Let's Tux About It..

The ladies have been getting a lot of love on this blog lately and I think it's time we get the men involved! 

If you're a bride reading this take notes to nag your groom later. If you're a groom reading this...*slow clap* I am so proud of you! You've made it this far and I am here to help!

Everyone makes a big deal about a brides dress and let's be honest, we tend to overlook the fact that finding a Tux is a big deal! Our grooms are stepping up their style game and absolutely killing it!

Tuxedo shopping might be daunting to some and that's why I decided to share some fun pieces of advice to take the edge off and make this day more bearable!

Guys...if you're still reading... give yourself a pat on the back!

#1 Ask Your Fiance

Jusstttttt kidding!!!!! Maybe.

#1 Money Talks

I've preached this every day and I'll preach it again. Know your budget and stick to it. Don't be afraid to shop around and find the perfect tux that fits your budget. Keep in mind that your tux may require alterations and this often incurs an additional fee.

#2 Comfort Is Key

Try on as many tuxedos as you need to to ensure you get the perfect one that boosts your confidence and is comfortable! You'll be spending many hours in this so comfort is key! As much as you want to please your bride with the nicest tux in the world, take control and don't be afraid to speak up. Nicely of course, unless you're ready to meet Bridezilla.

#3 Understand Fabrics and Fits

Do your homework. Tuxedo's are no longer "one cut fits all", especially since the new trend is all about slim and skinny fits. Go online and find some styles you like and take it to your appointment. Your body type will determine what fits and looks best so it's a good idea to keep an open mind!

#4 Stay On Theme

Coordinate your style to the theme of the wedding. If you're going for a more formal event, a tuxedo is the perfect fit. However, if you're having a beach wedding think of something lighter and breathable. 

#5 Let Your Suit Reflect You

Don't be afraid to explore colour, and prints and fun fabrics! You can even add your own flare by choosing a fun vest or tie, cufflinks and socks to bring out your personality.

Guys, it's your big day too and it's about time we make it known!
