Groom Tuxedos

Your Complete Guide to Groom Tuxedos

What This Collection Is

Groom tuxedos are designed to deliver the strongest, most polished look a groom can wear on his wedding day. This collection covers classic black tuxedos, modern tailored silhouettes, luxury fabrics, bold statement colors, peak and shawl lapels, and elevated details that stand out in person and in photos. It’s the lineup built specifically for the man at the center of it all—sharp, confident, and timeless.

Why This Collection Matters

Your wedding day is one of the few moments where every camera is pointed at you. Your tuxedo should match that energy. This collection is curated to help grooms find the perfect combination of fit, fabric, and presence without resorting to outdated rentals or overpriced designer boutiques. Perfect Tux provides options with better construction, modern styling, and more color range—giving you something worthy of your wedding album. If you’re local, our Santa Clarita showroom makes it easy to compare fits and finalize your look with hands-on guidance.

How to Choose the Right Groom Tuxedo

Fit: Classic, Modern, or Slim

Most grooms lean toward a modern fit for a clean, structured silhouette that photographs extremely well. Slim fit works if you prefer a sharper, tapered profile. Classic fit gives you more room while still looking polished—great for all-day comfort.

Lapel Style: Shawl, Peak, or Notch

Shawl lapels create a smooth, elegant line (perfect for black-tie weddings). Peak lapels bring a more powerful, formal presence. Notch lapels lean more “suit-like” but still work for semi-formal weddings. For more lapel options, explore shawl lapel tuxedos and peak lapel suits & tuxedos.

Color Selection

Black remains the gold standard for grooms, but navy, ivory, deep burgundy, and emerald are becoming favorites for modern weddings. Explore related tones in our blue tuxedos, suits & blazers, ivory tuxedos, suits & blazers, burgundy tuxedos, suits & blazers, and green tuxedos, suits & blazers collections.

Fabric & Seasonality

For spring and summer, lighter wool blends and breathable weaves keep you comfortable. For fall and winter weddings, richer fabrics and deeper colors stand out beautifully—similar to pieces in our fall suits & tuxedos and winter suits & tuxedos collections.

Body Type Considerations

If you’re broad-shouldered, a peak lapel or structured modern fit helps balance your frame. Slimmer builds typically photograph well in slim-fit silhouettes with a low-profile shawl lapel.

Accessories That Complete the Groom’s Look

A groom’s accessories should be intentional and elevated. Stick to a crisp tuxedo shirt, a satin bow tie, and a coordinating vest or cummerbund. You can explore options from our tuxedo shirts, bow ties, tuxedo vests, and cummerbunds collections. Finish the look with polished footwear from tuxedo shoes.

Styling Tips

Let the groom’s tuxedo set the tone. If the theme is classic and formal, go black with a satin peak lapel and a traditional bow tie. For modern weddings, consider navy, ivory, or a rich burgundy. Statement textures—like those found in our fashion tuxedos or paisley tuxedo jackets—can work beautifully for evening receptions or upscale venues. Keep the shirt crisp, the tie intentional, and the fit dialed in. The cleaner the lines, the better the photos.

Event-Specific Guidance

Black-Tie Weddings

A classic tuxedo is the standard here. Options from our black tuxedos collection deliver the most traditional and timeless look.

Modern or Luxury Weddings

Ivory, navy, velvet, or deep jewel-tone tuxedos elevate the groom without overpowering the wedding party. Consider inspiration from luxury tuxedos or velvet tuxedos & jackets.

Outdoor or Daytime Weddings

Lighter tones work well—ivory, cream, and soft blues. Browse related options in our ivory & cream suits or light blue suits collections.

Destination Weddings

Look for breathable fabrics and lighter hues. Our destination wedding attire collection offers additional inspiration for warm-weather ceremonies.

Coordinating With the Groomsmen

Your tuxedo should stand out, not match perfectly. Keep the groomsmen in a coordinating color or similar silhouette—options from our groomsmen tuxedos or groomsmen suits collections pair easily while still giving the groom separation.
