I'm a guy who lives in jeans. How do I begin to shop for tuxedos?

How do I find my best look?
If your style is traditional, you will be most comfortable in a classic tuxedo or tailcoat by After Six. After Six also offers a variety of contemporary, fashion forward style in a myriad of colors and fabrics.
Should I rent or buy my tuxedo?
Unless you attend formal events regularly throughout the year you should rent your tuxedos. Renting is an affordable way to have the most current styles for any occasion.
Are formalwear rules different in the summer?
Black tuxedos are perfect in every season. Fashion experts say that white and ivory work well in the summer and warmer climates. Along with our complete line of rental suits, White Diamond White and Ivory also make a great choice for destination weddings.
How does the wedding party get fitted?
If your wedding party lives locally, they can visit your formalwear specialist selected from our Store Locator. If they live out of town, your formalwear specialist will supply measurement cards for you to e-mail or fax them. Have them select a local store from our Store Locator, go for a fitting and then return the measurement cards to YOUR specialist at least two months before the wedding. The tuxedos will be altered and ready for your wedding day.
