Black shirt with black tux?

ASquared11

So my fiance and I were possibly thinking of having him wear a black tux, with a BLACK shirt, and then an ivory vest and tie.  And having the groomsmen wear white shirts with black vest and tie.  I've seen one person do this and it looked awesome, does anyone else have pictures or thoughts on this?

I think this looks pretty good.

My brother did this with a silver vest and tie.  It looked fabulous.

Mine's wearing a black tux, black shirt, black vest and white tie. It looks awesome!

sounds super cool to me, the pp's picture sold me, and if my fiance wasn't already set on something else I'd be pushing it!

I'll be the minority - I don't like the look at all. I love a good old traditional tux.

I do like it alot.  I'd suggest no to the white shirts though, if your dress is ivory.  See if the place has an ivory shirt, or a slightly off white shirt.  that way their stark white shirts dont' clash with your ivory dress.

Personally, I really don't like the black shirt with tux look.  It takes away from the formality of the tux, imo.  That said, I think your FI should choose his tux.  If he chooses the black, I would probably do the same with the GMs but maybe with a different tie color or something.

not a fan. It's kinda... guido-tastic for my taste,

Thanks everyone!  More thoughts welcome!  Bridesmaids are in jcrew hazel blue silk chiffon sophia dresses.   We want a little more relaxed then the typical black tux but my fiance doesn't want a suit since he has to wear them often for work, so we're trying to figure something that would work!

Thank you!

I love it. If my FI wants to wear a tux, I'm going to steer him in this direction!
