Men's formal attire is starting to evolve. Finally. We are seeing more and more trendy accessories and a dramatic move towards fashion in the men's formal wear department.
Most recently, it seems as though there has been a shift from the old classic Black tuxedo for weddings, to the newer more stylish Blue tuxedos and suits.
Black Tie by Michelle's, along with
Jim's Formal Wear brings our Grooms-to-Be two popular choices:

Stephen Geoffrey Slate Blue Aspen | Style 382
For a polished look, the Slate Blue Aspen tuxedo is a stylish choice. Tailored in 100% worsted wool with a slim fit styling, it's contemporary notched lapels edged in satin add a touch of luxury to this fashion- forward style. Pair with matching flat front, modern slim fit pants and a matching fullback vest for a 3-piece tuxedo look.
Stephen Geoffrey Slate Blue Aspen: This outstanding tuxedo takes style to the next level. The complimenting color, slim, stylish fit and designer details on this tux makes it a
Michelle's Bridal and Tuxedo favorite! Not sure how to accessorize? Your sharp look can be achieved with the matching wool vest, or by pairing the coat and pants with a colored vest and tie of your choice to match your wedding party. You cannot go wrong however you choose to wear this tuxedo.

Michael Kors Navy Sterling Wedding Suit | Style 372
A contemporary style with a flattering fit, the Navy Sterling Wedding Suit is tailored to fit all body types. Its lightweight Venetian Super 130's wool fabric gives it the most comfortable fit and feel available. Details such as the self-framed notch lapel, elegant purple satin lining and matching modern slim fit pants with an adjustable waist, belt loops and buttons to accommodate suspenders make this suit an excellent choice for your next formal affair. Pair it with a matching wool vest for a 3-piece look.
Michael Kors Navy Sterling Wedding Suit: "Stylish and fashionable without all of the fancy satin fuss" is how this Michael Kors wedding suit has been described. This suit is a perfect option for an outdoor or slightly less formal occasion, or for the Groom who just wants less 'fuss'. The pants can be paired with a belt or suspenders, and because there is no satin, it can be dressed down with a more casual shirt and footwear, but still maintain a three-piece, well put-together look.
