Everyone loves to have options in the world today, but when it comes to planning your wedding too may options can seem overwhelming. We are here to help you understand the three fits found in tuxedos. Whether you are looking for a classic event or a more contemporary flair we can help find the style right for you! Traditional Fit A traditional fit tuxedo is great for any shape or size. They are a “softer” silhouette, giving it a truer fit through the body of the coat. The coat length on this style hits at a traditional dinner jacket length. The lapels  are usually done in a satin of some type and are slightly more prominent. These jackets are usually a non vented  back. With this style you have two options for pants. The options are pleated or flat front.  While pleated was the fad for many years, flat front pants have become the style of choice. This look is a fit that everyone will look amazing in and a classic look for any big day. Modern Fit The modern fit tuxedo is a reflection of the traditional fit. It is the same soft silhouette through the body of the coat, but they do feature a shorter jacket length by one inch. These jackets are usually vented in some way. The lapel on this jacket can be a variety of fabric and the it is slightly narrower than the traditional fit. This jacket can be worn with a slim fit pant to give it a  more fashion forward look, or the pleated or flat front pants in the regular fit. The slim fit pants taper down from the knee and hit slightly higher on the heel of the shoe. The modern fit is a great medium between more classic and contemporary look. Slim Fit The slim fit tuxedo is done in a more accentuated silhouette. The jacket has a slighter shoulder and a highly tapered fit. This jacket is usually vented and also has the narrower lapel found in the modern fit jackets. The length of this jacket varies depending on style or designer, and can be either the same length as the modern or traditional dinner jacket length. These jackets are worn with a slim fit pant and are the most contemporary  in style. Want to see what we’re talking about?
