Chose a shawl collar tuxedo. This type of tuxedo has a thinner, rounded collar which will help you look a bit more on the slender side.
Jacket Type

Wear a single-breasted jacket. A double-breasted jacket adds volume to your frame, so it's best to leave this look to men with a slender to medium build.

Vest or Cummberbund?

Opt to wear a vest with your tuxedo, instead of a cummerbund. A vest will disguise your stomach, but a cummerbund will enhance it.
Tuxedo Color

Wear a black tuxedo, as this is a very slimming color. Choosing to wear a light-colored tuxedo will emphasize your husky body type more.
Find the Right Fit

Get measured for your tuxedo by a professional. This person will be able to help you decide the proper tuxedo size for your frame. A tuxedo that doesn't fit right can make you look larger than you actually are, so you want to make sure to have the right fit.
