What kind? When choosing your tux, consider your body type, and think about the way the lines of your tuxedo will direct attention. A peak lapel (where the collar points upward), for example, draws the eye toward the shoulders, while an asymmetric vest will prompt people to glance at your stomach. If you're a bigger guy, a shawl collar (which has a rounded edge) will be more slimming than a peak lapel. If you're on the shorter side, try to avoid double-breasted jackets and opt for a two- or three-button tux with the buttons set low.

What about my guys? Once you've figured out you own attire, your groomsmen can follow suit. If you're having your guys wear matching suits or tuxes, choose a rental store and pick a style that will go with your wedding's theme. If your groomsmen live throughout the country, pick a store that has many convenient locations -- if your guys are really far-flung ask them to send their measurements to your local rental shop. Also remind them how much of the deposit they'll need to bring, and when they'll have to return the rental to avoid late fees.
