Celebrating Family Milestones

Cultivating Responsible Leaders Through Time-Honored Family Traditions

In the hustle of modern life, the celebration of family milestones is often overlooked or taken for granted.  However, these occasions carry the power to be transformative experiences.

Celebrating events like the Quinceañera, the Bar/Bat Mitzvah and Confirmation play a major role in cultivating the fundamental values essential for the development of today’s youth.

These types of family milestones, not only become memorable family events, they cast a guiding influence on the trajectory of these young individuals in the years to come.

By continuing to embrace these family and cultural rituals, we not only honor the past but actively shape a future generation grounded in a strong sense of identity, community, and family responsibility.

May our families continue to thrive, grounded in love, strengthened by unity, and inspired by the enduring spirit of celebration.

A Guide To Utilizing Your Black Tuxedo Jacket

First of all, explore various accessories to transform the appearance of your tuxedo jacket. Try out colorful pocket squares, eye-catching cufflinks, or distinctive tie pins to add a creative touch to your ensemble. Embrace creative accessorizing for a unique and personalized look.

Here are a few more creative tuxedo jacket ideas from our Belmeade Men’s Stylist…

1. Formal Events

Classic Black-Tie Events:  Wear the black tuxedo jacket with matching trousers, a crisp white dress shirt, black bow tie, and black dress

2. Business Formal Attire

Business Meetings or Presentations: Pair the black tuxedo jacket with dress trousers in a contrasting color, a white dress shirt, and a silk tie for a polished and sophisticated business formal look.

3. Smart Casual Look

Dress It Down with Jeans: Combine the black tuxedo jacket with dark jeans for a smart casual appearance. Add a casual shirt or a turtleneck, and complete the look with stylish loafers or dress boots.

4. Cocktail Parties

Stylish Cocktail Attire: Wear the black tuxedo jacket with tailored dress trousers or chinos, a patterned dress shirt, and a slim tie for a modern and stylish look at cocktail parties or upscale social events.

5. Wedding Guest Attire

Wedding Receptions or Parties: Pair the black tuxedo jacket with light-colored dress trousers, a patterned dress shirt, and a stylish pocket square for a refined wedding guest ensemble.

6. Casual Chic

Layer with Sweaters: Combine the black tuxedo jacket with a lightweight sweater, dark trousers or chinos, and dress shoes for a casual yet polished look during cooler seasons.

7. Date Night Outfits

Dinner or Theater Date: Wear the black tuxedo jacket with well-fitted dress trousers, a dress shirt, and a slim tie for a sophisticated and romantic date night ensemble.

8. Holiday Celebrations

Year’s Eve or Holiday Parties: Style the black tuxedo jacket with festive accessories, such as a velvet bow tie or a satin pocket square, for a celebratory and stylish appearance.

9. Layered Look

Versatile Layering: Use the black tuxedo jacket as a layering piece over turtlenecks, sweaters, or casual shirts. Experiment with different textures and colors to create interesting combinations.

10. Destination Weddings

Beach or Destination Weddings: Pair the black tuxedo jacket with lightweight and breathable dress trousers for a more relaxed and destination-appropriate wedding attire.

To maximize the versatility of a black tuxedo jacket, consider blending it with various items in your wardrobe. Adjust its formality to suit the occasion and infuse your unique style into the overall ensemble. This approach allows you to create diverse and stylish looks for various events.

      Belmeade Men's Formal Wear is the place to go if you need a nice suit or Tux for any occasion. Very professional owner who knows the formal wear business inside and out. I returned my Suit from a wedding I attended in Middle Tn and had left $10 in my pocket I had forgotten about and the owner called and mailed me the money I had left in my pocket! Talk about someone with Honesty and Integrity!

      I was told of Belmeade's by a coworker who has rented there before and I couldn't have been more satisfied with my experience. The owner is super helpful and probably the nicest guy you could meet. Super Super reasonable (more like awesome) prices for suit/tux rentals with so many options. Don't even think about going anywhere else until you check out Belmeade!!

      10 out of 10 would recommend! I changed my mind at least four or five times when trying to decide what suits to rent for my wedding but the gentleman that owns it was always extremely nice and super helpful. He never became impatient with me with my incessant calls and fickleness. Prices are amazing and service is barred none the BEST I have ever experienced

      I have rented 2 different tuxes from here and both times i have never had a problem with the suit at all. The gentleman who owns the place is a extremely nice older man. 10/10 would recommend getting your tux rental from him.

            This is a great time to get a new suit at Belmeade Mens Wear

            A classic great looking suit is essential if you are graduating high school or college.

            Don’t fool yourself, life will become very exciting once you graduate.  But you must prepare.  Ready yourself for any type of career networking or special event.

            The suits below are “Nested Suits”

            But, what does “nested” in the product description mean?  This suit comes with a pre-selected size for the pant waist.  The pant waist is the coat size minus 6 inches.  For example, if the coat is size 40 the standard nested difference is minus 6 to get the pant waist size of 34 inches.

            The pants can be let out or taken up 1.5 inches with a needle and thread. So, if you can’t get to your pant waist size based on your coat size, you probably want to look at suits that are available as “separates”.

            Yes, Belmeade has both “nested”and “separates” available! Need additional help selecting the right look for your body shape? Come by the shop for a free fitting!

            We are located behind Target in Johnson City, Tennessee, 149 East Mountcastle Drive.

            What size am I, anyway?

            Click to view Proper Measuring Techniques

            Click to view Proper Measuring TechniquesThe easiest and best way to find your sizes is to look in your closet!

            Find the coat size of a jacket that feels good by looking in the inside pocket. A good fitting pair of pants will have the waist size on its label. Often, the inseam is listed too. ( inside the pant leg from the crotch to the cuff).

            If not, just lay the pants on a flat surface, and measure from the top of the waist down the pant leg to the cuff. That’s the pant outseam number. It is definitely worth the time to look for the correct sizes, because most of us tend to spread out a bit as we get older.

            As a general guideline for coat length sizing, you can look at your height. . .

            • Short lengths are usually about 5’4″ through 5’7″
            • Regular lengths are usually about 5’8″ through 5’11”
            • Long lengths are usually about 6′ through 6’3″
            • Extra Long  lengths are usually about 6’4″ through 6’6″

            Shirt sleeve length can help in finding the right coat length. Usually. . .

            • A Short has a maximum shirt sleeve length of 33″
            • A Regular has a maximum shirt sleeve length of 35″
            • A Long has a maximum shirt sleeve length of 37″
            • An Extra Long has a maximum shirt sleeve length of 39″

            Use the Sizing guides in this section to measure for the correct coat size and length, pant waist and length, and shirt neck and sleeve length. It’s a good idea to confirm your sizes by getting a courtesy measurement at a formal wear shop or department store.
