How To Put On A Tuxedo Vest

Perplexed by the tuxedo vest? We’re here to guide you through the process of putting on and adjusting your vest.

One of the biggest benefits of wearing a vest with a tuxedo is that if you take off your jacket, you still look formal and put together underneath. Whereas without one or with a cummerbund, your outfit may look incomplete without the jacket.

With plenty of color and pattern options for a vest (with a tuxedo or a suit), there are so many ways for you to customize your look and get the perfect outfit for your big day.

The downside of a vest, if you’re still not sure, is that it will cover up most of the studs in your fancy tuxedo shirt, but if that’s not something you’re worried about, then cool. Don either a bow tie or a long tie and get ready to have a blast.

More “How-to” videos can be found on our blog and YouTube channel.

Not quite to the putting-everything-on stage yet? No problem. Keep in mind, Generation Tux gives grooms the chance to perfect your look months before the wedding and delivers everyone’s outfit 14 days prior to your event. With 21 styles to choose from and thousands of accessory options, you are sure to find the right look for you.
