Quinceanera Style Trends To Expect in 2023

Quinceanera Style Trends To Expect in 2023

Every year we see new trends and styles in the world of fashion. Something older may come back in style, or we may see a new twist on a classic design. Understanding fashion trends allows you to plan for big events, so here are a few quinceañera style trends to expect in 2023 to help you prepare for the big day.

Blowout Curls

While your quinceañera’s theme is often a large part of your look, it’s a good idea not to underestimate your hair. In 2023, people are going big rather than going home with luxurious blowout curls. Noticeably bouncy curls help your hairstyle pop and create a great look that goes with any dress.

Pearl Details

One quinceañera style trend to expect in 2023 is the return of pearls and rhinestones throughout the detailing of the dress. These fixtures allow you to create enticing and eye-catching patterns that will enchant your guests and they match accessories such as jewelry, shoes, and makeup. Pearls offer a nice neutral color that works with nearly any style or shade of attention-grabbing dress without being distracting.

Asymmetric Cuts

In many cases, symmetry is akin to beauty and pose. However, asymmetrical cuts on dresses are offering fantastic new creative styles that still keep your quinceañera a classic event. Different-length sleeves or slopes that start from a single shoulder provide a different perspective that’s sure to keep the focus and attention on the star of the show.

For more information on dresses, suits, and tailoring for the upcoming quinceañera, Emanuele Tuxedo has been serving guests since 1975. Aside from dresses, we have a wide selection of quinceanera tuxedos for chambelanes and rental suits for any formal occasion. Stop by our Morton Grove or Elmhurst locations or submit your measurements online.

3 Things To Ask Your Tailor When Getting Fitted for a Tux

3 Things To Ask Your Tailor When Getting Fitted for a Tux

When preparing for a wedding or other significant event, you may need to visit a specialty shop and get fitted for your rental tuxedo. It may seem straightforward, but it’s a good idea to go into the experience with a few questions, just in case. Here are three things you may want to ask your tailor when getting fitted for a tux.

1. How Far in Advance Do I Need To Make My Rental?

Typically, if you’re getting measurements taken to rent a tuxedo, you may already have a date for when you need it. However, it never hurts to know what type of wait time you might be in for. Tuxedos typically don’t have as much of a queue as dresses, but if you’re getting fitted two weeks before the wedding and there’s a one-month waiting period, things can quickly become tricky.

2. Do You Offer Alterations On-Site?

Even though you’re there to get your measurements, things may change between your fitting and the day you pick up the suit. One thing to ask your tailor when getting fitted for a tux is whether they offer on-site alterations. When you get your tuxedo, we recommend trying it on to see if it’s suitable for your dimensions. By knowing ahead of time if they provide alterations in-store, you may be able to make some quick adjustments if something doesn’t fit right.

3. What Measurements Do You Need?

Having a detailed knowledge of the exact measurements the tailor will be using is beneficial for several reasons. When you understand what the tailor is measuring, it’s easy to ask for personal adjustments, such as asking for the tuxedo to be a little wider in the waist or not as tight in the chest.

Another advantage of knowing what measurements the tailor needs for fitting the suit is relevant if you have wedding guests who are out of town or can’t come into the shop for their own fitting. Out-of-town guests can get their measurements from a shop closer to them and send any necessary information to you to pass on to the shop, where people will pick up their tuxes.

If you’re in the Chicago area and want high-end bridal tuxedo rentals, Emanuele Tuxedo has been providing people with ideal fits and quality suits since 1975. Come visit any of our two locations or submit your measurements through our website to get things started.

4 Benefits of Choosing a Local Tuxedo Business

4 Benefits of Choosing a Local Tuxedo Business

There’s usually a degree of annoyance when it comes time to finding a suit. Whether you’re buying or renting, many options make things harder than they need to be. Instead of trying to find a suit online or going to a major retail outlet, you may want to consider these four benefits of choosing a local tuxedo business for your wedding attire needs.

A Personal Touch

No matter what formal event you need a suit for, buying or renting a tuxedo should feel like a personal experience. You’re not going to find that with online shopping or in a giant chain store. When you shop local, you know who you’re working with, and they’re usually excited to work with you to get you what you need.

Convenience

Many people choose online shopping because it’s convenient to stay at home, but that comes with disadvantages. You don’t get to try on the suit. And if it’s different from what you need, you don’t always know who to contact. Many local tuxedo places offer the convenience of coming to you to perform custom measurements or fittings. You can have all the convenience of online shopping with a friendly face to match it.

Building Rapport

One of the benefits of choosing a local tuxedo business is that you can build a connection with the staff. Whether you rent a tuxedo for your formal occasions or buy a suit and bring it back to them for tailoring, you can talk with them. It feels good to know who you’re doing business with, and it’s easier to make that connection with a local business.

Supporting the Community

When you choose a local tuxedo business, you’re not just getting convenience and a personalized experience out of it. You’re doing your part to support and bolster a local business, which strengthens the overall community. It’s not easy running a local business, but when you’re a valued customer who shows your support, those storeowners are eternally grateful that you choose to help their business.

If you’re looking for a men’s rental suit in Chicago, head to Emanuele Tuxedo. We’ve been helping the fine folks of the Chicago area find their perfect suits for years. Contact us today for more information or to schedule an appointment for a custom fitting.

What To Wear to a Quinceañera

What To Wear to a Quinceañera

A quinceañera is an important event in a young woman’s life. As an essential part of cultural heritage, these formal parties occur when a young woman turns fifteen. You can treat this event similar to a wedding with formal attire, dancing, food, and music. And much like a wedding, you may wonder what to wear to a quinceañera.

General Rules for Attire

Before attending a quinceañera, it’s a good idea to put yourself into the right mindset. These are formal events, so there are certain items of clothing you can cross off your list from the very start. You can leave the jeans, shorts, T-shirts, and open-toed shoes at home, though there may be some exceptions if it’s an outdoor event.

Suggestions for What Women Should Wear

When you’re wondering what to wear to a quinceañera, women have a few more options than men. This is a formal event, so you can wear everything from a cocktail dress to a more formal gown. If dresses and skirts aren’t your style, a classy and elegant pantsuit is ideal for the occasion.

A good rule to remember is to try and avoid wearing the same color as the guest of honor. Remember, this is her special day, and you don’t want to cause unnecessary issues or draw extra attention to yourself.

Suggestions for What Men Should Wear

Typically, at a quinceañera, men wear suits and ties. Your options may range from a semi-formal blazer to a full tuxedo, depending on the nature of the event. Depending on the season, you can opt for a darker or lighter suit, and a bowtie always fits the occasion. Men should also avoid wearing the same color as the guest of honor or anybody on the court, such as the chambelan, who presents the birthday girl.

If you’re preparing for the big day and need to find a place that offers quinceañera tuxedo rentals, Emanuele Tuxedo has been supplying Chicago with formal suits since 1975. Reach out to us today, and we’ll work to find your ideal suit for any occasion.

The Best Fall Wedding Suits and Tuxedos of 2022

The Best Fall Wedding Suits and Tuxedos of 2022

Autumn is one of the best times of the year when it comes to exploring different colors and patterns with your suits. The fall is an excellent time for warmer colors, subtle patterns, and cozier materials. If you’re attending any formal events this autumn, consider some of the best fall wedding suit and tuxedo trends of 2022.

Consider the Colors

Autumn is when the days start getting shorter and colder, and the colors of nature change. This time of year is also when it’s best to consider different colors for your suit. Instead of the bright pastels or warm shades of spring and summer, autumn is when you may want to consider burgundy, dark green, and brown. These colors work well with nearly any fall wedding color scheme and offer a natural, comfortable palette that you can’t often capitalize on during the other times of the year.

Mull Over Materials

Some of the best fall wedding suits and tuxedos break away from the more common and traditional materials. Many suits contain lighter fabrics in the middle of the year to avoid being too hot outdoors. Still, autumn is the perfect opportunity to break out heavier materials like wool, velvet, and corduroy. These materials are fashionable, go well with fall colors, and will help keep you warm during those chillier autumn evenings.

Ponder Patterns

Don’t sleep on different patterns, especially when they go so well with suits and tuxedos sporting fall colors. Vertical stripes are always a good choice but checked or plaid suits make a memorable impression and capture the season’s atmosphere without drawing too much attention.

If you’re looking for a suit for autumn or any occasion, Emanuele Tuxedo has what you need for wedding tuxedo rentals in Chicago. Get in touch with us anytime in Elmhurst or Morton Grove, and we’ll find a suit that fits you for any formal occasion.
