Most men start looking for the right wedding suit about six months before their wedding. It’s important to know in advance what you want in terms of fabric, color, and the type of suit. This blog will guide you from head to toe.
A wedding suit
In the fall, the weather is usually a bit cooler. That’s why during this time of year, wedding suits are available in deeper colors like dark green, rust, and dark blue. Layering is always a good choice in the fall! Why? Because there might be a warmer day in between. Choose a waistcoat that matches the rest of the suit so you can take off your blazer when needed. With a waistcoat with your suit, you’ll always look sharp.
Shirt to get married in
There are plenty of shirts to choose from, but which one is the right one? If you want to do it right, go for a shirt specially made for weddings. These shirts always have a slightly more stylish appearance and different fabric than the ‘ordinary’ business shirts. But whatever you choose, your shirt should match the color of the wedding dress. With white or off-white, you’re usually on the right track. In addition, you have the choice between a single or double cuff. Therefore, consider whether you want to wear cufflinks; these should come out from under the sleeves of the jacket. Cufflinks are often passed down from generation to generation. It may happen that you buy them yourself to perhaps start a new tradition. You can check out our range of cufflinks here.
Necktie
A tie completes the outfit and adds a touch of elegance. The choice of tie is up to you. Don’t forget that on this special day, you’re allowed to stand out, so the tie doesn’t have to be the safe dark blue. Want to make sure that no one has the same tie? Opt for a champagne-colored tie. This color automatically evokes a festive feel, and you’ll look stylish. If you find it challenging to choose the right tie, get advice in one of our shops.
Shoes
The right shoes complete the outfit with the suit. Wearing sneakers is an option, but a nice pair of dress shoes is more suitable. There are many different types of men’s dress shoes. Look carefully at what suits you best and choose from lace-up shoes, single monk, double monk, and decide between suede or leather.
Socks
You might not think about it every day, and certainly not on the most beautiful day of your life, but socks say something about your character. When you choose black, formal socks, that’s your choice, and you prefer a more conservative way of dressing. But if you love colors and have a group of friends who value humor, try Happy Socks for a change. Take a look at our extensive collection of socks, from basic to fun prints.
Getting married, but not in a wedding suit
Don’t want to wear a suit? Then, with a pair of chinos combined with a dress shirt and blazer, you’ll look neat. This is also something that’s very trendy nowadays! However, make sure to discuss this with your bride beforehand. Women tend to be more traditional in this regard and would prefer to see you in a nice suit at the altar. If you opt for a more casual look, pay attention to the details and make sure you still coordinate with the bride.
