Types of Tux Available at Tuxedo Rental Service

There are several factors to keep in mind regarding the style of your formal suit after you've decided to go the route of a tuxedo rental. Besides jacket style, you need to decide the type of collar you would like. And don't forget about the cuff style. While you rarely have to worry about what your cuffs look like in daily life, when wearing a tux, the cuffs can make you look fabulous or they can make you look poorly put together.

You can choose a cuff that simply closes with a button when you get your tuxedo rental. These tend to be boring and a bit on the casual side, but they're easy to wear and don't require cufflinks. For a more formal look, you should go for dress-shirt cuffs or French cuffs. Dress-shirt cuffs are cut a little different and are held together with cufflinks. You choose which type of cufflinks you'd like to personalize your look and help create that ultra-classy, formal look. French cuffs are a little more fashion-forwardly and definitely more formal. They're wider and are folded over. French cuffs, like dress-shirt cuffs, are held together with cufflinks which helps add to that classy, gentlemanly look.

A cufflink, for those who may not know, is an accessory that often accompanies formal wear like tuxes. Few tuxedo rental shops rent cufflinks, but some do. It's best to buy some yourself so that you can personalize your look. Be careful with your selection because they can make or break your overall look. For formal occasions and simple elegance, choose solid silver or gold. If you're a bit more trendy and your wedding or other occasion calls for it, you can try something outlandish with a little panache like something with color. Just make sure this decorative fastener fastens correctly so you don't have to worry about it popping off at the most inappropriate time.

Other accessories that can make or break the look of your tux include vests, waistcoats and cummerbunds. These are available at most tuxedo rental shops for an additional cost or may even be included with the cost of the tuxedo rental.

Vests, also called waistcoats, can add just the right amount of sophistication to your tux. They're available in a wide variety of colors and patterns so you can color match your groomsmen to your bridesmaids if that is what your fiancée would like. Vests can be backless, with a single strap around the lower back or with a full back. If you expect that you'll be taking off your jacket halfway through the night's dancing and fun, it's a better idea to select a full back vest.

Don't forget to carefully select your neckwear with your tuxedo rental. There's the standard bow tie that always looks formal. And then there's an assortment of different necktie collars and widths that can be tied in different styles. The staff at your choice of tuxedo rental store can help you choose an appropriate tie style.
