Plus Size Tuxedo and Suit Rentals

On average, a wedding party has 7 groomsmen standing with the groom. Many have more groomsmen. With a party that large, you are bound to come across groomsmen and grooms who require larger tuxedo and suit rentals and even a wide range of sizes.

Some, but not all bridal and tuxedo shops carry larger sizes for you to try on and rent for your wedding. Navigating the plus size men's formal wear world can get tricky.

Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo recently wrote a blog covering this topic: Men’s Guide to Plus-Size Tuxedo and Suit Rentals. This is a comprehensive, deep dive into things to consider when dressing plus size men and wedding suit and tuxedo rentals.
