Choosing your wedding suit or tuxedo is one of the most important style decisions you will make on your wedding planning journey. Not only will your outfit affect how confident you are, it will also play a big role in how your photos will occur, how comfortable you are on the dance floor, and how well you fit the overall atmosphere of your wedding. To navigate this decision, we turned to the president of litigation expert Jason Jackson. Generation Tuxfor his insight.
According to Jackson, there are a few key factors to keep in mind when choosing your choice of what to wear on a wedding day. “There are a variety of factors to consider, but in reality it’s a few things. The first is the format of your event. He added that the colour of your outfit should reflect your wedding theme and personal talent, and that even a classic tuxedo can be personalized through a choice of tie and pocket squares.
When it comes to determining suits and tuxedos, the level of format must be your guide. “Choosing either a suit or a tuxedo really makes the form of the event. If you have a formal or black tie event, you want to wear a tuxedo,” Jackson explained. Within the tuxedo, lapel style can enhance your appearance even further. “The notch lapel is the most common and most popular tuxedo jacket. The next level is the peak lapel jacket. Finally, the most formal look is the shawl lapel,” he said. For less formal weddings, suits in classic shades such as black, navy, charcoal, gray are great, but bright colors like blue, tan and green are suitable for outdoor and summer weddings.
Regarding wedding trends in 2025, the Tux generation presidents have expressed a strong interest in timeless style. “The classic black tuxedos have made a big comeback in the last few years. We still see many wedding couples opting for a black notch lapel tuxedo,” Jackson said. He also highlighted the Mystic Blue and Grey Shark Skin as a popular year-round pick, highlighting the go-to British sunburns for spring and summer rituals.
When it comes to when to order your wedding suit or tuxedo, Jackson recommends planning ahead. “Most people should design their appearance about 3-4 months after their wedding day and try out a free home,” he advised. He also recommended not to wait long if adjustments were needed, and to allow time for changes to wedding party accessories and adjustment items.
For those who want to personalize their style, Jackson has plenty of suggestions. “If you want to stay traditional and enjoy a little bit of the wedding look, it’s easy to take a classic look and add style,” Jackson said. He suggested combining your suit with a bold or patterned tie, adding a vibrant pocket square, or playing with the colours of the vest for contrast. Footwear and socks are another area of ​​individuality. A wide variety of colours and your favorite sneakers can make your outfit feel more “you” than anything.
Accessories can be used to create or break the look of your wedding. Jackson encourages couples to think beyond the basics. Tie bars, cuff links, lapel pins, suspenders and unique shoes choices can all be integrated to add personal talent and elegance. “This is a head-to-toe look, and every piece is an opportunity to show character,” he said.
Fit is another important factor to consider. A suitable suit or tuxedo not only looks good, but also feels comfortable all day long. Jackson highlighted the importance of the Generation Tux home tride-on process. “You want to make sure you’re comfortable enough to move, dance and celebrate your jacket or pants without constant adjustments,” he said.
Jackson encourages finding a balance of unity and personality for marriage to LGBTQ+ couples wearing suits or tuxedos. “If both people in the wedding couple are wearing suits, that doesn’t mean you need to look exactly the same,” he said. Options include different accessories and matching suits, adjusting vests to complement each other, or suits of completely different colours, but adjusting with matching ties. “When you customize accessories and play costumes, the possibilities are endless,” he added.
And for couples seeking gender-extensive or non-traditional options, Jackson emphasized the importance of comfort and credibility. He shared that Tux offers comprehensive sizing and a wide range of fits for all body types and identities. “Everyone deserves to feel incredible about what they are wearing. Your outfit needs to reflect your identity and make you feel strong and proud,” he said.
Jackson also noted that many couples are leaning towards sustainability by opting for high quality rentals and litigation options made from recycled materials. Choosing pieces that can be worn again or mixed into your daily wardrobe is a smart and stylish choice.
For inspiration, Jackson shared that many clients love adjusting their wedding party looks by playing with color palettes and textures. “We see a lot of parties where groomers and attendants wear the same suits, but everyone gets ties and pocket squares of different colours to show off their individuality while remaining united,” he said.

Finally, Jackson left the couple one important advice. “Enjoy and don’t get overwhelmed, choose a vendor with the style and colour you are looking for that is unsettling.
With so many options available and the ability to personalize almost every detail, your wedding attire has just as memorable meaning as the rest of your special day. Whether you’re classic or contemporary, wild or sophisticated, Jackson reminds couples that confidence and authenticity are always in style.
