Groom with a beanie?

I think he should wear whatever he wants to make himself feel comfortable. If you google "Groom hat wedding" and look at images there are lots of different choices!

I think a beanie would work for a very casual wedding but otherwise, it might look a bit odd. Some of the best-looking men out there are bald; he can join them.

I found a few in the link. I want him to feel comfortable and I didn't know if there was any hat etiquette that should be considered.

I just have to say... I instantly thought of this:

Marshall pulled off a hat... I say let your groom wear whatever he's comfortable with! Maybe look into a different style of hat versus a beanie.

I'd check with your venue, if it is formal or religious they may not allow him to wear a hat, but if it'll make him feel confident he could always keep it off for the ceremony and pop it on right after for pics and the reception. And since he is going for a tux which is pretty formal, he could look for other hat styles rather than the beanie. What about a flat cap or a fedora?

I think hats can work for wedding, but maybe not necessarily a beanie (unless it's super casual).

@MrsVoegs17 LMFAO!!!! I miss that show!!

@MBean it doesn't go with the style. He is balding front to back. I haven't talked to the photographer about it, but I'm sure it's extra.

@WWJo It doesn't violate anything venue wise. I looked at a flat cap that would go well with his tux. I'm going to see if he will consider it.

Agree with everyone. You def want him to feel just as comfortable and confident as you want to feel in your wedding dress in front of all those people and for the photographs. Help him pick a hat that will not clash with his suit/your wedding.

A beanie is way too casual for a wedding, I think. I think there are a lot of formal options for a hat you can probably go try on with him.

When I first met FH, he was balding and was super self conscious about it. One day he decided that "you can only put lipstick on a pig for so long" (his words) and asked me to shave his head. He has fully embraced the bald! I hope your FH gets there soon, he feels so much better about it now.

Yeah no. Is he allowed to wear a beanie to work? You can't (or shouldn't) even wear hats in a nice restaurant and he wants to wear one in his wedding?!

I dated someone who shaved his head bald because he'd been balding since his early 20s. He wore a hat 95% of the time in casual environments (pretty much whenever he wasn't at work). He never wore a hat in a nice restaurant and when he got married a few years back I saw his wedding pics and he didn't have a hat on.

The tux may not look good with a beanie but keep looking around for ideas on a different kind of hat he can wear. He should definitely be comfortable.

A hat yes a beanie no.

@Mrs Sullivan To Be I agree with you. One of the groomsmen wanted to wear a matching bandanna and I said no. He's not happy with me. The groomsmen want to wear Vans with their suits but I am not really keen on that idea either.

I think not a beanie.. maybe a hat. A beanie looks informal yet again it is what makes him comfortable.

@beklynn I love that look!!! I'd be more in favor of that than a beanie.

What about a different kind of hat? Beanies are really casual/really do not go with a suit.

@Laura he works construction so he wears one (depending on the weather) under his hard hat.

UO....part of being comfortable is being comfortable with yourself, hair, weight, physical characteristics aside.

Personally, I think it's too casual, and the fact that he's wearing a hat is going to be more of a conversation point than his actual hair or lack there of.

I've had LOTS of grooms with shaved heads; maybe he can think about that if he really doesn't like the way he looks?

@Celia he has shaved before and I loved it. I mean I love his hair either way.

If he is wearing a TUX, then that is definitely not "casual". It is the most formal type of attire. No, he absolutely should not be wearing a beanie with a tux. Nor should he be wearing a beanie at all to his wedding regardless of attire IMO.
