Men's Suits & Tuxedos

More About Men's Suits & Tuxedos

Men’s suits and tuxedos give you the foundation for almost every dressed-up occasion, from weddings and prom to black-tie events, galas, cruises, business celebrations, and special nights out. Whether you prefer a timeless black tuxedo, versatile navy or grey suit, warm tan or brown formalwear, or a bold velvet, paisley, floral, or statement jacket, the right look starts with choosing the style, color, fit, and level of formality that works for your event.

Men’s Suits vs. Tuxedos: What’s the Difference?

The biggest difference between a suit and a tuxedo is usually the level of formality and the finishing details. Suits typically use the same fabric throughout the jacket and trousers and are often styled with a dress shirt and necktie. Tuxedos traditionally incorporate formal details such as satin-faced lapels, covered buttons, and coordinating tuxedo trousers.

If you want a versatile outfit that can move between weddings, dinners, business events, and celebrations, start with our men’s suits. If the invitation says black tie or you want a more elevated evening look, explore our complete collection of men’s tuxedos.

How Formal Should Your Suit or Tuxedo Be?

The occasion should guide the outfit. A classic suit works beautifully for weddings, cocktail events, graduations, dinners, and many professional occasions. Tuxedos are the more traditional choice for black-tie weddings, formal galas, elegant evening events, and celebrations where the dress code specifically calls for formal attire.

You can also adjust the formality within each category. A navy or grey suit with a necktie feels polished and versatile, while a black or midnight-blue tuxedo with a bow tie creates a more traditional formal look. Velvet, paisley, floral, and patterned jackets move in another direction entirely, adding personality while keeping the outfit event-ready.

Men’s Wedding Suits & Tuxedos

Weddings give you more formalwear options than almost any other occasion. A groom might choose a classic black tuxedo, a navy or grey suit, a warm tan or brown look, a rich green or burgundy style, or a white or ivory dinner jacket depending on the venue, season, wedding colors, and desired level of formality.

Explore our wedding suits and wedding tuxedos to narrow the selection by wedding style. Grooms can also browse groom tuxedos, while wedding parties can compare coordinating groomsmen suits.

Men’s Suits & Tuxedos for Prom

Prom gives you permission to make the look more personal. Keep it timeless with black, navy, or grey, add color with burgundy, green, blue, or tan, or make the jacket the centerpiece with velvet, paisley, floral, metallic, and other patterned fabrics.

Shop Men’s Suits & Tuxedos by Color

Color is one of the easiest ways to narrow your formalwear search. Black remains a traditional choice for formal evenings, while blue and grey offer exceptional versatility. Tan and brown bring warmth to weddings and outdoor events, burgundy and green add richer color, and white or ivory can create striking wedding, cruise, and dinner-jacket looks.

Explore our black suits and tuxedos, blue suits and tuxedos, grey suits and tuxedos, tan suits and tuxedos, brown suits and tuxedos, burgundy and red suits and tuxedos, green suits and tuxedos, and white and ivory suits and tuxedos to compare color families more closely.

Classic Formalwear or a Statement Look?

There’s no single right way to dress formally. Traditional black, navy, charcoal, and grey styles create a clean foundation that can be worn for a wide range of events. More distinctive colors, patterned fabrics, velvet, paisley, and floral designs let the jacket take on more personality.

If you like the idea of making the jacket the focal point, explore our men’s dinner jackets. Shawl and peak lapels, velvet fabrics, patterns, and contrasting details can create a formal look that feels noticeably different from a traditional matching suit.

Men’s Formalwear for Galas & Black-Tie Events

When an invitation specifies black tie, the traditional approach is a tuxedo paired with a formal shirt, bow tie, and polished dress shoes. Black and midnight blue are classic choices, but velvet, patterned, and carefully styled statement tuxedos can add individuality when the event allows for a more expressive interpretation.

For event-specific options, browse our Galas & Special Events collection to compare classic tuxedos, formal suits, and statement jackets for elegant evening occasions.

Suits & Tuxedos for Cruises and Destination Events

Formal nights at sea, destination weddings, captain’s dinners, resort celebrations, and other travel events can call for everything from a traditional black tuxedo to a navy suit or white dinner jacket. The setting may be more relaxed, but the right formalwear still creates a polished look for the occasion.

Explore our Cruise Formal Wear collection for suits, tuxedos, dinner jackets, shirts, shoes, and accessories suited to elegant evenings and destination celebrations.

Choose the Right Fit

A great suit or tuxedo starts with the right size and silhouette. Modern and slim fits create different shapes through the jacket and trousers, and separates can make it easier to choose jacket and pant sizes independently when your measurements do not fall into a standard matched set.

Use our Sizing & Fit resources to explore measuring options and sizing help, or visit the Fit Guide to compare fit types and learn how the jacket, pants, shirt, and other pieces should work together.

Build the Complete Formal Look

The suit or tuxedo sets the foundation, but the shirt, tie, pocket square, shoes, and other accessories determine how the finished outfit feels. A white shirt and black bow tie can create a traditional black-tie look, while colored neckwear and pocket squares make it easier to coordinate with wedding colors, a prom date, or the theme of an event.

Complete your outfit with our dress and tuxedo shirts, neckties, bow ties, pocket squares, and formal shoes.

Compare Colors & Fabrics Before You Order

Formalwear colors can look different depending on fabric texture, lighting, photography, and the colors surrounding them. That becomes especially important when you’re coordinating a wedding party, matching bridesmaid dresses, comparing similar shades, or choosing between several fabrics within the same color family.

Use our Color Guide to explore hundreds of fabric and color options, and order free fabric swatches to compare colors and textures in person before making your final selection.

Whether you need a versatile suit you’ll wear again, a traditional black-tie tuxedo, coordinated wedding-party formalwear, or a statement look for prom or a special event, the best choice is the one that fits the dress code, fits you properly, and feels right for the moment.
