Wedding Attire For Grooms
Sure, we all know that the bride is destined to be the star of the day at a wedding, but what about the groom? Let's not overlook him! More and more men these days agree: what they wear matters too, and believe it or not, many grooms have opinions on their wedding attire. Here is a look on the trends in wedding attire for grooms.
One big trend for formal weddings is for the groom to wear a tuxedo with a straight tie rather than a bow tie. You only have to look to Hollywood to see this trend in action on the red carpet. Check out how dashing Hollywood's leading men look in their tuxedos with straight black ties at the Academy Awards. This is a trend that has come into its own in mens' wedding fashion, as well. A lot of guys think that the bow tie is just too dorky or old-fashioned, while the straight tie feels much more hip and modern.
Bring that around full circle, because there is also in fact a revival of bow ties on younger men these days (huh?), just not with formal tuxedos. Grooms and groomsmen are wearing bow ties in fun prints for preppy weddings. To see how to interpret this wedding trend in a way that is preppy-chic, not old fuddy-duddy, flip through any Vineyard Vines catalog. There you will see how a bow tie with a nautical motif or even in with the logo of your alma mater can be very cool when worn with a khakis, a navy blazer, and a pastel shirt (pink, if you dare; light blue or yellow, if you dare not).
The hip city loft wedding trend is going strong, and the attire that would suit a groom in a country club or hotel ballroom simply will not work in such an aggressively hip setting. The answer: a custom suit (or at least a custom tailored one). The cut of the suit should be more Hedi Slimane than Brooks Brothers. Anything Italian is good. A British cut suit can also work well if the groom has the "geek chic" thing going on, but it has to be worn with an air of irony and slightly mussed hair.
Even more traditional grooms are taking more of an interest in what they wear for their weddings. They may not go for custom suits or Hollywood inspired fashion, but that doesn't mean that they are willing to leave the entire decision in the bride's hands either. These are the grooms who will wear a classic tuxedo for the evening or a navy blue suit for a daytime wedding, but they use their accessories to put a personal stamp on the outfit (yes, technically, men do wear accessories!). It could be as subtle as a patterned pair of dress socks instead of basic black, or adding a dash of color to a suit with an interesting pocket square. Many brides will also give their fiances gifts of wedding jewelry which can be worn to add personality to their attire. Popular wedding jewelry gifts for grooms include silver cufflinks and pocketwatches.
So you see, it is in fact possible for a groom to show some style on his wedding day. He is probably in no danger of upstaging the bride (let's hope not!), but he can still put together a look that has character and personality. And brides, just think of how handsome your stylish groom will look in the wedding photos!
