Cool. Calm. Collected. For any guy, this is the kind of imagery you want a suit to conjure. Grooms, if you want you to deviate from traditional black tuxedos, then take a look at these styles to find shades of gray to best display your personalities for your Las Vegas weddings.
Rugged Fierce:

Ready for any real man, this dark gray tuxedo gives grooms the best balance of fashion-forward enigma and classic style. Complete with a satin-edged peak lapel, two buttons, and sleek pockets, this Calvin Klein look works for late afternoon or evening weddings. Pair it with a gray vest, a gray silk necktie or Euro tie, and a white spread collar shirt for the ultimate attire.
Posh Sophistication:

Capture your bride’s attention with this smooth, suave tuxedo. Known as the Steel Grey Twilight Tuxedo, this Jean Yves design presents a single-breasted, two-button jacket with fully satin pockets, lapels, and collar. Pair it with a silver silk necktie, and wear a winged collar shirt for the epitome of evening formalwear.
Sporty Style:

Tackle the balance between formal and casual with a light gray tuxedo that sports two buttons, flap pockets, and a notch lapel. Designed for weddings in full daylight, this style gives grooms the comfort of a sport coat with its construction but the formality of a tuxedo with its satin trim. Finish strong with a formal shirt, complemented by a Windsor knot tie, full vest, and pocket handkerchief that blends with the wedding’s colors.
Classic Charm:

Achieve a traditional look that’s appropriate for formal weddings with a black tuxedo that features gray pinstripes. Created to respect conventional styles, this tuxedo also offers a modern edge with its single-breasted, unbuttoned jacket and spread collar shirt. To complete your attire, be neutral with a gray vest and necktie all while showing your style through the fit and texture of the fabric.
Choose the Right Shoes:
To complete your look, consider what color shoes you’ll wear with a gray tuxedo. Well-shined black shoes give a timeless level of formality and a sharp sleekness. They also tell your guests that while you’re wearing a gray suit, you understand the importance of this day and the solemnity of your vows.

But black shoes aren’t your only option. For a contemporary approach, consider brown dress shoes. Dark brown shoes provide a polished look, but still deliver a strong sense of character. Or if you prefer a more casual, indie look that brushes the balance between “too much” and “just enough,” then select a medium shade of brown or even play with textures, like suede or croc. Just don’t go too light with the brown tone. It’ll clash with your tux.
Show your Style:

Due to the gray tuxedo’s flexibility, you can customize your wedding attire to fit your personality. Customize your tuxedo’s cufflinks and choose a suitable watch. For a suit, ditch the vest, and opt for an eye-catching necktie and a bright boutonniere. Try a dark shade for your formal shirt, or wear a fanciful gingham print button-down with a straight tie. However you accessorize your tuxedo, be sure it suits the occasion and fits the formality of your bride’s and your wedding.
