Suits that Fit Your Groom

Not all guys are built the same. One of these tuxes will make the most of his physique.

1 Button

If he’s on the short side and has a husky build, this one is for him. The shawl collar’s clean lines will lengthen his torso, while playing down a round face or thick neck. Tuxedo and accessories by Joseph Abboud.

2 Button

Is he thin and trim? Men under 5’8” look best in a two-button tux with a narrow cut—one with elongated lines and peak lapels will visually add inches to the upper body. Tuxedo by Jean Yves Designer. Accessories by Mel Howard Elite.

3 Button

For an athletic body type, a three-button design with a notch collar will enhance his broad shoulders. Tuxedo by Jones New York. Accessories by Joseph + Feiss. Boutonnieres, by Lisa Moreta for Paisley.

5 Button

If he’s 6’ or taller, this style will work for him. Worn open, the jacket’s boxy cut flatters a well-defined physique; fastened, the row of buttons complements a leaner shape. Tuxedo by Joseph + Feiss. Accessories by Claiborne.

Double- Breasted

Tall, thin guys can pull off this debonair look. The styling draws the eye to a trim midsection and defines the shoulders. Tuxedo by Joseph + Feiss. Accessories by After Hours.
