Choosing a Tux

The Modern Tux Experience

Wedding Tuxedo Timeframe

For weddings, we recommend starting the tuxedo or suit process about 6 months before the wedding date. This allows the groom to select a style, coordinate colors and accessories, and get professionally measured with plenty of time to plan for the entire wedding party. Groomsmen should be measured within the following few months, including out-of-town members, and all details are typically finalized 1–2 months before the wedding. Tuxedos arrive in store the week of the wedding for final try-ons and any last-minute adjustments, ensuring everything is perfect for the big day.

 

Prom Tuxedo Timeline

For prom, the timeline is shorter. We recommend coming in 6–8 weeks before prom for the best selection of styles, colors, and sizes. This provides enough time for proper fitting and any necessary exchanges. While it’s still possible to get a tuxedo 3–4 weeks before prom, options may be more limited, and anything closer than 1–2 weeks out is considered rush service with very limited availability. Starting early helps ensure the best look with the least stress.

Choosing a tuxedo should be an enjoyable and memorable experience. At Modern Tux, our experienced, dedicated staff is committed to making sure your selection and fitting go as smooth as possible.

The Perfect Tux Style for You

Trendy? Traditional? It all depends upon your unique personality. First you’ll want to choose a coat—the focal point of any tuxedo. A tuxedo coat can have any one of four basic lapel styles — notch, peak, shawl, other — and up to six buttons. Next, if you’re leaning towards trendy, you’ll want a colorful vest (maybe even something with a wild pattern) baggy pants, and a shoe with black-and-white tips. For something a little more traditional, you’ll want a vest with a more subdued color, a black bowtie, and side-stripe pants. Again, don’t stress—we’re here to help.

Our selection of tuxedos features the latest styles from today’s top designers.
