What Should a Fashionable Groom Wear?

Even though traditionally the focus tends to be on a bride’s wedding dress during the ceremony, that doesn’t mean that the groom’s attire should be neglected or considered less important. Looking stylish on your wedding day doesn’t have to be about the latest trends or a specific dress code – it should be the perfect time to get creative with your personal style and take groom suiting to the next level. 

So, here are some things any modern groom can consider to look fashionable, sleek and polished on his big day:

Investing in a bespoke suit

No matter what you decide to wear or how many components of your outfit you choose to change, fit is always the most important thing. That is why you should treat yourself for your wedding and visit a great tailor, who will sew the best possible suit for your build and your personal taste. If you opt for a bespoke suit, it would be a good idea to choose the 3-piece. That way, you can have a suit jacket when you walk down the aisle, but at the reception when you want to take your jacket off and dance, you will still look elegant and put-together in a vest.

Standing out from the crowd

While your outfits should be complementary, they shouldn’t look like exact copies of each other, so don’t worry too much about matching with your groomsmen. When it comes to you and your entourage, your look should be easily and unmistakably distinguishable from the rest. You can easily achieve this by choosing different accessories, a bold suit color, or even by subtly varying the outfit. For example, you can opt for a suit jacket, while your best men can rock a bow tie and suspenders instead.

Opting for personalized accessories

An easy way to inject some personal style into a wedding ensemble is to choose an interesting and unique accessories to spruce up your overall look. For example, if you opt for a pocket square, make sure it contrasts, instead of matching your neckwear, or if you prefer eye-catching footwear, choose a pair of socks or shoelaces that highlight your personal style best. If you want something less prominent that still reflects your personal style, you can also choose fun cuff links or dainty jewelry pieces. It would be a great idea to consider elegant Japanese watches, as not only are they the ideal accessory to complete any stylish outfit, but they’re also synonymous with high quality, and will last a lifetime.

Experimenting with patterns

Prints and patternsdon’t have to be off-limits, as long as you choose them carefully and tastefully. If you opt for a solid-colored suit, consider adding some personality to your look with a patterned shirt or a printed tie or bow tie. If you decide to be bolder and choose a patterned suit, try pairing it with something classic, such as chalk stripes, or even subtle pastel shades. Regardless of where you incorporate a pattern, offset your look from the rest of the groomsmen by having them wear solid variations.

Elevating your neckwear

As already mentioned, there’s no reason you should confine yourself to solid, one-shade neckwear; you can just as easily opt for textured or patterned pieces that match the color schemes of your wedding. As you consider alternatives to traditional colors, you can also think about different necktie shapes. Even though a classic tie might be the preference for many men, a lot of modern grooms will find that a skinny tie, bow tie, ascot or even a tie-free ensemble suits them better. It truly all comes down to your personal taste and style.

Considering a boutonniere

An accessory you quite probably haven’t seen since your senior prom, boutonnieres are truly classy, elegant and timeless. If you want to add an interesting touch to your outfit with a boutonniere, but you don’t want to look outdated, keep your other accessories minimal and skip the pocket square. Opt for small, dainty flowers, leaves or vines, or even an option that isn’t based on flora, to make it more modern and sleek, while opening up a whole world of opportunity to get creative and express your personal taste.

Instead of sticking to traditional options and what is usually considered the norm, focusing on putting some thought into your wedding day attireand choose an outfit that makes you feel comfortable, confident and like the best version of yourself, because that is truly what you deserve on this very special day.
