Groomsmen Tuxedos

Tuxedos for groomsmen can vary wildly in price depending on the suit fabric, style, and whether it is a custom tuxedo, a rental tuxedo, or a wedding tux to buy. Rental tuxedos start at around $200, whereas a standard tuxedo for purchase is often around $400-$500, and custom tuxedos are typically around or over $1000–however, at SuitShop, a groomsman tuxedo for purchase is the same cost as a standard rental, and every wedding party member gets to keep their wedding day look. We highly recommend buying wedding tuxedos for groomsmen with SuitShop to get the best style and value.

There’s no one standard for covering the cost of tuxedos for groomsmen, it comes down to the specific wedding. Often, the groomsmen are responsible for paying for their own wedding attire. But some couples, nearlyweds, brides, or grooms choose to cover the cost of the groomsman tux–especially if the wedding tuxedos are bought to own, it’s a great gift from the couple to the groomsmen.

A black tie wedding dress code requires the groomsmen to wear tuxedos and other classic black tie accessories like black patent leather shoes, but there are other settings for groomsmen tuxes, too.

If your wedding is cocktail attire or semi-formal, for example, you can still have your groomsmen wear tuxedos! Your wedding party will have extra formality and stand out from the guests. So if that’s your goal, this is the perfect solution.

Finish the look with a bow tie, a tuxedo shirt, and patent leather dress shoes or formal loafers. Add suspenders, or make it even more formal with cummerbund. Extras like cuff links—made to go with formal French cuff dress shirts—lapel pins, and more really make the look shine. Keep it classic with simple black accessories, or echo your wedding color palette or bridesmaid dress color in the bow ties.
