What Grooms Should Avoid Wearing
The wedding fashion standards for men couldn’t be higher today. Groom’s fashion is much more than just wearing a suit or tux. It is essential to consider the color and accessories to put together your best look. It’s your day too. Coordinating with the bride is mandatory. Our previous blog posts discuss what you should wear but today, we tapped fashion designer Jeffery Holden, CEO of JH Bespoke, for his expertise on what grooms should avoid wearing.
Poorly Fitted Suit or Tuxedo
According to Holden, “If your tuxedo doesn’t fit you perfectly, you won’t look or feel good in your photos. And wedding photos are forever.” The details matter. Your big day is not the day or the time to be slacking on your fit. You do not want to be the groom that messes up the entire aesthetic of the wedding. You’re already starting your marriage off the wrong way.
JH Bespoke offers bespoke tailored suits and tuxedos for grooms. He also offers countless ways to customize and personalize your wedding day fit. From monogrammed initials on your French-cuff button down shirt, fabrics, linings, shoulder types, lapels, etc. You can also have your blazers, shirts, and other details customized as well.
Too Many Accessories
Accessories enhance your look. It is one of the best ways to show your sense of style. Holden makes it very clear that having too many accessories distract from your look. Typically, you want to choose a boutonniere’ or a pocket square. Both are acceptable on your wedding day. The third and final accessory should be a classic timepiece, bracelet, or a pocket watch. Be sure to wear a tie clip if you’re wearing a long tie. Always remember, less is more. Your tuxedo should be the main element of your look that guests and photographers focus on.
Suspenders or Belt
You can wear one or the other, but you can’t wear both. Suspenders and belts have the same purpose and that is hold your pants up. If your slacks have belt-loops, then just wear the belt. Holden shares that it just downright embarrassing.
