Having a high quality suit or tux makes prepping for the big day a breeze. All you need to do is steam your outfit to ensure it looks its best. However, if you encounter more than minor wrinkling, you can reach out for assistance on their website where they can authorize complimentary pressing services, allowing you to visit your local dry cleaner. Moreover, Generation Tux is happy to reimburse you for pressing costs, covering up to $20 for this service.

Generation Tux offers suits and tuxedos that are designed to be worn by customers of any gender. However, it's important to note that the online fit algorithm operates based on male measurements. Female customers interested in wearing their clothes can contact the Customer Experience Team for personalized assistance in achieving the perfect fit. You can work closely with their team to ensure that the attire you’ve chosen aligns with your personal style and fits like a glove.

Knowing how to style and customize your wedding day outfit can be challenging for some couples, but Generation Tux stays one step ahead by providing tips and suggestions on their blog on how to choose and style their suits to fit your aesthetic and while looking your best.

Styles we’re loving

Among the wide array of options available at Generation Tux, there are some styles that we’ve been loving the most.

Bold and unexpected wedding fashion is always a favorite of ours, which is why this Hunter Green Suit has to make the list. Available in both modern and slim fits, and in both big and tall sizing, this suit is guaranteed to help you achieve a sleek look. To stun your guests by enhancing this suit’s rich green color, try pairing this suit with white, gold, or brown accessories.

There’s nothing wrong with a traditional black suit, but if you really want to stand out from the crowd on your wedding day, you’ll definitely want to slip into this Bright Blue Suit. The richness of this trending color strikes the perfect balance between formality and personality, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe. Pair with neutral toned accessories to suit a more formal setting.

If there’s one thing we love, it’s attire that blends style and function. In a harmonious collaboration, Generation Tux partnered with Allure Bridals to introduce the Vows Collection, a curated selection featuring four new suits that blends bold colors with breathable fabric for ultimate comfort. The collection consists of the Allure Dark Blue Suit, Allure Dark Brown Suit, Allure Light Gray Suit, and the Allure Beige Suit.

Finding the perfect fit

One of the most daunting aspects of renting formalwear online is ensuring the perfect fit. However, Generation Tux alleviates this concern with its innovative Fit Technology, which utilizes advanced algorithms to determine the ideal size based on your measurements. By simply inputting your measurements online, you can be at ease knowing that your outfit will be tailored to perfection, resulting in a flawless fit that’ll leave you feeling confident and comfortable.

Formalwear should fit every size and shape which is what this brand strives to accomplish. They offer a range of sizes from 3T to men’s 66L in both slim and modern fits. For those seeking slim fit styles, jackets and vests are offered in sizes up to 46XL, while pants are available with up to a 40” waist. Regardless of size, style, or color preference, you can easily find an outfit you’ll love.

Beyond the suits

While Generation Tux is renowned for its stunning selection of suits and tuxedos, its offerings extend far beyond suits and tuxedos. Customers can purchase everything from stylish accessories such as pocket squares, belts, suspenders and cufflinks to premium dress shoes, dress shirts, vests and cummerbunds, and more. You can receive fabric swatches to ensure that the material and colors live up to your expectations in person as they do online, however color swatches are exclusively for accessories such as ties and bowties, pocket squares, and select vests.

Decoding the price tags

When it comes to pricing, Generation Tux offers transparent and competitive rates that cater to a variety of budgets. Rental prices for suits and tuxedos typically range from $79 to $159 whereas you can expect to pay $699 to purchase any suit or tux. Keep in mind that these costs do not include the additional accessories you can add to your cart if you’re looking to try on an entire outfit from head to toe. In effort to make luxury formalwear more accessible and affordable, Generation Tux frequently offers promotions and discounts that can help grooms, groomsmen, and guests save even more when shopping their styles.

Where to shop

In today’s modern day and age, trekking out to boutiques and department stores are one of the least enjoyable experiences when it comes to shopping. To cater to the needs of those who are looking for convenience without sacrificing quality, Generation Tux sells and rents out their merchandise exclusively online. With no physical locations, Generation Tux offers nationwide shipping, bringing your chosen attire right to your doorstep. Once you head over to their website, you can take your time exploring the wide array of suits and tuxedos they have to offer. When you've settled on your choice, the process is straightforward – provide your measurements using their Fit Technology, receive personalized recommendations, and place your order.

For those gearing up for the big day, the Home-Try On feature is the ultimate game-changer that you won’t want to skip out on. Wedding couples and grooms can try on their selected pieces in advance to ensure that their suit or tux fits perfectly, but keep in mind that this feature, along with their style consultations, are not available to your wedding party.

Most couples wisely opt into the Home-Try On experience 3-4 months before their special day, though the flexibility extends up to 60 days prior to the event date. After the order is placed, the Home-Try On package will arrive at your door within 7-10 days. Once you've tried on your outfit you can hold onto your suit or tux for 48 hours before returning it. The last step is to finalize your order by logging back into your account and making those final purchases.

After placing your order, all you need to do is wait for the arrival of your carefully tailored ensemble. If, for any reason, you need to make changes or if something doesn't quite meet your expectations, their free return policy will help make the process of sending your attire back or making any exchanges as simple as can be.
