Short, Slender Grooms:

Take a look at single-breasted jackets with long lines, a low button stance (to elongate your body), with wide peak lapels. Other stylish options include wearing a double-breasted tuxedo jacket or subtly patterned vest and tie. Selecting the right pant style is key, too. Reverse double-pleated pant leg should always break slightly on top of the shoe and angle a bit downward in the back.

Short, Stocky Grooms:

Are you athletic with a muscular body type? Then you will look best in tuxedo jackets with slim shawl collars. The top button should fall at the small of the waist to give your torso a leaner look. Also, choose a jacket with a natural shoulder line and try to avoid the more broad European styles. When it comes to pants, reverse double-pleated trousers with pleats extending toward the pockets tend to offer the best comfort and style. Pants should extend as low as possible on the foot, angled slightly in the back to elongate the leg. Be sure to avoid too much of a break on the foot, otherwise the pant leg will look sloppy.

Tall, Husky Grooms:

If you have broad shoulders with a muscular frame, you will look best in shawl collar tuxedos. The jacket length is especially important too. To determine a good fit, place your arms at your sides and relax your hands and fingers. Your fingertips should touch the bottom of the jacket and the shirt cuffs should extend at least half an inch beyond the jacket sleeve. The construction of the jacket may need to be a bit loose to provide ease of movement. Also, the thicker your neck and wider your face, you should try to avoid ties that are too narrow and wing tip collars that look constrictive. Instead, opt for lay-down collars and fuller bow ties. And the pant leg should have a slightly wider silhouette to accommodate muscular thighs.

Tall, Slim Grooms:

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