Months out vs Week-of: Timing is key for any major event whether it’s prom, a wedding, or an important ceremony. If you can avoid last-minute shopping, we recommend picking out your tux or suit around two months out. This allows ample time to have your formal wear tailored, and allows you some wiggle room if you’re #sheddingforthewedding. Say an event is sprung on you, or maybe you misplaced a save-the-date, chances are you can find something. The fit may not be perfection, but as long as you’re not drowning in fabric, you’ll look great! |
Suit vs Tux: The first thing you should ask yourself is, “How formal are we going?” If you’re still not sure, it’s always a good rule to follow your date’s lead. If they’ve gone super formal -- think red carpet, Oscar-level decked out -- then a tux is your best bet. If they’ve gone more dialed back, you can dawn your favorite suit. No matter what, we recommend setting the tone as a couple and wearing what makes you both feel handsome and confident. |
Online vs Instore: You can probably guess what we’re going to say here… SHOP LOCAL. There are some amazing places you can pick out your formal wear or have pieces made. One of our favorites is Tuxes Too. Since 1990, they have been Mississippi’s premier source for men’s formal wear. Tuxes Too offers the finest in fashion from Michael Kors, Allure for Men, and Neil Allyn. What makes them stand out -- other than 30 years of quality service -- is their wide in-stock selection. Why is this important? Everything they have listed online is hanging in-store. That means, minimal wait time, and maximum service because you can have your fitting scheduled as soon as possible. |
