Choosing the right color tuxedo for a special event or a wedding can be a chore, so many men avoid wearing a tuxedo. Even on their wedding day, some men feel uncomfortable in a white or black tuxedo. They even feel uncomfortable in a white dinner jacket and a pair of black pants. Those men live in what the fashion police call “tuxedo fear.” Tuxedo fear is a phobia that strikes men early in life. They don’t know where to wear a tuxedo and how it should fit. Most of those men are aging Baby Boomers, not the Millennials who are changing the rules when it comes to wearing a tuxedo.
But there are Baby Boomers who know how to wear a mens white wedding tuxedo even when it is their second or third time around. Those men respect what the bride wants to wear, so there is a subtle elegance in the choice to wear white instead of black. A white dinner jacket with a black lapel and black pants may be the choice that suits the occasion. Or a white dinner jacket with gold trim is another way to enjoy the royal wedding atmosphere without causing a breakdown in etiquette. Mens White wedding tuxedos rock when men wear them to express their inner style guru. Expressing that inner style guru takes a bit of experience and a large dose of self-confidence. And that’s is why Millennial men are able to pull off the white tuxedo look better than Generation X and the Baby Boomers.
A white Tuxedo sets the mood for any regal event. Millennials know how to accessorize so a white tux is just the base for artistic expression on that special day. The tie, cuff links, cummerbund, and shoes should be the icing on the cake. A black tie with tiny blue specks, a pair of gold cufflinks, a cummerbund that matches the tie, and a pair of light blue, pointed toe lace ups will give any white tuxedo a fresh fashion paint job.
There are pros and cons when it comes to mens white wedding tuxedos, but the pros outweigh the cons. A man who knows how to put the finishing touches on a white tuxedo will stand out without over-stepping. A man who knows how to express his personal style in a white dinner jacket or a white wedding suit will shine regardless of the weather. Wearing white shows confidence and individual style.
