Sure, the bride must always be the center of attention and we’re all rooting for her, but the groom should also get his fair share of attention, don’t you think? With that in mind, the whole process of wedding planning – from the decision-making process to the bridal gown and to the groom’s tuxedo - can be a little overwhelming, to say the least.
Where should you start, what should be on your top 5 “must do now” list and which other details can wait for a while? The questions are endless and the migraines even more so. But there’s a little detail that brides seem to forget about when planning for their wedding…the groom. What should he wear? Should he be matching the bride or is it a non-relevant detail?
Below, we explore some of the most trending styles a groom should always choose from, when getting ready for his big day.
- A classic tux is timeless and thus, it will never go out of style. So if the groom is a conventional kind-of-guy, a black tux is the way to go. And by black tux we mean, silk lapels and buttons and a white shirt.
- Adding a little spice and sharpness to a groom’s wedding look is always a good idea. That said, grooms can always go for the brighter route, ergo wearing a white tux to the wedding – and no, there’s no rule that says the groom can’t wear white.
- Non-traditional weddings call for non-traditional suits and tuxes. So if the groom wants to play it perky, then prints are the way to go. Having fun with prints can go from a simple pocket square to a tie, a formal shirt or even pants – gasp.
- How about a linen suit for a beach wedding? There’s nothing fresher and more fun than a good old linen suit to make you feel like you’ve organized the beach wedding of your dreams!
- If the groom is not a big fan of brogues or derbies or any kind of formal shoes for that matter, there’s no law against a good old pair of sneakers. PS: White shoes are of preference.
- And finally, if the groom is as wild as a fox, then mismatching the trousers and the jacket are not a bad idea after all – and perfect for a destination wedding, as a matter of fact.
