While it is true that wedding gowns get most of the attention

for a wedding, formal wear for the groom is still very

important. You can start shopping for men’s formal wear at any

time, but it’s better to wait until after the brides dress has

been selected, this will give you an opportunity to coordinate

the look and feel of the tuxedo to the wedding gown as much as

possible. It is true that it’s almost impossible to look bad in

a tuxedo there are ways that you can make yourself look better.

Here are some tips to help you find the right formal wear for

your wedding.

If your wedding is going to be an informal affair you probably

won’t want a tuxedo. It’s much more appropriate to wear a

formal suit or dinner jacket. If the affair is indoors or in

the winter black, navy, dark gray or brown is the most

appropriate color. For outdoor summer wedding you can wear a

white or ivory jacket paired with dark slacks.

For a semi-formal wedding you are going to want a tuxedo for

the groom and all of the groomsmen. While black is the usual

color you can branch out into other colors if they catch your

eye. The groomsmen should all be wearing bow ties and

cummerbunds that coordinate with the bridesmaid’s dresses.

For formal events you are going to want a tuxedo or black

tailcoat. By pairing a tailcoat with a white tie and white vest

or waistcoat you create a very elegant look. The shirt should

have French cuffs with a matching cufflinks and shirt button

studs. To complete the look wear highly polished black patent

leather shoes. Some grooms like to wear a top hat and grey

glove but these are optional and really up to the taste of the

bride and groom.
