WEDDING SUIT GUIDE
The flowers are in full bloom and so is wedding season. So what, might you ask, are the style rules for the groom? There are several key elements that factor in to this hot topic. Firstly, it totally depends on the wedding style. Is it a fancy and glamorous party of the century in a castle or is it a simple and down to earth bare-foot wedding on the beach? Naturally, there aren’t the same rules for both of these occasions. So we’ll give you a few different ideas of which suit fits best with different wedding environments, since a fancy tuxedo at a chill beach wedding could look ridiculous. Selecting that appropriate wedding suit style can be tricky, but the last thing a man wants is to look sloppy beside his stunning bride on their big day. A grooms wedding suit should always flow with the theme of the wedding.
Let’s start with the black tie dress code since it’s the most popular choice for weddings. There are three options for grooms whose wedding is a glamorous formal black tie party.
* Tail suit
This is the most formal option for men. Tailcoat needs to fit perfectly – it’s very slim around the body so be sure to hit the gym if you decide to wear a tail suit in your wedding! The black tailcoat is worn open, white shirt with detachable collar underneath, black trousers to match, and it’s always worn with a bowtie and patent leather shoes.
* Tuxedo
A classy tuxedo is always in style! A tuxedo should be worn with a bow tie to keep the look formal. The difference between a tuxedo and formal suit is that the tuxedo always has a satin trim. Most men prefer to keep their tuxedo black but some prefer their wedding tuxedo to be light blue or white. The tuxedo is also worn with patent leather shoes.
* Dinner suit
There are a few options under this category. Whether you prefer your suit single breasted or double-breasted is up to you. A traditional option is a black and white combination. Your suit option should coordinate with your bride’s dress selection. If she has a more simple dress, then choose a dinner suit rather than a long tail or a tuxedo so you don’t steal show. For a more formal look you can add a bow tie to a dinner suit as well.
In a semi-formal wedding atmosphere, you can opt for a business suit also. You have room to play around here: choose single or double breasted, a two or three buttoned suit, and you can opt for a waist coat. Just be sure that the suit style you choose fits your figure. A professional tailor can always help you out with their advice.
As for casual weddings, the best option is a laid-back two-piece suit. You can always take off the jacket after the ceremony. We also love a waistcoat under the jacket, so you get that elegant look, even once you’ve taken your jacket off. You also have more room to play with colours. Forget the usual black and white and go with the lighter tones – opt for pastels or light blue or even off-white.
For a beach wedding opt for a lounge suit. It is more comfortable, has suitable colour scheme and can be worn without a tie.
Final tip is that whichever suit style you choose, the most important component is the fit. It has to fit you perfectly on the most important day of your life.
