The young gentleman...


Dressing like a gentleman works for any man...including a young man!  You can't overlook the ringbearer on your special day..

Here are some of our favorite looks and ideas for the ring bearer!

Being a well-dressed gentleman starts young.

Cut out in book to hold the ring!

Adorable outfits...the suspenders remind me of the Little Rascals

Our Most Popular Suit...

Believe it or not, our most popular tux is NOT the traditional black tuxedo! 
Most of our grooms are opting for our Alfresco suit . Here are reasons we love the tan suit for weddings!

1. It's not as formal.
With the rise of Pinterest and DIY crafts, weddings are becoming more laid back.  The traditional black tux weddings just wouldn't go with this carefree feel.  The tan suit gives an air of casual while still having groomsmen dressed to impress!

2. It's great for destination weddings, outdoor weddings, or well, any kind of wedding. 
They look great when on the beach, or in a garden, or in a reception hall.  They match most themed weddings. 

3. It can be styled in many versatile ways.
Tie or bowtie or nothing at all! It looks great with all different colors and prints. The styling is all up to the bride and groom...there are no rules when it comes to the Alfresco!

4. It's lightweight for the scorching temperatures.
Weddings in the South during Summer are HOT, HOT, HOT. Beat the heat with the lightweight material of the Alfresco! 

5. It reflects the Charleston look.
We just love the traditional "Charleston" look for men. Our name is "Charleston Tuxedo" after all!  The tan suit just represents all things we love about our well-dressed men from Charleston.

All About Barry Beaux!

We love our in-house custom bowtie and tie designer Barry Beaux! Here we will go into the designer and some of our favorite designs!



Barry Beaux was started in 2009 by local designer Frances Barry. Frances Barry who was born and raised in Mt. Pleasant, SC and has always loved the Low country look and has always had an interest in Fashion. Frances started Barry Beaux while studying Fashion Merchandising at Georgia Southern University. Barry Beaux features all handmade bow ties, neckties, pocket squares, cummerbund sets, and even bow ties for the little ones, as well as a line of skirts for the ladies. Barry Beaux represents the Low country boy as well as the southern gentleman with its preppy cotton fabrics. The name comes from Barry her last name and Beaux meaning handsome in French as well as a play on words for bow. The shrimp logo comes from the shrimp boat fleet in Shem Creek, a local creek in Mt. Pleasant.


We are completely obsessed with her line.  Her fabric choices reflect Charleston living and the colors are so fresh and vibrant.
