RELAXED-You don’t have to deviate much from the classic tuxedo to get a look that skews less formal. Aim for easy elegance—easy being the operative word. Skip the tie, unbutton your collar, and add a simple white pocket square.
ICONIC-A pale-pink tuxedo jacket with black lapels echoes the glamour of forties Hollywood (picture Cary Grant in a white one). Modernize the relaxed-formal look with an icy-blue pleated shirt—hold the tie—and slim-cut black pants.
KHAKI-If your tan suit is in heavy rotation after Memorial Day, its dressier counterpart will be similarly indispensable. Have on hand a tan polished-cotton tuxedo with peak lapels, tab-front trousers, and a crisp white shirt, and no summer event will ever present a wardrobe conundrum.
DENIM-You can still make use of the traditional tuxedo during flip-flop season—just mix it with your favorite pair of broken-in jeans. Keep the top classic—one-button jacket, bow tie—and stick with elegant patent-leather lace-ups.
COLOR-A powder-blue shirt with fine pleats gives a sober black tuxedo an irreverent, appropriately summery edge. For an evening wedding, add a slim silk bow tie—but skip the cummerbund.
