Wedding Fashion Trends, It’s Not Just About the Ladies

 
 
 

No matter the occasion, whether you are going a to the gym or attending a black-tie affair, women’s fashion take center stage. On the other hand, men’s attire gets minimal attention and scrutiny.

In the past, weddings have not been any different. How many times have you heard people ask, or quite truthfully you have personally asked, “What is the bride wearing?” Is she wearing a ballroom gown, a silhouette, strapless, cathedral train, and on and on? However, have you ever asked what the groom is wearing?

This might change!

 
 

More and more, men are stepping up their wedding fashion game. That’s not to say that the black, grey and navy tuxedos are outdated. These are classics that have stood the test of time, but it’s no longer about just grabbing a possibly uncomfortable rental.

Men, today, are introducing colors, patterns and accessories that both look good and make a statement. Besides, it’s his day also.

 
 

As we emerge from the pandemic, fashion runways have shown that cozy, comfy clothes is the preferred way of dressing. This includes the wedding day. Below are some additional wedding day trends for the grooms:

 
 
  • Men are selecting attire that both fits well and is comfortable to wear.

 
 
 
 
  • We are seeing colors this Spring and Summer including lilac, light blue, olive green, and tan.

 
 
 
 
  • Expect to see interesting textures during the Fall such as velvet and tweed.

 
 
  • Say goodbye to the black patent leather rental shoes. Look for brown and even sneakers as the reception progresses.

 
 
 
 
  • Patterned ties that add a pop of color and pocket squares will be accessory musts.

 
 
 

While all of this sounds exciting and much more interesting for our men, of course there are some best practices that should be considered. As always, the groom’s attire should complement the bride’s outfit and be in line with the wedding location and time of day.

So the next wedding you go to (which will probably be some time this year), take a closer look at the groom.  No longer will you only ask, “What is the bride wearing?”
