Why Classic Black for Your Groom

As the groom, all eyes are on you and your future spouse. And on your wedding day, you want to look impeccably stylish and show a little swag. While you might not be sure what to wear or how to dress your groomsmen, this simple guide can help you with ordering your suit or tux. And, you’ll be picture-perfect on your big day.

Black is a perfect option to wear on your big day. It’s the ultimate dapper look. James Bond would be proud. If you’re afraid of looking like you’re going to a funeral or like you’re getting married last century, then please, stop now. That’s just ridiculous. Black is back, baby.

Here are a few tips to help you look stylish for your wedding day and have your groomsmen looking their best:

WHY BLACK IS TIMELESS

Black is traditional for weddings because it’s classic and formal. It’s easy to match up with most color palettes. Black also goes well with everything. You can take the fuss out of planning. It’s timeless, versatile, all-season and simple to accessorize with other color schemes and patterns. Pray tell, can you think of a look that’s better than a black tuxedo?

SUIT OR TUX?

Are you unsure of whether to wear a suit or a tuxedo? When you think suit, you likely envision someone going to work. If you think tuxedo, you might be reminded of Tom Cruise or Daniel Craig in a spy movie. There’s no denying it. A black suit or tux is undeniably sharp. And, you will look your best.

WITH A SUIT:

• You can wear a tie or bow-tie.
• You can wear lace-ups or loafers.
• Accessorize how you see fit: pocket square, cufflinks, or tie bar.
• Suits are for weddings and date night.

WITH A TUXEDO:

• A tuxedo may have satin lapels, satin buttons, and a satin stripe down the pant leg.
• A tuxedo’s accessories include a cummerbund, suspenders, a bow-tie, or vest.
• Shoes with a tuxedo are traditionally black patent leather.
• Tuxedos are for formal occasions like the opera, a charity ball or a black-tie wedding.
• With a tuxedo, you can also mix and match (lapel styles) tuxedos and suits in your wedding party.
• And, you can dress more formal than your groomsmen.

COORDINATE WITH YOUR GROOMSMEN AND BRIDAL PARTY

Groomsmen will generally wear attire that matches or is similar to the groom. All your groomsmen should wear suits or tuxedos. And, your colors can coordinate with the bridesmaids and your future spouse. For example, if peach is the color of the flowers, let your groomsmen wear a peach flower in their lapel or add a peach pocket square.

If you’re going with a tuxedo, more than likely, you’ll stay classic with a black tie and white pocket square, so don’t worry too much about color-matching here. What’s more important is the style. Tuxes are automatically more formal and should match the occasion and style of bridesmaids dresses.

RENTAL SUITS AND RENTAL TUXEDOS

When deciding what you want to wear, you want to be comfortable. Your rental suit or tuxedo should be a satisfying fit. And, renting is an excellent idea because you can find the latest suits and tuxedo styles. You can also ensure all your groomsmen have the right fit and that their suits match perfectly.
