Tuxedo Trends and Tips
By: Nancy Miller

Tuxedo styles in the Pocono area reflect the nationwide trend towards diversity. Gone are the days when a groom wore a simple black tuxedo with a matching classic cummerbund and bow tie. Today, when that special guy "pops the question" he has hundreds of formalwear styles to choose from and many tuxedo packages available for him and the wedding party.

When looking for tuxedos, find a store that suits your personality and needs. In the Poconos, tuxedos are available in men's shops, dry cleaners, bridal salons, and specialized tuxedo stores. Many grooms prefer stores that are owner operated.

Inquire about special packages and services offered by each store. Some offer a free tuxedo to the groom when an entire party is booked. Others have a pick-up service, so the wedding party does not need to worry about returning the garments. Shop around and find the store with the best options for your wedding party.

Another consideration is style. There is a huge selection of designer tuxedos as well as vests, accessories and shoe styles. A long tie or button cover are alternatives to the traditional bow tie. Stores specializing in only tuxedos may offer more styles and accessories.

Selecting tuxedos will take some time and effort. Be sure to find an establishment with the right styles, prices and professional attitude to make your wedding attire perfect.
