Instructions

    • 1

      Identify your body type.

      If you have a lean frame but don't have a lot of height, be sure to choose a tuxedo set with a low-button stance. Also make sure that it doesn't have more material than you need so that the tuxedo does not look too big on your frame.

    • 3

      Are you more heavy set but not very tall? Plan to find a single-breasted tuxedo, and make sure that the tux isn't too tight.

      Tall and lean? If so, you're in luck: almost all tuxedos will look great on your body type.

    • 5

      Tall but muscular? Your best bet is to find a tuxedo with neat lines and not a lot of bulk. Just keep in mind sizing issues and make sure that the suit is well-tailored.
