Random question about tuxes

nde99

Okay, so I know this is strange, because it's nothing I have ever thought of until we went to order the tuxes, but what is the norm when it comes to men's pleats in pants? We could do flat front, 1 pleat or 2 pleats. What is normal? It's nothing I've ever noticed, so I know it's not that big of a deal, but I'm just curious. The woman at MW told us that 1 pleat is most flattering, but I was watching What Not to Wear (yes, my guilty pleasure) and Clinton said no men should ever wear pleats. Any thoughts?

I've never thought about pleats on tuxes either.  I just thought they were all flat-front.  I agree with Clinton- no pleats look best.  All pleats do for me is add volume to my stomach area- something that I do not need more of.

Flat front looks more modern Pleats minimize bulge So if heavy set GM 1 pleat if obease 2 pleats. But unless very wide flat front is best looking in my opinion mmmm men in tuxes mmmmm

It never came up. If your FI has no comment, go with whatever's cheaper. I guarantee 99.9999% of the guests won't notice or care. I also would always agree with Clinton--he hasn't steered me wrong yet.
