Short , Slender

Look for Single breasted with Peak Lapels. Other stylish options include wearing a Double breasted tuxedo jacket or subtly  patterned vest and tie. Be sure the pant should always break slightly on top of the shoe and angle a bit downward in back.

Short, Stocky

For athletic or muscular body types look best in tuxedo jackets with slim shawl collars. Choose jackets with a natural shoulder line and avoid the more broad European  styles. Pants should extend as low as possible on the foot, angled slightly in the back to elongate the leg.

Tall, Husky

For muscular with broad shoulders frames look best in shawl- collar tuxedos.The construction os the jacket may need to be a bit loose to provide ease of movement. Also  person with thick necks and wide faces should avoid narrow ties and wing-tip collars that look constrictive. Instead, opt for spread collars and fuller bow ties.

Tall, Slim


This type of person look well in just about every tuxedo style.  An especially good choice is a double-breasted tuxedo with slightly broad shoulders and a supressed waist.  Jacket buttons closed up high on the waistline look especially good, and high shoulder line is better than natural one.   Garments should be full, while still following the lines of the body, and trousers should also have a higher rise and more of a break in the pant.  This body type can easily wear vests and ties in colors and patterns.
