Getting Married? How To Stand Out In Your Tuxedo Your wedding day might be considered a big day for the bride, but the groom should stand out as well. Most wedding parties include several grooms men, and making sure the groom looks his best is important, but making sure he stands out from the other groomsmen is perhaps even more so. Try Different Styles There are several ways you can make sure that everyone can tell you’re the groom, including shawl and peaked cut lapels. Traditionally, the shawl cut looks best on men with muscular faces, while the peaked cut works best for those with round faces. A notch cut is the typical cut that is found on a suit jacket, and is considered less formal than the shawl or peaked cut tuxedo jackets. You can also consider tuxedo jackets that have different tails. The tailcoat jacket has long tails, while a traditional tuxedo jacket has none. There are also tuxedo jackets with cutaway tails, and is similar to the tailcoat jacket. A long coat tuxedo jacket is longer than other tuxedo jackets, and fits below the waist all the way around. The tail coat and cutaway tuxedo jackets are very classic looks, and are sure to make the groom look great, without blending in with the other men in tuxedos. The best way to determine who gets which cut is to fit the groom first, then the groomsmen. This will ensure the groom looks his best, and also give you an idea about which cuts to use on the groom versus the groomsmen. Traditionally, the tail coat and cutaway jackets are used for the groom’s tuxedo, with the groomsmen wearing a different cut tuxedo jacket. Accessorize You can also try changing the colors on the grooms vest, either to match the bride or the wedding colors. Many people use this great option to differentiate the groom from the groomsmen, and may even include changing the colors on the flowers in the boutonniere. Many wedding parties choose one type of flower for the groomsmen’s boutonniere, and another for the groom. The groomsmen’s flower should match that of the wedding party, and the grooms’ boutonniere can be a different flower that matches the wedding colors, or a large, single flower that matches his vest and tie. You should also consider matching the groomsmen’s ties and vests with the dresses of the bridesmaids, with the grooms vest and tie in a classic color scheme, such as black, or even matching the bride. While the tie, vest and cummerbund should match, there is no reason the groom can’t, or shouldn’t, wear a different color than his groomsmen. This will make him stand apart from the crowd on his special day. The groom may also use distinctive cufflinks or other accessory to help stand out from the crowd. No matter how you choose to differentiate your groom from the groomsmen, making his appearance special is just as important to him as it is to you.
