The perfect groom’s outfit

The wedding date is finally set. Now everything revolves around the bride’s wedding dress and the planned celebration. It is easy to overlook the fact that there are always two people involved in a wedding. The groom also wants to shine on this day. The fairytale bride and the cowboy in jeans and a checked shirt does have a certain charm, but it’s definitely not for everyone.

A wedding suit is needed

There is more choice here than you might think. Even the choice of color raises the first questions. Should the suit be conventionally black or rather blue. A white suit can also be an absolute eye-catcher. Again, the style of the couple plays a role here. If the spouses agree that it will be a Cinderella wedding, even a tuxedo is an option. Even if the groom should not see the dress of his future wife before the wedding, she should give him the direction in a discreet way. After all, you also want to fit together well on the outside.

The classic wedding suit consists of three parts. Trousers, jacket and waistcoat. A matching shirt is then worn underneath. With a classic black suit, the shirt should be white and the tie or bow tie should match the color of the bridal bouquet. If possible, no black tie – it then becomes too easy to wear a funeral outfit. But a suit in grey, brown or blue can also look great. If you want to stay in trend and can afford it in terms of body shape, choose a tailored cut. Tighter trousers and shorter jackets are also trendy. However, the jacket should not be too short. Creases easily appear in the pants, which a jacket that is too short can no longer cover up in photos. Good advice can be found at the men’s outfitter. Whether it’s a classic suit, a cut, tuxedo or even a tailcoat depends on the style of the wedding. The classic suit has the advantage that you can wear it again and again in everyday life. These opportunities will not come as often for the other types of wedding suits.

The accessories

They are also important for a wedding suit. The most important thing is probably the bow tie or tie, whether plain or colorful is a matter of taste. It is always nice to coordinate these with the colors of the bridal bouquet. As a couple, you then form a color line. But there are more little things that complement the outfit. This can be a handkerchief or a flower for the front jacket pocket or the cufflinks on the shirt. If you wear a cut or tailcoat, you can complement your outfit with a matching hat.

The shoes

These are certainly dependent on the style of the suit. With a classic Oxford shoe in the color of the suit, you definitely don’t go wrong. But if you wear a tuxedo or tailcoat, you can also wear shiny patent leather shoes. The young, unconventional groom may feel most comfortable in sneakers and wear them with a white or gray wedding outfit. But then the dress of his future wife should not be the classic princess dress. The outfit of the groom is always about a logical complement to the wedding dress.

What fits together now?

The bride dreams of a fairytale wedding. The dress should be white, long, puffy and have a long veil. So a very romantic style. The groom would do well to dress accordingly. A tailcoat or tuxedo is the ideal accompaniment.

On the other hand, the wedding dress is modern, short and maybe in a cheeky color. Then that should also be taken into account. A white suit with sneakers fits perfectly here to complement the bridal outfit.

The wedding dress is rather classic, not too much and not too little. Then the suit fits in black, gray or blue. Matching shoes and the groom is the ideal complement to his future wife.

Where is the outfit bought?

The groom can (similar to the bride) visit the nearest men’s outfitter with his best friend. Then try on one or the other suit, get a little advice, listen to your friend’s opinion and finally make the purchase. This approach is especially helpful if you can’t really make a decision yet. You are unsure about the cut, the color too and usually nothing else fits you right away.

But there is also the possibility to order a wedding suit and the matching accessories online. Most of the men’s outfitters also have an online presence to offer. There you can see the wedding suit how it looks next to a wedding dress, this can be a big help. The online portal is really recommended for pre-selection. Ordering via an online shop, on the other hand, is only recommended to a limited extent. It is better to try on the suit that you have selected online at the men’s outfitter. Especially when it comes to the cuts of the suit, you can be very wrong. And an ill-fitting wedding suit is really no eye candy.

Conclusion

The groom’s outfit is just as important as the bride’s dress. Both outfits should complement each other. However, the main thing is still: the wearer of the outfit must feel comfortable with it. If you never wear a suit in everyday life, you might feel completely disguised in a tuxedo. And that’s definitely not the point. Always remember: The main thing is: The groom must please the bride.
