If you think that before the wedding, only the bride is tormented by the search for a suitable dress, then you are greatly mistaken. A wedding suit for the groom is no less important, since it is quite difficult to choose an option that matches the figure, fashion trends, and also fits in style to the bride's outfit. In the article, we will consider in more detail the technique and rules for selecting such a suit.
Choosing a costume for a traditional celebration
Of course, if future spouses have outlined their most important holiday in life according to all traditions and rules, then the outfit should be chosen in the same direction. And what, if not the classic, is the most traditional? Of the classic costume models, the following should be highlighted:
- a tuxedo, which is usually complemented by a bow tie;
- tailcoat in a company with a vest (for special occasions);
- a three-piece wedding suit for the groom, which includes, as a rule, a double-breasted or single-breasted jacket.
Choosing a costume, you need to take as a guide not only its beauty, but also practicality, because after the wedding you can wear it to other events. It is also necessary to pay attention to the length of the trousers - they should end at the level of the middle of the heel. The length of the sleeve in a classic jacket is usually a couple of centimeters shorter than the cuffs of the shirt, and the floors descend below the hips by five to six centimeters.
Outfit for a casual wedding
For a more liberal or thematic celebration, you can not create a very strict bow. In this case, it is worth choosing a wedding suit for the groom, in which bright details will play. For example, it can be colored lapels. It is also possible to experiment with matter of different textures and different colors. One of the fashion trends in this season are considered costumes in which the elements vary in color. So, the blue bottom and white top look great together and vice versa. To the supporters of the neoclassical style, fashion designers offer a “berry” jacket to combine with black trousers.
Dress up for a trendy party
Modern youth longs for new sensations and fashion trends. Recently, many people risk celebrating a wedding in unusual conditions, for example, abroad. An exit wedding on the beach, where there is no place for conservatism, has long become fashionable. However, in many domestic cities, you can extraordinary “walk” and put on an unusual wedding suit for the groom. St. Petersburg, Moscow and other major cities only welcome such events.
Designers took all this into account, and completely unprecedented styles of wedding dresses appeared on the catwalks. So, the trousers turned into loose pants, and the jacket remained the same. In addition, as it turned out, the wedding suit for the groom may not have trousers at all - their place was taken by loose-fitting shorts in the summer version and jeans in the demi-season. To secure them, a fitted jacket was added. Of course, this style is exclusively for extravagant people.
Suits of grooms in which there is no usual jacket for us look no less eccentric. If the wedding takes place during the hot season, a shirt in combination with a bright vest will look quite relevant. Bold suspenders that decorate wedding suits for the groom will help to emphasize individuality. Photos taken at weddings confirm the fact that modern men are ready to experiment and closely monitor fashion.
Fashionable colors
Adherents of the classical style, stylists recommend paying attention to the black or gray color of the groom's wedding suit, as these are basic tones. This also includes navy blue and dark green.
For lovers of something new and extraordinary, the following palette is offered:
- for weddings in the warm season, whether it be summer, spring or early autumn, light brown and beige shades are suitable;
- the white color of the costume will attract attention and emphasize the gorgeous style of the groom, but here you need to be careful and choose the color of the fabric in accordance with the color of the bride’s wedding dress, otherwise one of the outfits will seem dirty.
- wine color and all its shades (now the peak color of Marsala is at its peak) - this is a new-fangled trend that has sharply proved to be popular among men around the world;
- light lilac and lilac - an appropriate option for a youth wedding in the springtime.
In addition to mono-onions, a mixture of different shades in one outfit is often found. So, fashion experts suggest adding white accents to the black suit to make it not so gloomy.
How to choose the right color
The shade of the formal attire should be chosen based on taste preferences, the format of the wedding, the bride’s dress and, of course, the external data of the groom himself. So, bright brunettes are ideally suited for rich colors: black, brown, eggplant, emerald. Owners of straw hair should look at light tones. There is a very wide selection of shades, including white, beige, cream, matte, light gray, yellowish, etc. The blue wedding suit for the groom is considered universal - it suits all types, you just need to choose the right shade.
The next step is the selection of the color of the shirt, which is an integral part of the image. Depending on the shirt and suit, the color of the tie and handkerchief is selected. Here, opinions differ: some stylists recommend choosing a tie to match the shirt or vest, while others recommend creating a contrast and choosing this element of a completely different color. In any case, the overall appearance should be holistic and beautiful. As for the belt and shoes, they are usually selected in the same color also correspondingly to the color scheme of the full parade. But the groom’s boutonniere should “keep up” with the bride’s bouquet. As practice shows, made of fresh flowers quickly loses its pristine appearance, so it will be useful to stock up on yet another artificial boutonniere.
Choose material and texture
This year, world-famous couturiers insist that wedding suits for the bride and groom, made from the same fabric, are outdated in nature. They advise you to look at:
- Printed outfits (e.g., stripe, checkered, floral pattern)
- suits made of combined fabrics (trousers made of smooth fabric, and a jacket made of textured);
- textured materials with 3D ornaments and drawings;
- unusual fabrics (for summer celebration you can take linen or silk, and for winter - velvet or velveteen);
- the ombre color effect, which from women's fashion has now penetrated into men's fashion.
How to add a twist to a costume
To look appropriate and at the same time fashionable, you should not wear too flashy outfit. Elderly relatives invited to a wedding may not understand you. However, if the wedding is more youthful in nature, adding “fashionable tricks” will not hurt.
So, we list the attributes that are fashionable this season:
- We choose moccasins or loafers instead of the usual shoes of a classic shape.
- We replace the traditional long vest with a shortened version of bright colors.
- We can safely remove the plain tie or bow tie, and instead we select a small scarf with an interesting pattern.
All these highlights must necessarily correspond to the format of the event, the venue and the general atmosphere.
