Groomsmen Tuxedos

At SuitShop, groomsmen tuxedos start at $199 and cost the same as a typical rental, but your wedding party members keep their tux for future events. Most wedding rental tuxedos start around $200, standard tuxedos for purchase run $400-$500, and custom tuxedos are often $1,000 or more.

It varies by wedding. Often, groomsmen pay for their own attire, but some couples cover the cost as a gift—especially when buying tuxedos to own rather than renting.

No. While black tie requires tuxedos, you can have your groomsmen wear tuxedos at cocktail or semi-formal weddings too. It adds extra formality and helps your wedding party stand out from guests. Groomsman tuxedos feel classic for traditional weddings regardless of the formality of the guest attire.

Finish the look with a bow tie, tuxedo shirt, and patent leather dress shoes or formal loafers. Add suspenders or a cummerbund for extra formality. Cuff links, lapel pins, boutonnières, and other extras elevate the look further. Keep it classic with black accessories, or coordinate bow ties and pocket squares with your wedding colors or bridesmaid dresses.

A tuxedo features satin details on the lapels and waistband, while a suit uses matching fabric throughout. These satin details, along with other finishes like slit pockets instead of flap pockets, make tuxedos more formal than suits. Tuxedos are traditional for black tie wedding attire, though many couples now choose suits for a modern look or to add more color to their wedding.

Groomsmen tuxedos at SuitShop cost about the same as a tux rental, but when you buy, your wedding party members own their tuxes to wear again. Unlike Generation Tux, The Black Tux, or other tuxedo rentals, our wedding tuxedos are yours to keep.

Pair your tux with a formal white shirt like a tuxedo shirt with studs or a French cuff dress shirt, a bow tie or floral tie, and a pocket square. A vest, waistcoat, or cummerbund can add another layer of style that coordinates with bridesmaid dresses and your wedding color palette.

Our Fit Finder helps each groomsman find their perfect fit for their body type in minutes, no measurements or appointment required! If you or your groomsmen do prefer an in-person fitting, we offer appointments for free in nation-wide showrooms. 

Jackets, pants, and vests are sized separately in slim fit and modern fit options, along with multiple lengths and an industry-best size range, so every man in your wedding party gets the right size.

It’s best to order groomsmen tuxedos around 6 to 8 weeks before your wedding. This gives time for fitting, shipping, try-on, and any alterations or exchanges, and questions your wedding party might have. But, last-minute groomsmen tuxedo orders also work at SuitShop.
