Choosing a look for the groom is no less important than choosing a dress for the bride. Often the future husband is given a secondary role at a wedding, and all attention is focused on the girl. There is some injustice in this, since marriage is holiday for two. But if we judge the image of the groom at a wedding by 2019 fashion, it can be noted that the usual suit with a white shirt is gradually becoming a thing of the past. Wedding dresses for the groom are becoming more and more stylish, original and interesting.

Wedding tuxedos for the groom

Traditional attire - a men's tuxedo for a wedding will emphasize the excellent taste and status of a man in society. In a tuxedo, the groom will no longer get lost among his friends who have come to the ordinary suits with a light shirt.

A tuxedo is usually combined with a bow tie, vest and sash tied to the belt. The entire image must be made in one color. Only the vest can be a little lighter, but of the same shade

To make your tuxedo look great, it is important to follow a few simple rules:

1. Jacket lapels should be shawl-shaped (oblique) or pointed. Rectangular lapels are suitable for everyday wear, but not for such a special occasion.
2. If you give up a regular white shirt, it will make your look too formal and boring. It's better to give preference shirt with contrasting buttons and cuffs for which cufflinks are intended.
3. In addition to cufflinks, you can wear watch and no more accessories - they will be superfluous. The watch should not be too massive and have a thin strap so that it does not cling to the sleeve.
4. Under no circumstances should you combine a tuxedo with long tie. Be sure to replace it butterfly.
5. A belt and a tuxedo are an unacceptable combination. The image will be better if the groom is wearing suspenders, but in this case it will not be possible to remove the vest. The ideal option is a sash on a belt.
6. From shoes Black patent leather shoes, slippers or oxfords are suitable. For extravagant fashionistas there is interesting option- suede shoes.

And most importantly, the tuxedo should fit perfectly. Therefore, it is recommended to sew it to order or adjust a ready-made suit to the groom’s figure.

Wedding tailcoat for the groom

The wedding tailcoat looks very chic. But it’s worth considering that if a man is not used to classic suits and has never worn tailcoats or tuxedos, then in such an outfit he may feel quite constrained.

If the groom's posture is far from ideal, then a tailcoat will highlight all the shortcomings of his bearing. In this case, it is better to abandon it in favor of a suit or tuxedo

If the groom decides to wear a tailcoat for the wedding, then a colored shirt will need to be abandoned. Only a white shirt and a bow tie will go with this wardrobe item. In addition, the shirt front should be well starched.

It is also important to pay attention to the fact that the tailcoat jacket in front should reach the bottom of the waist, and the elongated tails from the back should go down to knee level. This type of clothing matches only with black patent leather shoes and with no other shoes.

Men's wedding shirts for the groom

White wedding shirts for men have already become a classic for the groom's look. But don’t miss the opportunity to look a little brighter and, accordingly, more interesting. To choose the right color for a shirt, you need to start from bridesmaid dress colors, wedding decor or shoes.

In order not to be mistaken with the shade of the shirt, you also need to pay attention to the color of the suit - they should not merge.

What shirt to wear if a suit:

• dark grey - best color shirts will be white, mint or light peach;
• blue or dark blue - only pure white shirt is possible;
• gray - the shirt can be chosen in blue, white, peach or ivory;

• classic black color - the shirt can only be white;
• light brown - tobacco-colored shirt, white or Pink colour would be a great solution;
• rich Brown– a shirt in ivory, peach, or white;
• snow-white - the shirt should be a darker shade or any bright one.

A red shirt will become a bright accent in the image of a groom in a white suit. You can also wear a black shirt to a wedding with this look, but such a bold look is only suitable for brunettes with dark skin.

The image of a groom in a blue suit will become chic if you add a light shirt with some pattern and a bright accent in the form of a tie or scarf. This outfit will look especially beautiful and unusual on red-haired men.

Men's wedding look

If the wedding is scheduled for the warm season or will take place in a hot country, then it is quite possible to allow yourself to wear a shirt with short sleeve. Some people believe that such a shirt cannot be suitable for a celebration, but this is a mistaken opinion.

It is important that the shirt is fitted, but the sleeves remain loose enough to not tight around the arms. Also, you shouldn’t wear it untucked, it makes the look look careless.

Shirt selection rules

A wedding is a special event, so there is a certain dress code for it. There are some general recommendations, how to choose the right shirt for the groom:

• the size must fit, no more and no less;
• the groom should be comfortable in a shirt;
• the ideal size is the one that leaves 1 cm of free space between the neck and collar;

Vest for the groom

A men's suit usually consists of trousers and a jacket, but don't forget about a vest. She is able to radically change the entire image of the groom, visually making the man more slim, fit and elegant. A men's wedding vest will make the groom stand out from the crowd of men present at the event and will highlight his excellent taste.

If the groom at the wedding is wearing three-piece suit, then the vest can be made in the same color as the trousers and jacket. But to make the look more vibrant and fashionable, you should think about a vest in a contrasting shade.

The vest is a completely independent part of the suit, so it can be worn without a jacket. This is especially true in summer weather, if the holiday takes place in the fresh air.

The most popular shades for a wedding vest are emerald and marsala (dark wine color). They go great with a black suit. If the bride has chosen a classic white dress, then together with the groom in an emerald suit and white shirt they will create incredibly beautiful couple.

You need to select a vest as carefully as a shirt. It must fit exactly to your figure, for this it is recommended sew a thing from a tailor. If this is not possible, then you should choose a vest until you find the ideal option.

• the bottom button usually remains undone;
• if a vest is worn, the tie clip is excluded;
• The vest should not hang down at the shoulders and cover the collar of the shirt.

If you adhere to fashion, it is undesirable to wear a trouser belt. It's better to replace it with suspenders. But this is only a recommendation and is not a strict rule.

In cool weather you can wear a vest made of knitwear or a warm knitted one, which is worn over the head. It looks less formal, but also stylish. You can attach a boutonniere to a warm vest, and the festive look will be completed.

Groom's pants or shorts

In fact, shorts come in different varieties; there are models in classic version , which are perfectly acceptable to wear to a wedding. Of course, you need to correctly combine them with other details of the image.

Classic-cut shorts made in soothing colors in combination with a jacket, shirt and tie will be an excellent alternative to a regular suit.

Choosing a shirt to match shorts is not the easiest task. But there are several universal recommendations to help you choose:

• the shirt should be at least a tone lighter than the shorts (white shorts should be paired with a white shirt);
• a pattern or colorful ornament can be either only on shorts or only on a shirt;
• the shirt should be made of more light fabric than shorts.

As for shoes, shoes are best, but not black patent leather, but light, beige, possibly with perforations. If you are allowed to show some relaxation in other details, then it should be classic so as not to turn the image into an everyday one.

Groom style: basic mistakes

When choosing clothes for the groom, many make common mistakes that ruin the entire look. To prevent this from happening, you should know the main mistakes and smart decisions.

Shiny suit fabric is not at all considered suitable for the groom's look. The synthetic fabric of the suit, shimmering in the sun, will reveal a complete lack of taste. The groom's attire must be completed from noble matte materials.

The white color of the shirt is rarely suitable for men of the Slavic type of appearance; in daylight the groom will simply get lost, he will seem pale and expressionless

If you still need a light shirt, then you can give preference to light beige shades or ivory or milky colors. It is worth trying brighter colors, they can help create stylish look .

The wide tie is a relic of the past. They have long gone out of fashion and can easily ruin even the most nice outfit groom Narrow ones look much more attractive. It is recommended to pay attention to neckerchiefs - an excellent accessory for a stylish look.

Suits in traditional dark tones have already set the teeth on edge, and more and more often grooms are giving preference to clothes in light and bright colors. Since 2013, the groom's blue suit at a wedding has become one of the most popular trends in the world of wedding fashion.

One of the main advantages of blue wedding suits is that they suit men of any type of appearance. This happens thanks to the many shades, each of which has its own name - cornflower blue, electric blue, ultramarine, cobalt, azure, royal blue, sapphire, military navy, indigo, etc.

The blue suit has become very popular lately.

The blue color is very insidious and may not add freshness to the groom’s image, but, on the contrary, turn him into a rather gloomy figure. So its shades need to be selected according to the palette that suits the color type of appearance.

4 main types of appearance of the groom at a wedding

Depending on what colors predominate in a man’s appearance (hair, eyes, skin), there are 4 main types of appearance:

Winter type, the most characteristic feature of which is contrast light skin With dark hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. Grooms with this color type are suitable for all cold and bright shades of blue - ultramarine, dark blue, cobalt, azure (including bright azure and azure-gray), sapphire, etc. More light shades They don’t “look” at all on such men.

The summer type is characterized by light tones in appearance - white or slightly tanned skin, brown hair(from bright blonde to ashy) and light eyes.

“Summer” grooms should, regardless of the time of year, give preference to calm shades of blue - aquamarine, neon turquoise, forget-me-not (bluish-gray), heavenly, pale cornflower blue, powder blue, etc.

The autumn type of male appearance attracts attention with slightly dark or tanned skin, chestnut, dark brown or reddish hair and eyes of warm colors. For grooms with an autumn color type, it is most difficult to choose the appropriate shade of blue. They will look most advantageous in suits in the colors of blue steel, military navy (the color of greatcoats of the northern fleet), Prussian blue, violet-gray and Persian blue.

The spring type is distinguished by warm colors in appearance, but not as bright as in the summer version. Blonde hair and skin, reddish freckles, gray, olive and blue color. For grooms with a spring appearance, all pure light shades of blue are suitable - blue, azure, sea green, cornflower blue, indigo, electric blue, aquamarine, royal blue, forget-me-not, etc.

The most advantageous shade of the groom's blue suit can only be determined during fitting.

It should be taken into account that all shades of blue tend to darken slightly in evening or artificial light.

Selection of a wedding suit for the groom

Blue groom's wedding suit and fabric

First of all, the fabric must be wrinkle-resistant, so that at the end of the celebration the wedding suit does not look “slightly chewed.” It is also best that the clothes are made from matte fabric, since shiny costume or lurex threads can glare in the light and ruin all the photos.

A herringbone, checkered or interlaced pattern can itself decorate the groom's suit. In addition, there is no fabric that is not available in different shades of blue.
Separately, it is worth noting that blue allows you to use fabric such as velvet in the groom’s suit.

The blue color is very successful because the texture of the fabric is clearly visible on it.

This expensive material does not “look” at all in any other color. But the blue velvet jacket gives the image of the newlyweds some impressiveness and “lordliness”.

Blue groom suit for wedding and accessories

The groom's outfit is not limited to just a suit. It is necessary to select appropriate accessories for it, without which the image of a happy newlywed would not be complete.

Such finishing touches include shirts, vests, ties (scarves and bow ties), boutonnieres, and also.

Depending on the shade, only dark brown and black shoes are suitable for the groom's blue suit. Under no circumstances white or beige! In this case, the trouser belt must be combined in color and texture with the shoes.

The color of the shirt and vest (if a two-piece suit) should be in contrast to the color of the suit. As a rule, in blue wedding dresses, preference is given to crisp white or steel-gray shirts. Vests, if available, are always darker than shirts or matched to the color of the suit. The most common options are a dark blue suit for the groom, with a black vest and white shirt.

The tie of the groom's blue suit at a wedding should either contrast or completely match in shade. The latter is a rather difficult task, and therefore ties, bow ties, and scarves in grooms’ suits often have contrasting shades - white, milky, golden, bright yellow, dark, etc.

When choosing the color of a necklace, it is important to remember the harmony of color combinations. For example, red and scarlet shades do not suit the blue palette at all.

A rare designer of wedding clothes has ignored Blue colour. Wedding fashion magazines, websites of relevant stores and ateliers are full of photos of blue suits of all shades and styles that can satisfy the most demanding and picky groom.

People love to talk about weddings in lofty terms. Your wedding should be “the happiest day of your life,” “the most important day of your life,” “the greatest day of your life,” and so on. We would add that a wedding should be one of the days when you are dressed at your best. Whatever form the ceremony takes, it certainly deserves your stylish appearance.

How to dress for a wedding, if in many cases the groom's outfit and suit require some coordination with the bride's dress and the wedding style? Let's figure out what to wear to the wedding for the groom and how to look 100%.

If we jump ahead a little, then after the wedding, looking at the wedding photographs, in more than half of them you will be with the bride in all possible angles and staged scenes. Obviously in these photos you shouldn't give in chic dress brides But how to do this if the options for wedding suits for the groom are as varied as the types wedding ceremonies? Let's look at the basic principles that everyone can follow.

You should look as good as you can

You should look as good by the end of the day as you did at the beginning. Your wedding is a special moment, and you should look the part. Your grooms suit should be a classic example of the style you have chosen. Those who wear a tuxedo should be an example of ""; those who wear a suit to a wedding must select the rest of their wardrobe carefully, and also choose carefully.

We're emphasizing classic style not because we want you to dress like your grandfather (which might actually be a good idea), we just don't want your wedding photos there was a specific time stamp. Do you remember the photos of your parents and/or friends that have fashionable hairstyles from the 80s and voluminous curls from the 90s? A fashionable appearance is just a temporary phase that will pass sooner or later. Instead, go for suits and silhouettes that are timeless.

Classic two-piece groom suit: modern elegance

A basic two-piece groom's suit is often the simplest and most striking option for a man. More sophisticated options such as tuxedos and frock coats are more expensive in Russia and the CIS countries, although it is possible that the person and his guests already have formal wear. Also, such clothing involves rules that many are not familiar with.

If you want people at your wedding to look stylish, but they're on a tight budget and you don't want to look tactless, it's worth sticking with. Plus, you don't need to buy new suit for a wedding if you already have a simple, solid suit in dark gray or navy blue. These dark formal colors are totally suitable for a wedding and many people will be very happy to wear a suit that they already have in their wardrobe and is in excellent condition. By the way, the groom's wedding suit can be rented. This way you will save some money.

Plain Classic Groom's Two-Piece Suit

The best wedding suits for the groom are those in charcoal gray or deep navy blue, although lighter gray, khaki and blue suits can also work in the summer months and in exotic locations.

Avoid bright, colorful suits as they are a novelty item and too colorful for a wedding unless you are getting married in Las Vegas.

In Russia, colored themed weddings have been gaining momentum lately. I realize that most grooms reading this article are under some control from their brides, but still, if you can, try to resist this.

This is fine for a high school graduation, but not for adults who want to publicly exchange promises and rings. You shouldn't be looking to match your tie, boutonniere, and pocket square to a specific color theme, but rather choose them to complement you and the bride.

Avoid heavy elements that distract the eye and may conflict with the wedding style.

Formal patterns such as stripes or checks have a business association, and this is not suitable for festive events. Stick to a solid or semi-solid color suit for the most elegant look.

Black and white groom suit

Black suits are sometimes seen as a looser version of the tuxedo as wedding wear. This is a somewhat imprecise understanding. Black is a highly formal color, but due to its association with tuxedos and evening wear, it may not be entirely suitable for a wedding ceremony.

Wearing black indoors can have the effect of washing out some of your features and creating a stark contrast that pops up in photos.

The color of the groom's clothing should not completely match the bride's, so a white suit should be avoided. White is traditional color brides, and too much white can wash away the contrast of the couple and merge the colors. If your bride is wearing a traditional White dress, then we highly recommend a colored groom’s outfit.

If you're not dead set on just a black and white suit, we recommend considering charcoal gray or navy options. These colors are easier to match, much more practical to wear, and have been a classic for decades.

Style and cut of groom's wedding suits

A wedding suit doesn't have to be just a single-breasted, two-button jacket - although of course it can be that. Single-breasted jackets are simple, understated and dignified.

If you're feeling the need for a little more sophistication on your wedding day, a double-breasted suit will add weight and formality to the outfit, but this highly formal attire will also require a tie and formal shirt. An open shirt collar will not go well with a double-breasted suit. This suit is also less comfortable to wear, especially if you need to sit for a long time.

But an equally formal and more versatile option is the three-piece suit ensemble; Adds formality and elegance to a basic men's suit by pairing it with a vest.

Adding a vest to a suit can serve the same purpose as a double-breasted suit, but you can always remove the vest and return to a regular single-breasted two-piece suit. Wedding photographers like to take relaxed photos of the groom in just a vest and trousers, with the jacket thrown over his shoulder, so be prepared to take off and put on clothes if you choose a suit with a vest.

Dress shirt for wedding

Light shades of blue, off-white, and cream are also acceptable as long as they do not clash with the bride's dress. Remember that the shirt collar will be visible in all your photos, so make sure it matches.

If you decide to skip the tie and not wear one (see below), make sure you wear a shirt with a collar that sits properly. The average distance between the edges of the gate is right choice, and also make sure that they do not curl up.

Don't underestimate the importance of a tank top for your wedding day. You'll sweat, and it's best to have a layer of extra protection.

How to choose a tie for a wedding

The choice of tie is important because it is in close proximity to your face. Just like your shirt collar, the color and pattern of your tie will feature heavily in the photos and videos of the day. A wedding is not the time for a trendy or flashy tie—opt for a subdued pattern and color instead.

Look for a tie with one strong base color in blue, green, gold or brown with a modest pattern. In it you will look elegant, and not too flashy. Avoid red ties as they are more suitable for business meetings.

Shoes for the groom's wedding suit

Check out the classic Oxford Balmoral that complements the fabric of your suit. are acceptable if you plan to wear a suit over light color or a suit without a tie. Either way, make sure your boots have a nice shine and they should match the belt (closely, not necessarily exactly).

Groomsmen, suits and their matching

In the West, the groom, witnesses and his friends often dress in the same suits, which looks quite funny. On the other hand, in photographs you don’t always understand at first glance where the groom is and where his friends are. In fact, we advise you to stay away from this Western phenomenon and instead of encouraging everyone to dress the same, make sure your friends' outfits complement each other.

A wedding party with men wearing suits of similar colors but different styles will look better than completely coordinated outfits, as it will look more natural rather than contrived.

Official version: weddings in the style of “Black Tie”

Weddings in the style of " Black Tie"or "Black Tie" are very popular in the West, but are sometimes found in our latitudes.

We should note that technically Black Tie is evening wear and should not be worn before 5pm.

Now, if you and your bride are aiming for a Black Tie wedding, then you need to dress accordingly. Although, wearing a Black Tie is often more expensive than a suit, it is actually easier to wear as the rules governing this style are very cut and dry - wearing a classic tuxedo means following the same rules as the rest of bohemian society .

If you follow the Black Tie dress code, we recommend purchasing your own tuxedo; Rental tuxedos are usually made of synthetic materials; you will sweat and be uncomfortable all evening. This is definitely not what you want at your wedding.

Remember that most people don't have a Black Tie ensemble available - they will need at least a few months to rent or purchase a tuxedo.

Finally, be wary of newfangled brightly colored tuxedos or imitation "Black Tie" styles; The only impression this will leave about your wedding day is that you have absolutely no sense of style.

Aristocratic option: morning suit

Couples with daytime or evening ceremonies who want as formal a wedding as possible can choose a morning suit style.

Morning suits consist of a single-breasted suit and waistcoat (usually in contrasting colors), high turn-down collar with a matching tie, and striped or discreet trousers.

The style is intended to emphasize the formality of the upper class and aristocratic events, although it was originally considered casual wear in the West in the same conditions. Nowadays, it is a very formal and very rare style of dress, sometimes seen in the UK and rarely seen here in Russia. A morning suit is a very obliging outfit. It requires items of clothing that very few people have, and even many tailors will find it difficult to assemble all the necessary items correctly.

While vibrant, it is undoubtedly also one of the most difficult traditional wedding attire options to pull off.

Remember your bride

The bride's outfit will outshine the groom's outfit in terms of wealth and extravagance. This is natural and expected. Your outfit should complement, not compete with, the bride's outfit. If you haven't already, don't be afraid to collaborate on outfit selections with your future wife.

Consider various options, calculate your budget, check with stakeholders, and make a decision several months in advance.
