddings who don't want their groomsman to get too hot during the ceremony. Having suspenders is a good way of dressing up the oufit if you have decided against doing tuxedo or suit coats for the groomsmen.
4.Colored Tuxedos with a Black Lapel
This is a trend something that is just starting off. I have had a couple different people ask me if we have a colored tuxedo with a black lapel. I think this will be something that someone would like if they really want to stand out. It still looks classy and pushes the envelope even further than just doing a standard black tux. We will be able to rent out a couple of colored tuxedos for Spring and we will see how everyone likes it but as of now we have had people asking about it.
If you are not sure what you want to do for your own wedding party, maybe one of these trends can give you an idea. Tell us which one is your favorite!
