How to Pull Off an All Black Tuxedo

An all black tuxedo can be incredibly sexy and stunning if it's done right. When this is done without thought or attention to detail it can look morbid and silly. Almost anyone can pull this off with a few hints and tricks.

Pulling off an all black tuxedo is something that can be done. Most tuxedos are traditionally white and black. If you want to be able to pull off such a formal suit that is all one color you will need to have some confidence and the right tools in order to pull it off.

• Find a good pair of dress shoes that are of an old style made by a modern designer. For the best look, go with a loafer or an Oxford. If you are looking to further modern out your look, then go with modern style slip on dress loafers or even leather moccasins that are formal.


• Pick a black bowtie that you feel comfortable wearing. A black silk tie can be a great modern addition to your tux. If you are continuing on with the modern theme, then a skinny tie that is also black can be the perfect accessory.


• Make sure that all of the blacks match each other. You don’t want to have one piece of your tux to be a different color black than the rest. It will stand out and look tacky.


• Figure out the best possible way to fix your hair. You may want to go with a slightly disheveled look or be traditional by sleeking it back.
