Is it okay to tell the groomsmen to byo khakis?

Sarah, on March 10, 2020 at 7:07 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9
I want all the groomsmen to be wearing matching forest green sweaters with a white shirt underneath, a matching green tie, khakis, and brown oxfords. I've found a sweater and tie to have them all order, but would it be okay to let them do their own thing as far as the rest of the ensamble goes? Most of them are starting families, if not involved Ina non-profit, so none of them are exactly made of money right now, but I'd like for them all to look uniform.

Thoughts? Concerns? Opinions?

    I say it's your wedding do what you want but I think it's nice when brides and grooms are fairly lenient on the attire. If the groomer wants them all to match then that is fine but I agree to let them do their own thing. I told my maid of honor that my colors are going to be burgundy and Peach and I asked her which dress color she prefers and she told me and I have to which the house you prefer and I just said okay just find something cute and she'll just show me some idea she has. I feel like she sending her money so I'd rather have her buy something affordable and something else will definitely wear again.

    Yeah I think it’s fine to let them pick their own khakis and shoes. They’ll be coordinated but of course they won’t exactly match. I prefer getting to pick parts of the outfit because you can reuse things you have or pick out something you’ll be able to wear again so it’s more cost effective.

My only concern was if they choose khaki colors that were wildly different but it looked really cool in the pics I found so I say go for it!Is it okay to tell the groomsmen to byo khakis? 1

    It is fine as long as you are okay with a little variation in the color and material of their pants. There are a lot of shades khakis.

    I think it’s fine. Khakis aren’t particularly expensive and most people already own a pair and white collared shirt so they will probably just have to buy the sweater tie and maybe the shoes .

    I would find a pair that they can order so they all match. I would want them to match

    That’s fine ! That’s essentially what I did for mine. Provided their bow ties and suspenders for them but they had their own dress shirt and slacks

    So, they have to provide the white dress shirt and the khakis? That's not such a big deal. Even if they shopped at different places, you can't get more generic than khakis and a white dress shirt. I wouldn't worry about them looking uniform. I think they will, considering they will all be wearing the same sweater and tie. I think you're fine.

    I think that's fair, it's an item they might already own or will definitely use in the future. There's also a lot of options for pricing, I say you're good!
