Could Tuxedos Make a Come-back?

So a funny coincidence happen in that my husband and I have been hitting up vintage shops the last couple evenings for an awesome tuxedo for him to wear to a fancy schmancy event we're going to next week at the Guthrey.  Two days ago, 100 Layer Cake posted an article about a bride-to-be who was upset that here fiancée wanted to wear a tux to their wedding and wanted advice on how to convince him to wear a suit.  Admittedly, tux's have been dragged thru the mud since the 1970's and most of us just think of the hideous prom tuxedos we're used to. The advice she got was, if he wants a tux then let him wear a tux!  And then there was additional discussion on finding fantastic vintage tuxedos. 

We are excited to have found a fantastic 1960's era tuxedo jacket from Blacklist Vintage last night!  Just need to find some pants for it now.  I really think that going vintage, or at least buying a well tailored tux from somewhere other than Men's Warehouse (gag!) is a good way to go.  And if you're still not convinced here are some images of super sexy tuxedo-ed gents! 

Dylan's new tux jacket looks a lot like this!

Slim fitting midnight blue tuxedo is very stylish!

Man Jewelry

Regardless of personal style most women have something in mind when they think of their engagement & wedding ring.  The same cannot be said for men.  Most men that I've talked to don't really have an opinion when it comes to choosing their wedding band.  Probably because, lets face it, the poor guys just don't have that many options.  Men grow up viewing jewelry as a chick thing so anything other a plain band can seem way to feminine for them.  My husband chose to go with a titanium band.  It made sense to him.  It was indestructible & inexpensive (which is good because he lost his first band in the lake and we're on #2 now).   I recently stumbled upon an etsy seller who makes wedding bands that are both beautiful & masculine.  Minter & Richter Designs makes stunning titanium rings, many featuring wood inlays, all made to order and fully customizable. You can even get a matching set for the two of you.
