is a chocolate brown tux weird?? -links in post-

samanthakelso

Now that the dress is set, it's time to pick a tuxedo. He's going to ultimately choose what he likes, but since he doesn't know what the dress looks like, I get to make sure it will match.  It will probably be a week or so until we have time to go look together. Has anyone seen a chocolate brown tux in person? This is the one I found online that I like http://www.mytuxedocatalog.com/tuxedos/C913-Chocolate-Parisian-Tuxedo/

I also like tan and dove gray. Here is a tan one http://www.mytuxedocatalog.com/tuxedos/C994-Tan-Allure-Tuxedo/

We are having a rustic-ish wedding, my dress is allure 8858 (lace and tulle a line ballgown). Any opinions? I'm clueless in the way of the tux, lol!

I prefer the darker one.

Definitely let FI pick what he and the groomsmen will be comfortable with.

Consider gray or tan suits if FI does not like traditional black tuxes.

Honestly, the only color a tux should be, IMO, is black.

If you want to mix things up with color then go the suit route.

But I would let your FI pick what he would prefer the most.  Either a suit or tux will go with your dress.

I agree with this. A colored tuxedo would look outdated. I also agree that a tan or grey suit looks good on lots of different kinds of people though.

I think the chocolate brown tux looks a little too Willy Wonka for my taste.   I think in a few years it's going to look VERY dated (kind of like we think powder blue and mauve tuxes look dated now).

I agree that tuxes should be black.   A grey, tan, black, or brown suit would be okay though.

Sorry but I'm not a fan of colored tuxes.

My cousin and his GMs wore brown tuxes. They were fine. I just don't think they really look like tuxes.

Agree 100%.

 He's even more picky than I am, so this is likely to be a drawn out process.
Thanks to the people who were nice about it

I personally am not a fan of chocolate brown tuxes. Definitely let him choose, though. A tan suit would look really nice.

I really don't care for the chocolate brown but the lighter one and the grey are okay

I don't care for the chocolate brown, but I really like the tan one. I think you should ask your fiance' what he thinks.

[QUOTE]In 1976, pastel colored tuxes were the rage.  Everyone has their guys wearing powder blue, mint green, tan, even pink tuxedos with ruffled shirts.  I refused to follow the trend and had the guys in classic black - thank heavens! I think chocolate brown and grey tuxedos will look just as silly in the future.  Stick with classic black and you'll be glad you did!  (I HATE chocolate brown tuxedos!!!)

I don't dismiss good manner as they never change with time.  

HOWEVER:  Traditions do change and I'm quite thankful of that.  Customs and traditions do change and it doesn't help to hide in the closet.
