In Oscar de la Renta's new Oscar Formal collection, the new trend in longer jackets and bold monochromatic looks sets the new fashion standard for grooms and their groomsmen. While black continues to be the most popular color in men's formalwear, according to Bennett, new grays are becoming a top choice, especially for the men's wedding party. Or the groom may wear gray and put his groomsmen in black. For spring and summer 2001, Bennett predicts white will be a major fashion statement for formal events. But comfort is the bottom line, no matter what the groom is wearing, concludes Bennett.
Every man wants to look tall and slender, but they want comfort first.
These new tuxedos cut to provide that illusion, but fit is very important to comfort, especially on such an important day.
