Formalwear – a lot of guys will cringe when they hear they have to get dressed up. Your wedding day sends out a clear signal on your sense of fashion. Keeping is simple is one of the best options. Formalwear has evolved over the years and guys are able to put a more personal stamp on what they wear to their wedding. Whether it is a classic James Bond shawl tuxedo or a crisp navy blue suit, guys have a lot more options then they used to. Whether you decide to rent or purchase the formalwear for the groom, there are things you need to keep in mind. Just remember how much time and energy the bride put into finding that perfect dress. The same applies to the groom.

Find a reputable store. They should have well-trained staff, on-site tailoring, local warehousing and a large selection of formalwear and accessories. Find a sales associate you feel comfortable with. They should understand different body types, fit, trend and your particular needs.

Keep in mind the price of the garments and the reputation of the store. Just because a location has the lowest price doesn’t make it the most qualified for your needs.

Nowadays men can purchase, rent or have a combination of both in their formalwear. You can purchase the perfect tuxedo and rent your accessories to find the best combination of fit, quality and colour for your wedding day.

Some of your options are a one-, two-, or three-button jacket with a notch, peak or shawl lapel. The formalwear store you choose should have a wide selection of all for you to try on. A more formal wedding would require a longer jacket, with a casual wedding going for a shorter one.

Choose a good formal shirt in white, candlelight or ivory, depending on your bride-to-be’s dress. Make sure the collar is solid and will keep it’s shape all day. Your tie should be simple and discreet, pulling together colour element from your vest.

Don’t forget about shoes! You can’t wear your sneakers with your tuxedo or suit. Most formalwear stores rent shoes and your choice should have numerous styles for you to choose from. The patent shoe was specifically designed with the tuxedo in mind, so it finishes the look perfectly.

Whatever you wear, wear it with confidence.
