Gone are the days when fashionability at a wedding was focused on the bride and not the groom. When it comes to wedding suits, there is more to it than just getting a tux. Most people skip on the personalisation bit and end up with a bland look. So, how do you choose the perfect wedding suit for your big day? Here are a few tips.
1. Select a Colour Scheme
Are you going to dress the same as your groomsmen? If you are dressing the same, consider selecting a colour scheme that adequately complements the wedding. Check the venue, the flowers, and the general style of the wedding. Since you already know the bridesmaids' colour, consider adding it as an accessory.
2. Go for Complementary Outfits
The suit you wear should complement the outfits worn by the groomsmen. While they don’t have to be identical, they must look or seem like they belong together. For instance, if you choose to wear blue, your groomsmen should be closer to blue and not green. If you are in alinen suit, ensure that the groomsmen are also wearing linen fabric.
3. Know the Season
A winter and summer wedding will never be the same. If your wedding is in the summer, you are more suited to lighter colours and fabrics. On the other hand, darker colours and heavier fabrics will work best for winter weddings. Above everything else, ensure your choice ofwedding suitsis comfortable for you based on the season.
4. Accessorise as Much As Possible
The groom must accessorise to stand out and differentiate from his groomsmen. If you are wearing the same type of tuxedo, consider accessorising with a pocket square or tie to set yourself apart. You can also get a differently coloured waistcoat for that differentiation. Since it is your wedding, you can personalise the accessories as much as you want.
And there you have it! Even though black tuxedos are the traditional look for weddings, men have stepped out to blend in more style and personalisation to it. Start by checking the wedding season so you know what fabrics and colours to select. Ensure that your look complements that of the groomsmen and the general setting of the wedding. Lastly, don’t shy away from accessorising. It is your big day and you can accessorise as much as you have always wanted to.
