Suit or tuxedo for the groom? You're getting married. You're plan- ning your wedding-the invitations, the colors, the flowefs, the gown youre going to wear. But what is your husband-to-be going to wear? Do you want to go formai and have him wear a tuxedo? Or would a gorgeous suit be better? Here are a few tips to help you make the best choice-both fashion-wise as well as economically, from Jimi Stan- kovic, president of J. Schoeneman. Schoeneman is one of the oldest and largest tailored men's clothing manu- facturers in the U.S., and makers of DeRigueur suits and tuxedos. "What we are seeing is more and more men choosing to wear a suit rather than a tuxedo for their wed- ding,- says Jim Stankovic. Its a one- ti me occasion and rather than putting the money towards the rentai of a tuxedo, they choose to make a wise investment and purchase a high- quality tailored suit that wiII cross over for a variety of occasions, from business to weddings to black tie optional events"The gentleman should select a dark business suit either navy or gray and wear a white shirt with a suitable dark tie. When the option is available, he will have a suit that works for as many situations as possible. "Tuxedos make a high-fashion statement and there has been a recent revival in tneir popularity. They lend an air of elegance to any occasion, however, the cost of renting a tuxedo can be quite high. If a gentleman wears a tuxedo more than once a year, thien he may want 10 consider buying his own,"says Stankovic. By shopping carelully it is far more economical to, purchase rather than rent. Il is a purchase for a lifetimne of wear so0 don't be taken ini by lads. Stankovic advises that il is best to stay with a single-breasted, conservative cut with either silk-faced shawl collar or peaked lapels (neyer velvet). This wiIl always be in style. And because it will be worn year-round. it is best to select a fabric such as black tropical-weiLht wool. "Whether the decision is a tuxedo or a great-looking suit, remnember quality is always the key word in. fashion today,' says Stankovic. "If' you don't have good quality you haveni't made a wise choice and you won't look good." So select wisely and enjoy t9e wedding.
