Choosing the Perfect Wedding Attire For The Groom
1. A Well-Fitted Suit
Brides always get their wedding dress altered so it fits perfectly. Well, your wedding suit should also be well-fitted. This is probably the most important tip when choosing your wedding look as a groom. That way, not only will you look fantastic, but so you’ll feel fantastic too.
We’ve all heard the saying “The clothes make the man.” Well, poorly fitting clothes can break him. And you certainly don’t want that on your wedding day.
You want to make sure your suit fits you perfectly – not too loose and not too tight. The last thing you want on your wedding day is to be tugging at your clothes all night long!
2. Classic Never Goes Out Of Style
When choosing your wedding attire, you’ll want to make sure the style of suit fits the formality of your wedding. For a black-tie affair, a tuxedo is the way to go. You can go with traditional black, but you can also opt for a different color, such as navy blue or golden tan.
Do you prefer a suit over a tux, but aren’t sure what style to pick? Then go with a classic style such as a three-piece suit with vest, notched or peaked lapels, and tie or bowtie. To bring the formality down a bit, but still be elegant and classy, skip the vest.
And as for the color, you can’t go wrong with a simple black or navy suit. It’s timeless and will never go out of style. If you prefer something with more color, go for it. Dark green, sage, rust, and deep red are just a few options.
3. Add Some Personal Touches
Guys, don’t forget to add your personal touch. Sticking to a classic style doesn’t mean you can’t add your unique spin. A great way to do this is with your accessories. Choose a tie or pocket square with personal meaning, like a family heirloom or something that matches your bride’s dress. You can also add a boutonniere that reflects your personality or hobbies.
If you want to stand out, go for a colored suit or tuxedo, or maybe a suit with pattern like plaid or houndstooth. Make sure it’s still in formalwear, so you don’t look like you’re just going out to a club.
4.Your Shoes
One of the most critical aspects of any wedding look is your shoes. Not only do they need to be comfortable enough to last you through an entire day of celebrations, but they should also complement your suit and overall aesthetic.
When choosing your groom’s wedding attire, picking the perfect pair of wedding shoes is an absolute must, and here are a few things to keep in mind. First, think about the formality of your wedding. You’ll want to stick with classic dress shoes if it’s a black tie affair. Have a look at amberjack shoes for some excellent options.
Next, consider the color of your shoes. Black dress shoes are always a safe bet if you’re wearing a traditional black tuxedo. If you want to add a little bit of personality to your look, opt for shoes in a rich brown or deep burgundy.
Finally, make sure your shoes are comfortable! You’ll be on your feet all day, so choosing a pair that won’t leave you with blisters is essential. If you’re not used to wearing dress shoes, consider breaking them in ahead of time or bringing a spare pair of comfortable shoes to change into for the reception.
Choosing the right groom’s wedding attire is about finding the perfect balance between classic and personal. By following these tips, you’ll be sure to find an outfit you’re comfortable in that makes you look like the best version of yourself on your big day. Best of luck!
