Types of Wedding Suits

Wedding suit options are abound in both stores and online merchants. In days gone by, a classic tuxedo proved almost the only wedding attire option. The variety of suits runs the gamut from classic, to tailored to a more modern suit. Some men even opt for a casual look with no suit at all.

Tuxedos make up the major wedding suit type. Grooms who wish to venture out and try new wedding fashions have many other options.

Tuxedos

Tuxedos are considered wedding formal wear. While they may be traditional wear, the options have expanded. Tuxedos come with the traditional vest and cummerbund or with only the suit jacket. Choose the correct length. Does short waist length or tailcoat length suit the wedding better? Colors come in different styles. Consider a flat lapel or a velvet collar for a fancy change.

Regular Suit

Elect to wear a regular church style suit for a less formal wedding. Some retailers refer to this style of suit as semi- formal. The suits come with or without vests and include a choice of various shirt designs. A simple tie or no tie at all can finish the look to fit the occasion. Coats come in single or double-breasted and with various button options. Some even men opt for the double-breasted zoot suit, complete with chains and zoot suit accessories.

Casual Suits

A mountain or outdoor wedding calls for a different type of wedding suit. A casual look with merely a shirt and slacks might fit this type of wedding. A simple basic jacket, kept open might be added for a bit of flare. Some couples opt for a beach wedding and forgo the suit altogether for khakis or blue jeans.  Casual wedding shoes should fit the type of outfit to complete the attire.

Do not forget the most important person in the wedding party. Check with the bride to ensure she approves of the choice. Nothing is worse than picking the wrong wedding suit and not finding out until the wedding day.
