Summer Weddings Tuxedos and Tips Redux


We previously blogged here about tuxedo and formal wear tips and ideas for summer weddings.  But, here is some additional information regarding summer weddings that we hope you will find useful.

Last year, Be Stylish! did a great post entitled "Are Gray Tuxedos Stylish," which we think has some great thoughts on the gray tuxedo, especially for summer weddings. 

While we tend to be a bit more conservative, and generally recommend wearing a white shirt and bringing in color with a vest and bowtie, like in the picture you see to the left, we have to agree with the post's conclusion that:


The absolute best part about gray tuxedos is that you can wear a shirt in almost any color with it, no matter how vivid. You can go for white, pink, beige or even light green
So, if you are looking to mix things up a little, a gray tux may be just the thing for you! Our advice, though, would be to skip the colored pocket handkerchief if you're wearing a colored shirt - that look has a tendency to come off cheesy rather than individualistic and quirky (quirky in a good way, meaning unconventional). Rather, wear a white pocket square, and it will make the shirt really pop.

Also, a summertime wedding is the perfect time to debut a new 'do and a new you with your new boo.  About.com's Daniel Billett recently did a great article on short hairstyles for men, perfect for the summer. It's got pictures of a lot of different hairstyles, as well as a lot of good information on how to achieve them. If you're looking for a new haircut, you should definitely check it out.

By the way, if you're ATTENDING a summer wedding as a guest, Dappered has a GREAT post about what to wear, depending on what the groom is wearing and what the invitation states, be it black tie, black tie invited, etc. Follow their advice and you are guaranteed to be outfitted perfectly.

We hope you have a good July 4th weekend!

Tips to Find the Types of Tuxedo that Suits You

Tuxedo is one of the most formal apparel for men. It has different types, which are specially designed for various occasions. However, not all types of tuxedos suit all men. So, before buying a suit, the first thing you need to do is to assess your body type. The following are the types of men according to their body type and the type of suit suitable for them.

Short and slim:
Single breasted tuxedo jackets with lines look fine for men with shorter, slender body frame. They should be cautious in choosing pants to make themselves more presentable. They can wear double pleated trousers, which should fall up to the top of the shoes. Gentlemen with this type of body frame can wear vests and ties with patterns.

Short and sturdy:
This means you are a short man with athletic or muscular body. If your body type is similar to this, go for a tux jacket with slim collars. Make sure the top button reach your waist to make your torso look leaner. Your pants should fall on your foot and angled slightly at the back to make your legs look longer. Avoid too much space on your feet, or else your pants will look sloppy. You should be careful when choosing colorful ties and vests.

Tall and Husky:
Men belonging to this type have broad shoulders and athletic body. Shawl collar tuxedos is the best for them. Jacket length and size are very important, though they can also wear a jacket that is a bit larger than their actual size. A bit loose jacket enables them ease of movement. To make certain they get the right jacket length, their fingertips must reach the bottom of the jacket. At the same, the shirt sleeves must extend at least one-fourth to one half inch beyond the sleeve of the jacket. If they have wide faces and thick necks, they should go for bow ties and t-shirts with lay-down collar instead of wing clip collared shirts and narrow ties.

Tall and lean:
Men with this type of body are so lucky. They are the male counterparts of women with pear-shaped figure. Any type of tuxedo suits well on tall and slim gentlemen. However, they look better when the jacket buttons are closed up high. They can also dress in ties and vests with any color and pattern.

Wedding Suit Designs for Men

Many feel that men's apparel for a wedding falls into two categories---suits or tuxedos. Fortunately, even if a suit is essential for the wedding, there are accessories and options to match the design with the wedding and with the man's personality.

Suit Style:
Suit styles vary from double-breasted to sports jackets. Based on the formality of the wedding, choose a formal or informal style.

Vest:
Similar to tuxedos, some suits can be accessorized with a vest. Vests are available in many patterns and colors so it's easy to find one that fits the wedding colors or the personality of the person wearing it.

Tie:
Tie prints range from traditional to wacky and fun. Wearing a tie with wedding bells or a plain-colored tie that matches the bridesmaid dresses are alternatives that will add a sense of style to the outfit.

Buttons:
Button up your suit jacket or leave it undone. Button it if you need a more formal look and unbutton it for less-formal occasions.

Fabrics:
The materials that are used to make suits vary. In hotter climates, fabrics such as cotton or linen may be more appropriate. In cooler environments, wool and cotton blends may serve as stylish wedding suits choices that also keep you warm.

Wedding Reception After Parties

There's no reason that the end of a wedding reception has to be the end of the night.  Increasingly, we are seeing evidence (ahem, from the states of the tuxedo rentals that are being returned after weddings), that couples are breaking through the 11pm barrier and pushing on till the break of dawn.  It's a great way for your guests to enjoy the wedding in a more relaxed atmosphere, especially if your reception was formal.  

Plus, it can be a great way to unwind after the stress of a reception.  One after party we know of was in a hotel suite, and the couple spent the entire party on the balcony, alone with each other, reminiscing about the day, since they had had so little time to actually talk to each other.  How sweet.  We've also seen after parties in pubs on a karaoke night - much more fun than that can hardly be imagined!  You can be as low key or as formal as you want - we've even heard of after parties were the newlywed couple made another grand entrance!

Here are a few tips and ideas to make your wedding reception after hours a hit.
  
VENUE

Some popular places for an after party to be held are:
  • a hospitality suite in the hotel where the reception took place
  • the hotel lobby bar
  • a nearby bar or pub
  • a nearby restaurant
  • someone's house or backyard
Some of these, such as a hospitality suite, require planning in advance, while others, such as a nearby pub, could be more impromptu.  However, if you want the event to go smoothly, it would serve you will to plan in advance.  For example, you can call a bar in advance and let you know that you'll be bringing a certain amount of people - they may close off a special section for you and/or offer you drink specials.

If you're going to host a hospitality suite in a hotel, you must plan in advance because you'll need to have a stocked bar.  Also, it's important to have some food for your guests to snack on. The same goes if the party will be at someone's house.  These types of after parties are great because you literally can keep on going for as long as you like - at a public venue, eventually you'll have to leave.

What's most important, however, is how close the party is to the reception location, both because the closer it is, the more people will come, and because you don't want people to have to drive if they don't have to - for obvious reasons. If necessary, you should arrange in advance for transportation to the after party if it's needed.
If you're going to have the after party in the hotel lobby, make sure you know around about what time you'll have to clear the lobby and take it to your room. The same goes for bars - this may influence whether you want to just get a suite in a hotel or make other arrangements.  If you're lucky, there may be a casino nearby you could hit up! 
INVITES AND COSTS

A great way to spread the word about the after party is on your wedding website, if you have one.  Word of mouth always works too.  We've even heard of couples providing groomsmen with business sized cards that act as invites, which are passed around at the reception. The one problem with this method, though, is that not everyone may be handed a card - and etiquette requires that everyone that's invited to the reception be invited to the after party. Whether you choose to invite everyone, of course, is up to you.

We know that, generally, you're not going to want everyone at the after party - so structure it in a way that will minimize the chances that Uncle Ebert will show up with his ukulele -  a good way to do this is to have the party in a loud place!  But realistically, yes, the one drunken cousin will show up, but that's what keeps things interesting, isn't it?

If you're setting up a hospitality suite, then the couple (or their families) should be responsible for paying for the drinks and food.  However, if you're heading out to a bar, there's no reason why everyone can't fend for themselves and pay their own way, if that's what you want.

If you are going to pay for people's drinks at a public venue, you should make sure that you have a section reserved just for your party, or that there is some other way of making sure you're not paying for everyone at the bar - wristbands for the wedding guests are a good way to go. Or, you could go all out and rent out the whole place!

ONE LAST NOTE

We know you're going to want to look like Frank Sinatra and loosen your tie.  It's inevitable. However, please, please, please do not do this if you are wearing a pre-tied bowtie.  If you are wearing a pretied bowtie, get a regular bowtie and switch it out right before the party - we won't tell. 

YES

NO!!

Nikki Reed's Engagement Shows: Ring Sparling and New Tattoos!



She may not have Kim Kardashian's glossy meteorite, but Nikki Reed is a proud mama of her new engagement ring. Nikki was broke all over town this past weekend showing of that attractive jeweled finger of hers. Oh, and her fiancé, former American Idoler Paul McDonald. First it was the Motivation Awards, where the bling matched her pretty little frock, and then a lovey-dovey romp around town.

And if that doesn't encourage ya, Nikki's fairing another sign of her eternal love:

The Twilight star and her singing soon-to-be hubby are viewing just how serious they are about their two-month old love. That's right; the twosome tattooed each other's names on their right ring fingers Completely cringe-worthy if the duo splits, sweetly cringe-worthy if they stick together!

The whole everlasting inking didn't work out for Angie and Billy Bob, but better luck to you two!

In any case, the tats are discreet, so NBD right?

Heck, we hardly noticed the tat as the bright Nikki bounced around L.A. this weekend. It may have been because we were abstracted by the paparazzi PDA. Or maybe 'cause we were looking at the ring she keeps waving around for everyone to see which BTW has an estimated price tag of $30,000.

Well best of luck you two, can't wait to keep seeing pics of your bright engagement, then the wedding, we're sure, and maybe even the honeymoon, too!

All about Sport Coat

Sport coat is one of the most versatile items for a man to own. It is one of the item that is essential to a man's wardrobe. Unlike a mens suit, it is designed to be worn on its own and as a mix-and-match clothing piece. Depending on what you pair one with; they can be worn for casual or business attire. They are suitable for the office as well as for going out to dinner. Popular fabrics for sport coats include: Tweed, Wool, Linen, Corduroy, Cotton and Silk.

What to Wear With a Sport Coat?
A sport coat can be worn in various ways to create many looks. Some looks to consider:
  •  A navy or black sport coat can be paired with dress slacks in either charcoal gray, light gray, olive green or tan for a professional and polished look.
  •  Try a tweed sport coat with a pair of black wool slacks and a turtleneck for a winter look.
  •  A great casual style is a corduroy sport coat, argyle sweater and a pair of dark denim jeans.
  •  You can't go wrong with a basic navy wool sport coat, a polo shirt and a pair of khakis for a clean and casual look.
  •  On a cool, summer night, pair a lightweight sport coat with a solid tee shirt and a pair of pants.
The great thing about a sport coat is that it does not require a tie. Of course, if you stick on to a business casual office dress code, then a shirt and tie may be appropriate. A sport coat can look great with a dressy tee or a crisp white shirt. Sweaters also look great under a sport coat.

Style Has No Age

Last week I had the distinct pleasure of meeting my friend Todd's 90 year old Grandmother.

Now that may seem like an odd introduction, but this 90 year old is anything but conventional. When we think of folks in their nineties, it often conjures up images of walkers, hearing aids and nursing homes. I can tell you after spending 5 minutes with Grandmother, you'll be looking around for Ashton, thinking perhaps you've been punk'd. Grandmother however will be in the kitchen slicing lemon for cocktail hour.

This remarkable 90 year old, lives on her own, unassisted, it her nearly 2000 square-foot condominium, with it's wrap around balcony so she can plant her flowers in the summer. She cooks all her own meals, cleans (the house is spotless!), plays bridge 3 times a week with the ladies, oh and did I mention drives herself wherever it is she needs to go? She does that as well. Every closet is filled with shoes and clothing to die for and she is seeing a lovely gentleman 9 years her junior, as her husband passed away some years ago. Although she will tell you, it's nothing serious, they just 'go around' together and occasionally have coffee.

Now let's go back to the closets, clothes and shoes for a moment and of course the reason for my visit. We were picking up a caftan style dress, one she no longer wears very often, a 1968 Yves St. Laurent. And that is truly just the beginning of the incredible collection that remains hidden in the closet of her condo.

I have often been impressed and inspired by the fashion and style of certain older ladies. I think there is a fine art of dressing that has been lost in recent generations and there is something lovely about seeing a women pulled together and looking her best. The same of course can be said for men as well, certainly the denim wearing generations of recent years are a far cry from the times that men wore suits and shirts.

I would be remiss in this blog post to not mention the incredible expertise of fellow blogger Ari Seth Cohen who writes Advanced Style. His blog focuses on the style and sophistication of the older generation. Check him out, he is fabulous.



Next time you see someone who has really pulled themselves, let them know. It just might make their day, especially if they are older! Trust me, I did!

be dressed.

The Wedding Tuxedo

One of the most popular tuxedos to be worn in the United States and many other countries is the wedding tuxedo. This tuxedo generally consists of the cookie cutter models of the year which at present includes a traditional black tux with a vest in a color that matches the brides dress.

This look is good enough but in case you’re looking for a unique wedding tux you might think about changing some things up. For example the groom does not have to wear the same color tuxedo as the groomsmen. Also he really doesn't have to wear a vest at all if he is not interested. The color of the tuxedo does not have to be black and does not have to match the color of the brides dress.

Wedding tuxedo can come in any type of style you would like as well. Tradition says that we should wear some type of two or three button notch lapel tux. However, you could wear a trench coat style tux or even a mandarin collar tuxedo if you would like.

Materials should always consist of fabrics that will leave everyone feeling calm, cool, and comfortable. Prices will change dramatically based on what kind of tuxedo style and color you decide to go with.

Office Clothing Tips for Men

Professional wardrobes differ from office to office. Little care which you take in dressing would definitely help you make a big difference in the impression you put up Given below are few office clothing tips for men that will ensure that you always look the professional part:
  •  Stay away from patterned and white socks. Stick with neutrals, like black or brown, and ensure that the color sock you put on matches your shoe. 
  •  Wear a white undershirt beneath your dress shirt. 
  •  Don't forget your belt. In most cases, it should go with the shoes and should be minimal in appearance (this means avoiding oversize buckles and any other type of embellishments). 
  •  Ties offer you at least a bit more leeway than any other part of your outfit. Feel free to select a colorful, printed style that complements your suit, but steer clear of far-out, bold styles in traditional workplaces. If you work in a creative industry, you may be able to get away with something brighter. 
  •  Take your cue from employees who have been working in the company for a significant period of time. Your dress sense should mirror theirs, as you want to blend in (the office is not the place to start making fashion statements).

    DOs and DON'Ts of Wearing a Tuxedo

    
    A well fitting tuxedo creates a classic look
    
    We want you to look your best in your tuxedo!  Here are some tips to keep you on track.

    DOs 
    • Wear formal shoes - preferably black lace-up patent leather oxfords, with the emphasis on the patent leather
    • Wear suspenders if you want to - tuxedo pants don't have belts, so there's no reason not to
    • Wear a white pocket handkerchief to bring together the look
    • Make sure your tuxedo is fitted correctly - about a half inch of your shirt cuff should extend past the end of the coat jacket when your arms are down
    • Wear black formal socks
    • Wear special cufflinks to set yourself apart
    • Remember to check the pockets of your tux rental before returning to the store- you don't want to forget your camera or anything else

    DON'Ts

    • Don't use the plastic buttons of the tuxedo shirt if it has them - use studs instead - they come with the tux rental - but to make it easy, put the studs in the shirt before you put your shirt on - that way, you can just close the shirt up as if you were using buttons 

    • Don't wear cufflinks backwards - the cufflinks should be facing up
    • 
    • Don't button the bottom button of a 2 or 3 button tuxedo
    • 
    • Don't wear a black shirt with a tuxedo unless it's a look that you're specifically going for (the look, by the way, unless you're a rock star, is that of someone that does not know how to dress properly or refuses to do so)
    • Don't wear brown or white socks with a black tuxedo (Just because MJ did it doesn't mean that you can)
    • JUST DON'T!!
    • Don't take off your bowtie and leave it hanging around your neck (like you're trying to look like Frank Sinatra) if you're wearing a pre-tied bowtie.  If you really want to rock the look later in the night, you can bring along a regular bowtie and switch it out
    • Don't wear a cummerbund with the pleats facing down

    Toddler Tuxedo

    Keep your tiny tot well-dressed and prepared for any special occasion with any of the suits for toddlers available on the Internet. With the right tuxedo or formal pant set, your little tyke will cause all the little girls' heads to turn when they see your dashing little boy enter the room of any party or social occasion. The following information should serve as a basic guide to the types of

    Tuxedo Styles

    Tuxedos are no longer as commonly worn as they used to be, but for a formal event like your wedding, it's best to review and to know the basic tuxedo styles available. What you wear directly affects how you look and feel during your wedding. To help you know the different tuxedo styles available, we're providing you with information on one of the most popular wedding tuxedo styles available: the

    Kids Tuxedo

    The most popular wedding shoes are usually ivory in color, and they come in many styles. You can have these shoes dyed to match your dress exactly. There are other accessories that you can buy to match your shoes such as your wedding handbag.The show styles range in style from elegant heels, sandals, ballet type slippers, peep toes shoes, sling backs, and closed toe pumps, with heels in any size.

    Black Tie Tuxedo

    So, you received an invitation to a "black-tie" event. That's a good thing. It means that someone thinks enough of you to include you in something very special, very formal and sophisticated. But, if you've never been to a black-tie gathering, you may be wondering what to wear.

    Ways to Accessorize a Tuxedo

    As men's formal wear is subject to so many rules, accessories are among the few means available for personal expression. Always keep in mind that you're trying to accessorize your tuxedo, not overwhelm it.
    • Buy a dress set for your tuxedo. This should comprise at least two shirt studs, two cuff links, and at least three vest buttons.
    • Opt for a bow tie in a fabric that goes together with your dinner jacket's trim. If the jacket is trimmed in satin, it's best to go with a satin bow tie so that the textures do not compete. Ribbed and woven fabrics go well with grosgrain trims.
    • In case you prefer to wear a bow tie in a color other than black, try to coordinate it with your handkerchief and cummerbund colors.
    • Place neatly folded handkerchiefs in your front breast pocket.
    • Wear braces or suspenders with the suspender tab directly above the first pleat of your trousers.
    • Get tuxedo slippers that are comfortable as well as stylish. Bear in mind that socks are a good place to show a little unexpected color or pattern.
    • Keep it tame. If you wish to add a dash of the bold and unexpected to your ensemble, try to limit it to only one item. If you try more than that, you risk going overboard.

      Tips to Pull Off a Seersucker Suit

      Few men have a tough time pulling off a seersucker suit. Made from a light crinkled fabric, usually cotton, Seersucker suits have an alternating vertical striped pattern between white and another color. Given below are few ways to wear this suit without coming off looking like a total nerd.
      • Opt for a color that won't make everyone stop, look at you, and throw on a pair of sunglasses. Men's seersucker suits are available in a range of colors striped with white such as red, peach, aqua, and pink. Choose these colors only if you have a deep desire to attract attention, no matter the kind. The best options are blue-and-white, cream, gray-and-white, or brown-and-white.
      • Prefer a shirt that goes well with the suit. White shirt or a light shirt that matches the suit would always be the best option.  Stay away from shirts with any pattern as they will clash with the already striped pattern on the suit. Instead of a wide collar, a shirt with a conservative collar is best.
      • Select a tie that isn't too much decorated. Yet again, overly-busy patterns will clash. Better choose solids or conservative patterns. Bow ties are fine too, but a regular neck tie is best if you wish to avoid the nerdy look.
      • Wearing a plain brown leather belt would be best option instead of that thick white one you were thinking of.
      • You can put on almost any shoe, from brown brogues for a fancier occasion to white or brown bucks. You can even wear tennis shoes to casual events if you are wearing your seersucker jacket with jeans.

      DC area Summer Music and Arts Events

      
      We're all about tuxedos and formal wear here at Metropolitan Formalwear, but that doesn't mean that we can't take our bowties off every once in a while (especially now that the DC summer weather has rolled in), and enjoy some summertime and outdoor arts and entertainment.  Of course, we focus on the most refined entertainment we can find, so that we still have an excuse to wear cufflinks.  The following are some of our favorites.

      Check out this link for an article from Washingtonian Magazine entitled Ways to Get Your Summer Classical Music Fix.  It includes some great ideas, including the ever-popular Wolf Trap Summer 2011 series.  There's something about laying out on a blanket on the Wolf Trap lawn as the sun sets with a bottle of wine that signifies that summer has truly arrived.

      Click here for the National Symphony Orchestra's summer series schedule, which includes performances at Wolf Trap including Sweeney Todd, Casablanca, and Disney in Concert: Magical Music from the Movies.

      For a slightly different vibe, check our the National Gallery's Jazz in The Garden Concert Series on Friday evenings through September 9 at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, right on the National Mall.  It's quite literally the most fun you'll have on a Friday evening. Plus, it's free!

      The Carter Barron Amphitheatre in Rock Creek Park has some great shows during its summer season.  It's also a great venue to catch Washington Post's Going Out Guide Weekend Concerts, which is an annual series of free music.

      The Corcoran Gallery of Art has its free Summer Saturdays series, with Gallery tours, workshops, and demonstrations. Fun for the whole family!

      Of course, Screen on the Green, Mondays -  July 25 through August 15 on the National Mall - free and fun - and a classic DC experience.  This year's movie selections are amazing! Click here for a list of many other outdoor movie festivals in and around DC.
