Suits-The modern man's uniform for looking hip and handsome
Sleek suits are hugely popular wedding options
for modern grooms and their wedding parties,
for very good reason. They give you the ability
to rock a classic look while still having a some
fun with your personal style. With their
popularity on the rise, many formal and casual
suits can now be rented from tuxedo rental
shops. However, we think every man should
have a well tailored suit in his closet and there’s
no better time to invest in one that you can wear
for years to come.
Formal Suits:
It’s all about the fit. If you feel uncomfortable in a suit that’s too big or too small, you’ll be distracted by it all night, and your guests are sure to notice.
Black and dark gray are the most formal colors for suits and are the most versatile for future use.
Stick with black, gray, silver, white or very lightly patterned ties for a dressy and elegant look.
Modern suit jackets are most often single breasted, and can have two or three buttons. Two button jackets have a long vertical shape and three button jackets have a broader, boxier shape.
Hearing numbers like Super 110, 120, or 150? These are the classifications of wool that suits are made from. Usually, the higher the number, the finer and softer the wool will be.
With a well-fitting suit, your shirt sleeves should extend about a ½ inch beyond your jacket cuff and your shirt collar about a ½ inch above your jacket collar.
Casual Suits:
Navy, tan and light gray wool suits look sharp but casually carefree.
Light-colored linen, poplin, and seersucker suits are cool, comfortable, and casual during warm summertime weddings.
Try a bright colored or patterned tie that matches your wedding color palette to loosen things up a bit, or forego the tie entirely for a look of modern ease.
Like the look of layers? Wear a suit with a shirt, tie, and sweater vest underneath, or buy an authentic three-piece vintage suit.
Mixing and matching patterns can be done and done well. Experiment with creative combinations of the patterns in your suit, shirt, tie and pocket square fabrics.
To make any suit more modern, opt for flat-front trousers and a nicely tailored, slim-fitting jacket.
