Five tips for Grooms

While grooms often expect their shopping experience to be quick and easy, that’s not always the case. There’s a lot more that goes into a groom's outfit than what appears on the surface. In this blog post, we'll explore essential fashion and styling tips to help grooms prepare and look their best on their wedding day.

Find the perfect suit 

The foundation of a groom's wedding day attire is a suit, and finding the perfect suit isn’t always as straightforward as you might think. Start by considering the wedding theme and venue, is it a traditional wedding or something more relaxed and contemporary? Traditional or formal weddings call for classic tuxedos or tailored suits in black, navy, or charcoal. For more casual affairs, a lighter suit or blazer combination can work, as long as you’ve consulted with your partner on what the theme will be like for the day.

Don’t forget about alterations

A well-fitted suit is what’s going to make all the difference to how you look on the day. You want to make sure that the suit is tailored to your measurements so you look polished and smart on the day. You don’t want a suit that is too big or too small on you, and it’s important to visit a professional seamstress to make sure your suit is tailored perfectly.

Embrace colours and textures

While black and navy are timeless options, don't be afraid to incorporate colours and textures into your ensemble. Depending on the season and your personal style, consider shades like deep burgundy, emerald green, or even a light pastel colour. Additionally, experiment with different fabric textures like velvet, tweed, or linen. Long gone are the days when only the bride got many different outfit options, the groom can also experiment with different styles to see what you like the best.

Accessorise with care

Accessories play a crucial role in completing a groom's outfit, and there are so many small but impactful details you can add. Consider adding a tie or bowtie that coordinates with the wedding colours or complements your partner's attire, something that really brings the whole wedding party together. Pocket squares, tie bars, and cufflinks are other small but impactful details you can add to your outfit to help show some of your individuality. And it’s also important to think about your shoes and belt, you want to make sure they’re matching in style to keep your look cohesive.

Personalise with meaningful details 

Add sentimental touches to your outfit that hold special significance. For example, wear a family heirloom, such as a tie clip or cufflinks passed down through generations. If you don’t have anything passed down, you could do something else such as engraving your initials or wedding date on the inside of your jacket or wedding band. This is your opportunity to start an heirloom you can pass down.

Look and feel your best on your wedding day

By following these fashion and styling tips, you can ensure that you radiate confidence, elegance, and individuality. Remember, it's your day too, so embrace your personal style and create an ensemble that represents the best version of you.
