When a tuxedo makes sense
- Evening receptions in a hotel ballroom or restaurant.
- A formal dress code or black-tie invitation.
- You want satin or velvet lapels and a bow tie in the photos.
When a suit is the better choice
- Daytime ceremonies, gardens, beaches and outdoor venues.
- Relaxed weddings where guests wear suits.
- You want to wear it again at work and other weddings.
Colours that photograph well
- Navy: works day and night, flattering on most skin tones.
- Mid or light grey and beige: fresh for daytime and outdoor ceremonies.
- Midnight navy tuxedo: richer than black under warm lights.
Beat the heat
Choose a light wool or linen blend, a half lining and a canvas chest. A three-piece lets you take the jacket off and still look finished in the waistcoat.
