Let's Hear It for the Boys: Black by Vera Wang

As many of you know, a few months ago, I talked about the 2012 White by Vera Wang collection available at David's Bridal.  It was pretty great, right?  But, under all the happiness, there was totally a current of "Hey, what about us dudes?".  And, as if on cue, Miss Vera Wang announced her partnership with Men's Warehouse and launched her Black by Vera Wang collection.  I love it. 

From the XO, Vera Newsletter:

         The BLACK by Vera Wang collection offers the highest quality available in rental tuxedos, at an accessible price point. The collection features two modern tuxedo styles, in classic black and a fresh gray. Designed with contemporary style elements such as a narrower lapel, and ultra-lightweight, high quality fabric, ensures a sophisticated look with superior drape and a luxe feel. Both styles are offered in standard and modern fit, accommodating everyone in the wedding party from a small ring bearer to groomsmen in big & tall sizes.

Enough chatter!  Delicious tuxes below:

I'm living for that sharp, shadow lapel.  A big, high five for slim cut tuxes!!

James Bond, anyone?  Le sigh.

 I really love seeing so many options for men creeping up these days.  It's not just about the boxy, black tux anymore.  With the rising interest in sport coats, dress clothes and casual alternatives, there's no reason a fashionable, savvy man can't find something amazing to wear for any upcoming nuptial celebration.  But, you might want to give this collection a try.
