Male Attire

The attire for the males varies based on the formality of the wedding. For a formal wedding, black tie is recommended. The man wears black tuxedo coat and pants, a formal white shirt, a black bow tie and a black cummerbund or vest. In an ultra-formal affair, men wear white tie, which consists of a black dinner jacket with tails, a formal white shirt, a white pique vest, and a white bow-tie. For a somewhat less formal wedding, men can wear dark suits.

The groomsmen typically wear identical tuxedos designed to match the tuxedo of the groom. The groom can stand out by varying some aspect of his dress. For example, he could wear a different color vest or handkerchief. Or his tuxedo could have tails while the other groomsmen wear standard cuts.

When renting tuxedos, you have a couple options to coordinate. You can pick a local tuxedo shop and then have each groomsman go there to be measured. If people are coming from out of town, they can go to a local tuxedo shop in their area to be measured and then male he measurements to your store (most stores will have no problem with this). They can then pick up their tuxedos when they arrive for the wedding. The other option is to rent from a national chain. Each groomsman can rent a tuxedo from a local near him or decide to just be measured at the local location and pick up from the location closest to the wedding. When renting tuxedos for the entire wedding party, be sure to ask about any discounts and shop around.
