There is no reason why picking out your wedding attire has to be boring, make it a fun day out with the boys. So grab your groomsmen, and let’s go find you that perfect outfit!

Still lost? Don’t worry… Read along for some inspiration!
Add a pop of color
Usually, grooms like to keep it simple and go for the standard black or blue suits with a white blouse.
Nowadays, there’s no need to stick to the traditional outfit choices, you have the freedom to do as you please.
So… Think outside the box and add your flair to it.
Want to wear a burgundy suit… why not?!
You could even match your suit color with your partner’s accessories (think wedding garter), this way you’re both connected in your own subtle way.
Don’t be afraid to be daring
Are you having an outdoor wedding ceremony (think beach or park) during the daytime? It’s so common now for grooms to pair a suit jacket (or blazer) with some classy shorts.
Comfy, casual, and bold! You’ll be that one-of-a-kind groom to remember.
If you want to look a bit more refined, but still maintain that casual style, go for a nice stormy blue-colored suit paired with some sneakers.
One important aspect for taking this route is to have every item tailored to fit your body perfectly. This way you will maintain that classy look regardless of what you’re wearing!
Match the season
The easiest guideline is to dress for the season!
Summer wedding – Breathable fabrics are your best friend! Think linen pants and blouses paired with some classy shoes.
Fall wedding – Pair a velvety brown jacket with some dark green pants and you’re matching the mood and rocking the fall colors.
Winter wedding – Layers are very much welcome! Think of a royal blue 3-piece suit, so it allows you to take off the suit jacket when the party begins.
Spring wedding – Light and airy, comes to mind. Pastel colors are appropriate during this season. Pair your suit with some accessories and you’re good to go.
Accessorize appropriately
So, you’ve chosen your outfit and think you’re done. Sorry sir, not yet! Now, it’s time for accessories.
Think of your cufflinks, pocket squares, socks, and your watch. A fun idea is to include your groomsmen in this process, maybe by wearing matching socks or having a similar style of cufflinks or pocket squares.
This way you can have this fun and unique memory with them of your wedding day.
Really want to stand out? Wear a unique hat that, of course, matches with the overall wedding style you’re going for.
At the end of the day, YOU have to be comfortable with what you’re getting married in! Have fun with it, it’s your special day.
