NYC Wedding Tuxedo Rentals

It's time to pick the tuxedo for your wedding, you probably have no idea where to start. That’s okay if you follow this simple guide finding a tux will be simple for you. You should know your style, and the different type of style of tuxedos. Then you have to contemplate buying or renting a tux. Have no fear this guide will educate you on the different styles of tuxedos and help you determine of buying or renting is a better choice for you.

Having a proper fitting tux is essential. Place your arms at your sides, fingers extended. The hem of the jacket should be no longer then your middle finger. The sleeve should grace the top of your hand. Your pants should skim the heel of your shoe, or break slightly over the tops of your shoes. You have to determine what style fits you best, and compliments your future spouses wedding attire as well. Here are some style options. A morning coat is the most formal of them all. Coats are black or gray with a single button. You wear this style of coat with a winged collared dress shirt, ascot, and striped trousers. Dinner jackets are usually in classic white or ivory or a subtle pattern of the same, with peaked lapels or shawl collar. Works well in summer months or in warm climates, in the afternoon or evening, and is considered an appropriate substitute for a standard tuxedo. Great for a casual wedding or a rehearsal dinner. You may wear a white dinner jacket even if your ushers are in black tuxedo jackets. Some designers are showing white-on-white suits replete with vests. Stroller coat is a variation of the morning coat, usually hip length. Looks good with fancy waistcoats.

Purchasing a new tuxedo can be expensive, and often not necessary. Renting a tux will cost 10-30% the cost of a brand new tuxedo. A tuxedo can cost anywhere from $300 to thousands of dollars. If you attend more then three formal occasions per year then it might actually be beneficial to purchase a new tuxedo. If not then renting is probably the best choice. Saving extra money during your wedding planning can help you prepare for the unplanned. It's important to stay with in your budget.

When renting a tuxedo there are a few things you should consider. You should chose a formal wear store that updates its tuxedos regularly. You probably want an up to date stylish tux and not the blue powered tuxedo you wore to the eight grade dance. A good formal wear shop will measure you properly. This is very important. Try your tuxedo on before your wedding. You wouldn’t want to show up with a tuxedo that’s to large or to small. The dealer should listen to your requests, and be able to meet them. A good dealer will also be able to match your tuxedo with your spouses wedding attire. If not politely take your business elsewhere. Finally all the groomsman should rent tuxedos from the same shop! If they live a great distance have them be measured by a local tailor and send you their measurements. The last step is you should reserve your tuxedo 3-6 months in advance.

Although choosing a tuxedo can be difficult, following this guide will insure you look charming on your big day. Choose a store, a tuxedo and rent away. Check out some of New Yorks best formal wear shops and dealers!
