Wedding planning can be a bit girl-centric, wouldn’t you agree? It’s not uncommon for a gal to spend (literally) months figuring out what dress to wear, how she’ll do her hair, and of couse, the all-important shoe odyssey. But what of the guys? Seems like these days, the guy tends to go one of two ways. Some guys use the occasion to finally buy themselves a brilliant suit. And shouldn’t every guy out there have one fantastically tailored, expensive suit that highlights his winning attributes?
The other route: the dreaded “tux” rental.
It’s worth the time for your guy to make himself familiar with his options if he’s renting. Maybe he doesn’t want to waste a ton of time at the shop learning about various suits, so here’s an idea. Men’s Wearhouse has a tuxedo section of their website that has really clean and simple photos of the different kinds of formal wear options a guy might consider. Whatever store you decide to rent from, he’ll have a bit of a head start knowing what kind of formal suit he’s interested in. By any name, Tuxedo, Cutaway, Morning Coat, Tails: he’ll know it when he sees it.
On the subject of men’s formal options, I’ve noticed several recent grooms who looked super handsome in classic white-on-white. Besides looking perfectly elegant for any time of day, if the guy gets warm and removes his coat, he still looks “formal”. (And not like one of the waiters). Check it out!
