[print this page] Here are some tips on how to choose the most suitable attire for your groomsmen namely: go for discounts, make sure it is comfortable, pick the right fit, visit bridal shops, choose according to affair, and match color to your motif.
Choosing the right attire for your groomsmen is neither that easy nor difficult at all. Although there are only few options to choose from as compared to the bridesmaids, there are some tips to follow when choosing such as:
Go for discounts
If you are planning to rent instead of buying your own set of suit, rent by bulk, so that you can save few bucks. Do not be ashamed to ask for a discount because as a customer, you have the right to ask for one. As much as possible, do not rent shoes since they can be very uncomfortable. If you already have a pair at home, wearing old, but comfy shoes is much of an advantage over using a new, but stiff one. Just add a little wax to make it more shinny and presentable.
Make sure it is comfortable
See to it that you are at ease with your tuxedo as it rest on your shoulders. The fit should not restrict movement of any kind, either while sitting or standing.
Pick the right fit
To get away with the traditional styles of wedding, instead of letting your friends pay for their suits, you can buy with your own money and offer it as your groomsmen gifts. Make sure that when choosing a garb, the sleeves should extend at least half an inch beyond the jacket. The bottom part of the vest should be a little below your waistline so that it won't look as if you borrowed your younger brother's suit.
Visit bridal shops
Check out shops that are popular and those with many outlets. You can be assured that they have huge quality collections to choose from. They can also tailor it according to your built. However, expect them to be a bit costly because you are paying for their name. If you want it cheaper, go to privately owned wear shops, so that you can have a better deal.
Choose according to affair
Wedding ceremonies can be done at any time and place of the day; an afternoon affair, in the church, or a garden wedding. It is not always recommended to choose a tuxedo to make you look glamorous. See to it that your attire suits the event, so that you will not be out of place. The following are the possible types of groomsmen's attire on different occasions:
* Formal attire
* Semi- formal
* Casual attire
Match color to your motif
It is not necessary to literally match your suit to the color motif. However, choose a shade that perfectly blends with it like dark grey, black, and brown. These are the most common hues worn by groomsmen; however, pick the most suitable shade that would match the theme.
