Choosing an outfit for your wedding can be one of the most daunting processes. Brides are kind of expected to go above and beyond to choose the best dress for their special day – and boutiques provide an amazing experience so the dress ‘journey’ is special. However, the wedding media never really talks about the process for men. Many grooms also have a hard time choosing a suit to wear for their weddings, partly because there are so many options to consider – but we have a suggestion. A black tuxedo is a great choice for a groom’s wedding suit. You can never go wrong with a classic tux, especially if your wedding theme is black-tie or you just want an elegant look. Let’s have a look at some key reasons why a black tux is a great choice for a wedding.

1. A black tuxedo has a timeless appeal 

One of the reasons a black tuxedo will never go out of style, especially for occasions like weddings, is its timeless appeal. Unlike trendier colours, black simply won’t go out of style. If you choose a black tux for your wedding, when you look back at your photos years later, you won’t have any regrets about your outfit because black will never look dated. Also, a black tuxedo exudes timeless elegance and sophistication. (Need more convincing? Check out Gentleman’s Journal for some epic black-tie wearers from Hollywood and more!)

2. A black tuxedo will set you apart 

While the colour black is a timeless, versatile, and stunning option by itself, making it a tuxedo makes it even better. For a wedding, it’s only right that the groom stands out from the rest of the party and the guests. Opting for a tuxedo instead of a standard black suit is a fantastic idea which will add an extra layer of sophistication to your look and set you apart from the crowd. 

3. It is a versatile choice 

A black tuxedo is a versatile choice because it’s easy to accessorise. For instance, you could add a silver or gold pocket watch and chain to the outfit. You can also add a bowtie of any other colour, preferably one that matches the theme of the wedding, as an accessory. With a black tuxedo, your options for accessorising are unlimited. Choosing a tux will give you room to experiment with different shirts depending on the look you are going for. You can go for a modern or traditional look and still make it work. 

4. Tuxedos are flattering for all types of bodies and skin tones

Feeling confident on your wedding day will help you relax and enjoy every part of it. As a colour, black has a slimming effect on both women and men. A tuxedo is also very flattering on all kinds of different body types. When you add the slimming effect of black and the flattering effect of a tux together, you get a confidence-inspiring look which will work for any groom. A black tux tends to elongate your frame, giving you a polished silhouette. Additionally, black complements different skin tones, making sure you look and feel amazing on your wedding day, and in your photos.

5. You can wear it after the wedding 

Another good reason to choose a black tux is that you can wear it after the wedding. As elegant as a tux is, it’s not limited to that single event. You can wear it to other formal occasions after the wedding. Also, black is a great choice because it does not fade easily, especially if the quality is good. Therefore, you will be able to wear your wedding suit long after your special day. 

Now choose the perfect black tuxedo for you! 

While a black tux is an overall great choice for a wedding, you should know that not all tuxedos are the same. There are different designs. Therefore, when choosing your wedding tux, you should consider the different options and choose one that matches the theme of your occasion, your style reference, and the qualities of the design. Examples of popular designs are single-breasted and double-breasted tuxedos. Regardless of your choice, make sure to make it black, which will do wonders for your look on your wedding day.
