Formal attire questions, answered
What is formal attire for men?
A tuxedo or a dark, well-tailored suit with a dress shirt, a tie or bow tie, and formal shoes. A complete rental package includes every piece, sized for you.
Is formal attire a tuxedo or a suit?
Either works. A tuxedo is the dressier choice, while a dark navy or charcoal suit is perfectly formal for most events.
What is the difference between formal and black tie?
Black tie specifically requires a tuxedo. Formal is a little more flexible and allows a dark suit as well as a tuxedo.
What color suit counts as formal?
Navy, charcoal, and black. Lighter grays and colors read as semi-formal or cocktail rather than formal.
Can you wear a navy suit to a formal event?
Yes. A well-tailored navy or charcoal suit is a solid formal choice. Add a tie and formal shoes to complete the look.
How much does a formal rental cost?
A complete tuxedo or suit package rents from $159 with everything but the shoes, shipped free both ways. The groom rents free with five.
