Red Carpet Looks For Your Nashville Groom From Street Tuxedo
Tuesday, June 21, 2011
We often watch red carpet proceedings and start fantasizing about their million dollar wardrobes. Now that you're in the throes of wedding planning, you're probably also noticing the guys in their suits and tuxes more. As you see George Clooney or Brad Pitt saunter down the carpet you've thought "What great style." Who knows, maybe your fiance's wondered if he could be a rock star in a cool tux for your wedding! Well guess what? Street Tuxedo can help!
Giving us the 411 on how you can get these looks with Street Tuxedo's very large inventory is Rachael Street who was really helpful when I went to her with pictures of these hot leading men and rock stars.
Classic Black
Jon Hamm's classic (and studly) tux is easily found from Street Tuxedo's large selection. From two button to three, flat front or pleated pants, the black tuxedo is posh and dignified and always a safe bet. If your groom wants to get the really dapper look, Street Tuxedo also carries self-tie bowties (which according to Rachael are becoming more popular of late) but also has clip-ons for ease of use.

Navy
We've seen navy take off as a popular color with dresses in fashion and even weddings but I personally have yet to see many grooms embrace this color tuxedo and I'd love to! This very sleek look on Andrew Garfield can be achieved with Street Tuxedo's Troy suit in Navy by Calvin Klein. The actor wears a skinny navy tie that Street Tuxedo carries in navy, blue, white and ivory and will eventually offer more colors since skinny ties are what's hot with guys now.

Steel Grey
For more of a suit look, a charcoal or steel grey tux by Jean Yves takes your rock star look up a notch or two. Worn with a dark grey tie, this look is less starched and stiff than a typical tuxedo but still more formal than just a suit. Very sharp.

Royal Style
Not only were the hats on the female guests at the Royal Wedding catching everyone's attention, the gentlemen who were in attendance also wore some very dapper tuxedos. "Not quite tails, the men wore cutaway style tuxedos with grey striped pants and charcoal coats" said Rachael, who noted that since that day, people have been requesting that style for their weddings!

Grey
Not exactly from the red carpet but when Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill got married, it really did look like he could have gotten his tux from Street Tuxedo! On the right, Nashville groom Jonathan wears Street's Calvin Klein grey tuxedo with an ivory tie and looks just as dapper.

Rachael also had some good advice for tuxedos and fit, namely with pants. With flat front pants becoming more popular in style, it is important to know that it's not a style that fits every body type. "We have a groom who has specified that anyone with a waist size of 38 and up in his party is to be given pleated front pants." She explained that flat front pants fit really snug around the thigh and hip area and that "usually, a tall, slender guy can get away with a flat front but a shorter more stout guy would not look as good in it." Grooms have been mixing pant styles to suit their groomsmen's body styles so that's always a good tip to keep in mind when dressing the men in your party. Not all the styles of tuxedos have pants that come in both flat and pleated front so be sure to clarify it with Street Tuxedo.

Blogging is something I’ve enjoyed doing for years. My interests lie mostly in lifestyle related topics like fashion, style, design, food and weddings. When I heard Ashley was looking to bring on new members to the ABG team, I jumped at the opportunity - I can’t think of a better way to stay involved in weddings than to write about them and to stay in touch with the trends and new ideas. Lucky for me, Ashley likes my blog and trusts my experience to bring me on and so far, it’s been a blast.
