Picking the right suit is a fundamental aspect of being a groom ; the fabric should be chosen so as to accompany you throughout your big day and keep you looking elegant and impeccable.

Here are Reda’s essential suggestions to achieve the perfect look.

1. Type of suit

Choosing the right type of suit is crucial. The most popular style is no doubt the classic morning suit, always guaranteed to make you look like the proper gentleman that you are. There is one essential rule however: while it is indeed the perfect option for a morning or early afternoon wedding, a tuxedo is a must if you are to get married later in the day, be it late afternoon or evening.

Alternatively, you might opt for tails, a truly elegant and refined option for a more formal ceremony. If you expect your male guests to follow suit, do remember to specify the dress code on their invitation. Whatever type you end up choosing, it is highly recommended you go to a tailor of trust for the kind of custom fit that will help you truly stand out.

2. Ceremony style

When picking your suit, you should always keep in mind the style of ceremony you opted for. An outdoor celebration might call for a slightly more casual option while a wedding in full regalia requires for a truly formal and flawless suit. Whatever the ceremony, a coordinated suit in a season-appropriate fabric is always the best option.

3. The importance of accessories

Details truly matter, especially on a day as special as your wedding day. Men truly have a multitude of options to choose from: bow tie or regular tie? Solid or printed shirt? To channel a somewhat retro vibe, you may add a waistcoat and suspenders. A pocket square is another key element that can help you stand out, as are cufflinks. Footwear provides the ultimate finishing touch; black, blue or brown are your best options. Regardless of your accessory choices, the key rule is to keep everything understated and elegant. Always keep in mind that classic hues and refined accessories are key to achieving style and sophistication without ever looking over the top.
