Are You Wearing The Right 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.

The classics such as gray, black, midnight blue, white, and brown work well with a large array of skin colors and events. Wear these colors to your formal events such as black tie affairs, fancy dinners, and weddings.

Black tuxedos will great on any body type. The color black has a great slimming effect which makes it perfect for larger builds. However, it will also look great on slimmer more streamlined bodies because it adds to the natural good looks of a person.

The gray tux comes in both light gray and charcoal gray. Larger men should always go with the charcoal gray version while slimmer men should base their decision off of skin shade. The lighter your skin the darker your tux should be.

Dark blue is very formal in nature and is great for looking different at a black tie affair. This color looks especially good on people with lighter skin tones. The light blue tux looks great with both light and dark skin shades. People with fit and well toned bodies will look better in a light blue tux than men and women with less flattering body types.

The white tux is perfect for people with fit bodies and darker skin tones. This tuxedo really shows off a persons natural physique and skin tone. Wear this tux to most formal affairs to look fancy but not too flashy.

The brown tuxedo looks fantastic on all body shapes and with all skin tones. This color is not as widely used as the other colors but is still very appropriate for all occasions. Wear this tux to add a bit off subtle difference to your style.

I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. Apply these principles to your everyday tux purchases and you cannot go wrong. - 15634
