Pacific Island Tuxedo Rental & Sales

Can I make a fashion statement with the shoes I choose? According to tuxedo experts, a formal event calls for very basic, rounded shoes. Black is the only acceptable color, and stay away from tassels, hooks, or other adornments on the shoes that will take away from overall look of the tuxedo.

Tuxedos worn at "black tie" events such as galas and fund raisers are typically more traditional in their styling with accessories to match. Recently, however, there is a vogue for wearing long ties with dinner jackets, a complete departure from tradition.

A modern touch on the cummerbund involves different colors. While the jacket and pants remain black or midnight blue, the cummerbund is often sold in a variety of colors and generally always matches the color of the bow tie.

The term tuxedo is generally used as an overall term to describe a whole range of formalwear. Options include the classic tailless jacket as well as a tailcoat, mandarin jacket, morning coat, and stroller coat. Try on different styles at the tuxedo rental shop to see which one you like best.

What’s a self-faced tuxedo jacket? It describes any tux jacket, regardless of style, cut, material or detailing, that features lapels made of the same material as the jacket body rather than satin or grosgrain.

It’s important to remember that the world of tuxedo rentals has changed quite a bit over the years. While there used to just be one tuxedo style men could rent that would provide an OK fit, we now have more options that should give you the fit you really need.
