How To Choose a Tuxedo Color

By Victor Santerino

Tuxedo colors come in many different shades and hues. I wrote this article to help you see how your body type, skin tone, and the particular event you are going to should dictate which color to wear. I will review the classic colors and help you decide which color to choose.

Classic colors such as black, gray, midnight blue, brown, and white will generally work for most events and all skin colors. These colors look are especially great for formal events such as weddings, fancy dinners, and black tie affairs.

The black tuxedo goes great with and skin color, event, and even body type. The color black does a great job conforming to naturally slim men and women. It also does a fantastic job at making larger men look slimmer than they really are. This tuxedo is highly recommended for anybody's first tuxedo purchase.

Gray tuxedos can be worn by both slim and large body types. However, your body type will determine which shade of gray to choose. The light gray tux is not very flattering to the larger body. This is because lighter shades show the body off better than darker colors. Slim and fit men and women should wear light gray and larger less in shape bodies should wear more of a charcoal gray.

Blue has been worn to all types of occasions but has shifted to dark blue for most modern formal occasions. Light blue can also be worn to many occasions, however this color is best left to people with better toned body types.

White tuxedos are great for men and women with dark complexions. It is also great for people with fit bodies that don't mind being accentuated. People wearing this type of tux will look great in most formal situations.

The brown tux has regained some of its popularity over the last few years. This is probably because it looks great on all skin colors and with all body types. A nice dark chocolate brown is still very formal but slightly different than the norm.

These ideas can be used when purchasing any color tuxedo you may be considering. Remember that the darker the tux, the better it will look on less fit bodies. Thank you for reading this article and have a great week!
