Spring weddings are upon us, and with them comes the usual tux conundrum: Is it possible to look polished in a rental? This season, the answer is yes. The Black Tux, the Santa Monica-based suit lending firm, known for prioritizing fit and construction over powder blue novelty designs and ill-fitting silhouettes, is collaborating with New York-based twin brothers Ariel and Shimon Ovadia of menswear line Ovadia & Sons. Such a fortuitous pairing ensures wearable options for those who are part of the wedding party and their guests. The joint venture includes tan notched lapel wool suits for coastal weddings and double breasted wool and mohair tuxedos for black tie nuptials. The line also includes chic shirts, knit ties, bow ties, hipster pocket squares, and modern cufflinks. Don these designs, and no one will guess the look is borrowed rather than bespoke.
