How to choose your outfit for the big day (groom edition)

Choosing a wedding suit isn't easy, and choosing your own wedding suit is even harder. It must match both the groom's personality and the theme of the ceremony, both in terms of color and overall appearance. So how do you choose the right suit for the big day?

The best suit for the groom's big day

The date of the big day has been decided, but you're unsure how to choose your wedding suit. There's no one-size-fits-all answer: the right suit is one that you'll feel comfortable in, one that complements the wedding theme and your loved one's dress, as well as your personality. So, consider colors and patterns based on the desired ambiance for your ceremony and reception.

Choosing your wedding suit according to the season

The fabric chosen for the groom's suit will depend on the season in which the wedding will take place. If it's summer, choose a lightweight, thermoregulating, and breathable fiber, such as linen, fine wool, or a wool blend. If you're celebrating your wedding in winter, then opt for a thicker wool or flannel.

Suit or tuxedo: matching your wedding outfit to the ceremony

The outfit worn at your wedding can range from a very chic tuxedo to a less formal but equally elegant formal suit , whether it's a 2-piece or 3-piece set with a waistcoat. A casual suit can also be considered, for example if your wedding is less traditional, and feature colors or patterns. At Anthony Garçon, you'll find something for all tastes and colors in our selection of spring/summer wedding suits.

A wedding suit that suits you

Choosing your wedding suit shouldn't be a chore; it should be a special moment where you choose a chic ensemble for the most beautiful day of your life. This suit can be worn only once, or it can be reused for future events if the style is understated. The important thing is that it matches your personality and your wedding.

How to choose accessories for your groom's suit?

By opting for a traditional suit, it is possible to reclaim the outfit with accessories that reflect your personality. The tie is a must-have: in blue, plum, or green, woven or knitted... It can be original without breaking the look. More distinguished, the bow tie always makes an impact, especially to complete a tuxedo or a suit ensemble. But the final touch of the groom's suit is the pocket square : plain or patterned, it adds an extra touch of sophistication and fantasy. Of course, cufflinks , the belt , and the shoes are not to be overlooked.

A well-fitted cut for the big day

Choosing the right wedding suit also depends on the cut: it must be in accordance with your body shape . For example, a double-breasted cut structures the silhouette. It suits slender people better, but its fit is considered universal. For tall or strong grooms, a straight, classic cut is preferable, while a short, fitted cut will stretch the silhouette of slimmer and shorter grooms.
