 Recent Trends in FormalwearMichael Mantegna is owner of top New York City custom tailor boutique, Michael Andrews BespokeMenswear in general has become more fitted in the past few years, and tuxedos are no exceptions. Gone are oversized shoulders and billowing trousers. Look for a tuxedo jacket with a trim fit through the chest and stomach. The jacket should be as snug as possible without pulling or feeling uncomfortable. Make sure the jacket fits in the shoulders - the pads should not extend out past your arms. Opt for flat-front trousers if possible. For a more contemporary tuxedo, look for narrower lapels (3" wide or less) and silk braids on the trousers (the stripes up the pant legs) that are 3/4" wide or less.
