What is your fh [and his groomsmen] wearing?

Emma, on September 11, 2019 at 3:12 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 18

I've been going back and forth between a suit and jacket or something more casual like a vest. My concern is that he is skinny. He was a groomsman for a friends wedding and honestly looked a little silly in his suit (mostly the jacket). I know that we would probably buy whatever we chose so that it can be tailored. But also part of me likes the more casual look of just the vest, and I know he'd probably be more comfortable anyway.


We're going to check out Men's Warehouse (and probably the mall as well) this weekend and I'm just trying to get some idea.


Thanks!

    Men's Warehouse. He's getting a custom suit for free with 7 suit rentals (6 Groomsmen and 1 Brother). Ask if they have this promo still going on, not sure if it's a standard offer.

    I would leave that decision up to him.

    Funnily enough he's had input with a lot of the planning but this is something that he's more laid back about.

    We went more casual. Groom wore a suit while the groomsmen wore suspenders with a dress shirt

    I would wait until you go shopping and see how he feels. It is his outfit, after all. Also depends on the formality you’re going for with your dress, the venue, etc.

    That’s what we’re doing. That way he stands out but it’s still kinda casual.

    We rented from Gentux. We had the worst experience with Al's Formal Wear, and past weddings made Men's Warehouse awful. Gentux is an online rental service, they offer slim fit and classic fit. We had 10 groomsmen of all sizes and all their suits fit really nice.

    I mostly left the decision up to my husband. The groomsmen wore just vests, and I my hubby the option to do either that or wear a suit jacket as well. Ultimately he decided to go with just a vest, to be comfortable outdoors during our event, which he LOVED!! The look of just vests definitely fit with our overall outdoors/minimalist vibe!!

    Our guys are going to wear jeans and vest with a long sleeve shirt and tie with boots. Our guys are very country and would just look awkward and also feel uncomfortable in a full suit and tie. We are also getting married outside in Texas so it is ALWAYS hot here

    I want my FH and groomsmen to be more relaxed but still looking good for the occasion. The men will be wearing dress shirts, slacks and ties. No jackets. My FH will be wearing a burgundy shirt with black tie and black slacks. The groomsmen are wearing black shirts and pants with burgundy ties.

    Custom. Suite. Seriously, this is a wonderful investment. My FH was not big into suites, until he got one made just for him. When he put it on his entire confidence and demeanor changed. Bonus, he then had a suite to wear to events as needed. My brother in law has worn the suite from his wedding to every wedding, funeral, and big function since! It’s worth it to not skimp out! We go through so many details to be sure everything looks good- it’s important to put the same effort into the groom!

    Edit: I have been working on a contract for a suite and my phone auto corrected suit to suite every time. Please forgive!

    Mine is very skinny too. They make slim fitting suits now and also skinny fit suit trousers. He just attended a wedding and bought his trousers from Express and a jacket at Nordstrom's from Top Man. I think the loose fit is just the "traditional fit" but there are lots of options these days

    My FH decided he’s going with a silver grey vest and matching suit pant. We’re having a micro wedding on a party boat, relatively casual, no groomsmen but he decided he wants to dress up for the occasion too. I’m all for it, and can’t wait!

    My FH is wearing jeans and a button down shirt. We don’t have a bridal party but my two teenage sons will be seating guests. They are wearing jeans and a similar but different button down shirt. Our wedding is outside, very casual and redneck...just the way we want it! 😍😝
