A black tuxedo is a classic choice for weddings. If you want to play up an informal feeling for your occasion, try wearing a grey tuxedo or a black suit with colored accents. The color black is often used in summer weddings. It can be paired with white or grey to create a sophisticated and elegant look.

At the turn of the 20th century, tuxedos were sold primarily in two colors: black and gray. Leading up to WWI, gray achieved its peak in popularity. The lighter hue was all but forgotten after the war ended and, in its place, the color blue stepped in.

Tuxedos are usually made with premium fabrics such as satin or silk. The most expensive tuxedos use satin made of silk fibers. Silk is a luxury fabric that is used in high-end fashion garments. While you can find less expensive (and less luxurious) fabrics such as polyester, these fabrics are not as common in tuxedos.
