I'm looking for some slim fitting tuxedo trousers.

I'm trying to decide between single pleat and plain front, grosgrain, etc.

Any thoughts? Any thoughts on specific ones I can look at?

I always thought that slim trousers look better with flat fronts, however some people would say that pleats are more formal. Regarding the silk stripe: since you are looking for trousers, I guess you already have a jacket. If so, match the stripe to the lapels of the jacket(and to the bow tie). I could recommend some separate trousers, but I would need a budget. Meanwhile, two good place for tuxedo separates: http://www.josbank.com/menswear/shop...01_10050_11510 http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatS...Section_Id=235
