The standard of elegance and style – this is what a man should be at his own wedding ceremony. When choosing a wedding suit for the groom, you need to be guided not only by fashion trends, but also by the features of the figure. In addition, it is important to take into account the general style of the event, the features of the bride's outfit.
Wedding Fashion Trends
For many years, wedding fashion has maintained certain canons that require a man to have a solemn, elegant look. This year was no exception. The classic groom's suit 2020 consists of trousers and a straight or fitted jacket.
Three-piece suits with a vest are also popular. This option looks elegant and makes the groom's image more sophisticated. The currently fashionable combos are popular - three-piece suits with a vest of a different color. For wedding celebrations, vests of white or beige colors are traditionally used.
Another option that wedding fashion offers is boho suits. This model surprisingly remains in the middle between the gloss of bohemia and the simplicity of hippies. A jacket, unlike a vest, is optional. This solution is especially popular for weddings that take place in the hot summer.
Another modern trend is the slim fit groom's suit. Its distinctive feature is the style of the trousers. They sit tightly on the waist and hips, and are loose in the ankle area. The jacket fits the figure quite tightly, so this option is good for fit men with an athletic build.
Wedding tuxedos for the groom and tailcoats have lost their leading positions - such clothes are difficult to cut and not very comfortable. The younger generation is practical and chooses suits that can be used for other events after the celebration.
Choice of cut
For men with a standard figure proportions, it is easy to buy a ready-made classic suit as a complete set. For those whose body type has features or disproportions, it is advisable to order a custom tailoring - such a wedding outfit will be guaranteed to fit perfectly, will hide some figure flaws.
Modern fashion trends allow the use of fabrics of different colors and textures for elements of the groom's wedding suit. Those with non-standard figures can buy them separately - for example, classic wool trousers and a suede jacket.
Blazer
The main principle when choosing a jacket for any suit, including a wedding one, is a precise fit in the shoulders and the correct sleeve length. The shoulder seam should be in its place, go straight, duplicating the line of the shoulders. At the same time, the thing should not press, restrict movement.
Although men's jackets are a rather narrow, conservative segment in the fashion industry, they are influenced by modern trends:
- Single-breasted models are used more often than double-breasted ones. They are universal and fit well on the figure. Their special feature is the ability to hide the emerging belly. Double-breasted ones are worn only when buttoned. This is not the best option for a fun wedding celebration. Classic single-breasted jackets are refreshed today with collars of non-standard shapes, original cutouts, and other design options that are not typical for formal clothing.
- Leather or suede elbow patches are still in fashion. The main requirement is that if the pocket line is colored, it should completely match the color of the patch.
- Contrasting inserts - lapels, turn-ups, pockets - especially from a material of a different texture, refresh and make even the most formal model stylish.
In order for a jacket to not only look stylish, but also to highlight or hide the features of your figure, you should follow several rules when choosing:
- For men taller than average, the best option is a single-breasted model with three buttons. Wide lapels will visually emphasize massive shoulders.
- A jacket with two side slits will add volume to a slim figure.
- Short men look better in single-breasted models with 1-2 buttons. The V-shaped neckline visually lengthens the torso line. The vents also create the illusion of height. But double-breasted models, items with three or more buttons, on the contrary, “eat up” height.
- Single-breasted jackets are the best choice for visually reducing weight and volume.
Very large men will benefit from jackets with vents and narrow, long lapels.
Trousers
The most popular styles of trousers for a wedding:
- Straight classic - with straight legs from the hip to the ankle, high waist. The difference between modern models is a looser cut. Such trousers suit most men, but they are usually chosen by those who gravitate towards a conservative style of clothing.
- Tapered ones are a fashion trend. They are popular among young men with an athletic figure and slender legs.
- Wide - thanks to the loose cut, they allow you to hide some figure flaws.
- With tucks - small fabric folds at the waist in front. They give the model additional volume at the top, and smoothly narrow at the bottom. For overweight men, such trousers add lightness, disguising massive hips.
Some tips for choosing the perfect pants:
- The correct length is until a slight fold forms in the front.
- Tall grooms with slender legs will look good in stylish cropped models.
- Those who are below average height are contraindicated to wear turn-ups. In addition, in this case, trousers are best worn with a jacket.
- The general rule is that the length of trousers is adjusted to the shoes that the groom will wear at the wedding.
Shirt
The groom's shirt should match not only his suit, but also the bride's outfit. Classic and fitted models usually fit well into the wedding dress code. The style of the product is determined primarily by the collar:
- Classic - a turn-down model with sharp corners pointing in different directions. They go well with ties and bow ties.
- Kent - with wide turn-down edges and long pointed ends. The model will suit any classic suit, ties look great with it.
- Shark - with pointed ends, spread apart, almost parallel to the floor. Such a shirt is good for a wedding, as it looks elegant and solemn. A tie for such a collar is tied in a wide knot.
- Tab is a tough, strict tie. An invisible bar with a fastener pulls its edges together, so the tie needs to be narrow.
- The Italian is a salvation for thin, short men, as it visually broadens the shoulders.
- Bow tie - best combined with a bow tie. There are two types. The first is a stand-up collar with pointed ends bent to the sides at an angle of 45 degrees. The second is made of two layers, where the upper one is slightly smaller in size than the lower one.
Shirt cuffs can be ordinary, but models with cufflinks look much more interesting. They should be visible. That is why jacket sleeves are made 1.5-2 cm shorter than shirt sleeves.
Stylish color solutions
The most popular men's wedding suits of 2020 are black, gray and deep blue. However, modern trends allow using many colors, provided that the overall style and harmonious combination of the bride and groom's outfits are maintained. Burgundy, blue-gray and blue-green, beige, yellow and even pink shades are coming into fashion (in combination with gray trousers and a soft pink bride's dress, such an outfit for the groom looks very romantic). You can create a stylish image using any color of the suit:
- Refreshing white is a great "summer" solution, but such an outfit will suit only a tall and slender man. In a white suit, any figure flaws are visible. Blue, cream-colored shirts look advantageous with it, but the best option is a white shirt with a dark or bright tie.
- A black suit is a win-win choice for men of any age and build. A groom in a black jacket and white shirt looks especially formal. A bow tie and tie will go with this outfit. If a men's tuxedo is chosen, then it should also be black.
- A man in a blue suit looks elegant not only in a white shirt, but also in a cream or light blue one.
- Gray shades are another classic option. A universal color that suits any type of appearance. A red, purple, violet tie will become a bright accent in the groom's image. A white shirt is preferable.
- Checkered wedding suits are the choice of original natures. In order not to overload the image, stylists recommend wearing a plain light shirt.
Sewing materials
Modern youth choose wedding dresses not only from the point of view of aesthetics. For many, practicality is important. It is convenient if the wedding suit serves the groom for a long time after the celebration. For the cold season, wool is an ideal option, while cotton and silk are the summer choice. Linen men's wedding suits are pleasant to the body, but they quickly wrinkle and lose their presentable appearance. You should not choose shiny artificial materials either. Spending the whole day in them will be tiring. In addition, such fabrics can ruin wedding photos and videos, leaving glare.
The optimal choice of material for a wedding shirt is cotton with the addition of lycra and polyester. The best options are twill, oxford, jacquard. They go well with suit fabrics, look presentable and do not cause discomfort. For those who prefer original images, pinpoint and poplin are suitable.
Shoes and accessories
The algorithm for choosing accessories is as follows: first, the theme of the wedding is determined, then a men's suit is chosen for it, and then the necessary accessories are selected for it:
- Tie, bow tie, bow or scarf.
- Cufflinks, tie clip - in the same style.
- A quality belt that matches the shoes and has a plain, discreet buckle.
- A boutonniere is placed on the left lapel of a jacket, where a special buttonhole is provided.
Shoes are chosen to match the suit. Black lace-up half-boots or closed shoes are a universal option for a dark groom's outfit, and beige ones are a good choice for a light one. It is also important to choose the right socks. They should be one-color, in the same tone as the suit, but can be lighter than the shoes.
