Cummerbund or vest?

Definitely no cummerbund. (Had no idea that's what those were called.) Unless you want to look like an uncle at a wedding.

I actually prefer neither, just suspenders. Looks cleaner.

I have both.

I wear the vest if wanting to be more formal.

I save the cummerbund for a shawl lapel jacket or plainer front shirt.

Both. You can't be too careful.

Only if you have the right belt to match your suspenders though.

I'm in the vest camp, though I could see doing neither.

For occasions appropriate for a suit I guess. But formal is formal and that means a tux.

with your physical shape, you can sport either...most men can't do cummerbunds because they have too much belly for it to stay in place COVERING THE WAISTBAND!

Follow up question: shawl collar, peaked lapel, or notched lapel?

Just make sure it is a real fuming vest and not on of those rental dickie/over the shoulder cummerbund things.

You know my fashion sense or complete and total lack thereof, but a vest. Always a vest. I was on the verge of murder at DW's wedding when we had to wear cummerbunds.....

Cummerbund with a bow tie. Vest with a long tie.

WRONG

for one thing, a long tie does not belong with a tuxedo

What about with a bolo tie?

I like cummerbund with shawl collar dinner jackets but prefer vests, true complete coverage vests with black, peaked collar tux. The big deal about me is I like wing collars and bow tie(tied bows) with tux...if you are going to wear a long tie you might as well wear a suit! That's just my preference but then I also like cut away jackets, striped slacks and ascots so there ya go!

I will also add I don't care for the off white dinner jacket and white/white shirts but it is a perfectly acceptable combo.

Black Tie event? Go with a cummerbund with pleats up, so to catch your crumbs. Because you are a messy eater.

Yep shawl on the dinner jacket, but notched on the black coat.

Evening or morning....it's still a tuxedo.

The cummerbund is vital in appearance when those rented stretch pants start creeping down. But if I were skinny I'd go with suspenders.

the suspenders keep the Sansabelt pants from creeping....very few men can wear Sansabelts.
