Styles of Groomswear
I believe that a suit reflects you and your personality. Are you cool, calm, funky, trendy, short, tall, flamboyant, quiet etc? You probably get my drift.
There does seem to be this illusion that you have to wear this or wear that just because it is a wedding. This isn’t or shouldn’t be the case, but your wedding is a time to dress up, and yes, possibly in something you wouldn’t wear on a daily basis such as tails.
If the store you choose to purchase/hire your groomswear from carry a wide range of sizes, most styles of suit will suit most people if fitted well. A good store will carry most designs in extra short fit sizes up to extra tall, so regardless of your particular frame, most styles should suit you.
Whether you hire or purchase, you have groomswear choices including:
- Tails – with or without top hats
- Tails with matching waistcoat
- Tails with a flashy waistcoat
- Standard suit without a waistcoat
- Standard suit with matching waistcoat
- Standard suit with a subtly patterned waistcoat
- Long Lined (Prince Edward) Suit
- Dinner Suit (Tuxedo)
- Highland Wear
- White Tie and Tails
With this choice and expert fitting you will be dressed to impress on your wedding day.
