• Groom & Groomsmen Style

Whether you're the groom, best man, groomsmen or just a guest - deciding on your attire is always a feat. Should you wear a fancy tuxedo, go business casual or simply wear jeans? More than likely you're not going to wear jeans, but we have seen groomsmen in denim and it was done well. So, never say never. 

To ensure you're well informed on what a guy should wear to a wedding, we pulled together a few easy tricks and rounded up a few great looks to guarantee you look sharp.

As you can see The Risky Jackal looks dapper in his spring time floral ensemble from BAR III! Well... the question is how would John Philp of The Risky Jackal know to wear this smart look to a garden wedding? He probably reviewed the wedding invitation and took note of a few subtle hints.

Hint #1 - Take note of the time of the wedding. 

If the wedding is anytime after 4pm then it is semi-formal. Which means nice suit, tie and dress shoes. If a wedding is black tie than it should state on the invite, but if it doesn't t you can take clues from the invite. If it is extra fancy then all signs are you telling to bust out the tuxedo.

Hint #2  -  Your second hint is the location of a wedding. 

If the wedding looks like the one below from Minted and is held in the springtime, then a fun floral look is more than acceptable. If the wedding is held in a ballroom then we would opt for a darker suit like this extra-slim fit stretch wrinkle-resistant charcoal suit.

Hint #3 - Google the venue.

Let's say the venue is at The Hart House in downtown Seattle. An innovative space evoking feelings at the heart of great food and wine and the importance of the people you share this experience with.

That tells us that a stylish suit like the one above and below would be a perfect match for this food centric wedding. Elegant Ikat wedding invitation from Minted.

Pay close attention to our next invite. The wedding is at one o'clock in the afternoon. Automatically you're thinking super casual, since it is in the afternoon. However, check out the location on this watercolor floral invite. Their wedding is held at The Four Seasons which is known for redefining luxury. This means you need to look good and wear a stylish suit.
