Groom's & Groomsmen Attire - 3 Helpful Tips on Dressing the Groom

My new obsession is groom’s attire.  I’m so obsessed I have a Pinterest Board dedicated to the groom.  The groom and his entourage should mirror the same glamour of the bride and her maids.  This means looking sharp from head to toe and not just being an arm piece but holding their own.  In order to achieve this you should play close attention to these three things:

The Suit The perfect attire starts with the right suit.  Picking the perfect suit begins with knowing the type of wedding you are having. Is it formal? It is Casual? It is a Saturday night blacktie wedding or a Friday night cocktail party or will be saying your vows on a beach? Your suit depends on these circumstances so choose wisely.  If you are not sure which is the right suit, ask a professional when you go to pick out your suit.

Accessories The right accessories are also important.  Don’t be afraid to play with men’s ware accessories for your wedding.  A stylish pocket square, unique socks and a blinged-out tie clip can add that extra special touch you are looking for.  And of course the shoes are everything!! Men love their shoes just as much as we do ladies.

Grooming Now a simple hair cut is usually the norm but you want to make sure this is the best hair cut you ever had.  Your mustache, goatee and beard need to be groomed to perfection.  Don’t forget your skin needs to be flawless as well so start a cleansing regimen months before to ensure you look your best.

Bonus: Don't be afraid of color or to go against tradition.  Everything about your wedding should reflect your personal style and the wedding attire is the perfect place to do it.
