Men's wedding suits
Features and Benefits

Therefore, it is very important to choose the right suit that would fit perfectly on the figure. It can be bought, sewn to order or rented - it all depends on your desire and financial capabilities.

Fashionable styles and models
Every year, designers offer different styles and color combinations of wedding suits for men. The traditional black suit is not at the peak of popularity this season, but is still considered a classic wedding fashion. Current models are brown, white, silver, blue, gray and purple.
Types of wedding suits differ, first of all, in the cut of jackets. Among them are tuxedos, tailcoats, frock coats, a three-piece suit, a classic suit or a business card suit.
The tuxedo is characterized by an elongated single-breasted or double-breasted jacket with satin or silk ribbed lapels. The shirt is worn with a stand-up collar. Trousers with straight-cut stripes are worn either with suspenders that are hidden behind the vest, or with a sash belt.
A black tuxedo is the most traditional, less often a dark blue fabric is used for tailoring. However, if the celebration takes place in the summer, then it would be appropriate to dress in a white tuxedo.

The classic wedding suit includes a jacket and trousers of various colors and styles. It is more practical than a tuxedo, since it is appropriate to wear it after the celebration to work, business meetings and official events.
The business card suit features a rounded-back blazer with a single-button front that was popular in the 19th century as casual wear. It looks very solemn and is well suited for a themed wedding ceremony.
Another costume for special occasions is a tailcoat. His jacket is short in front and elongated in the back in the form of narrow tails. The trousers are quite narrow and are equipped with double silk stripes on the sides. It is worn with a white shirt, white vest and white bow tie.
Also this season, wedding suits in retro style are very popular.

materials
As a rule, if the wedding takes place in the cold season, then the suit is chosen from wool. It looks great and keeps you warm.
If the wedding is scheduled for summer, mid-spring or early autumn, then you can pay attention to fabrics such as linen, cotton or silk. However, make sure that such a fabric contains a certain percentage of elastane - without it, the fabric will wrinkle very quickly and not look its best.
How to choose
A wedding suit should not only emphasize all the advantages of a man's appearance, but also hide all figure flaws, if any. Therefore, the choice of a suit must be approached, taking into account all the features of the physique of the groom. For example, for tall, slender men, it is better to pay attention to a double-breasted jacket and straight-cut trousers, but it is also possible to choose a fitted jacket model.
Low, on the contrary, you need to choose slightly tapered trousers and a single-breasted cropped jacket, it is also possible to choose a fitted jacket model.
For men with a full build, solid dark-colored suits, or dark suits with pinstripes, are suitable. On trousers, the presence of arrows is important, and the jacket should be chosen in a classic cut. Fitted models must be categorically excluded.
For thin men, you can choose a single-breasted straight jacket and slightly tapered trousers, and also prefer a bow tie instead of a tie.
And if you have too broad shoulders, choose a single-breasted jacket with patch pockets and skinny trousers.
You can choose a shirt based on the color of the eyes of a man. For example, men with blue eyes wear shirts in blue, light blue, azure, blue-gray or gray. Men with brown eyes can choose beige or brown shirts.
What to wear
In addition to the suit, it is necessary to carefully choose a shirt that would match the suit in color and at the same time fit perfectly on the figure. Depending on the cut, shirts are fitted and loose. And if you are a little overweight, it is better to choose a loose shirt.
The ideal length of shirt sleeves should reach the knuckle of the thumb on the hand and not expose the wrist when the arm is bent.
When the shirt collar is fully buttoned, 1-2 fingers should fit between the neck and the collar.
The cuffs of the shirt should look out from under the sleeves of the jacket by about 1.5 cm. They can be either button-down or zippered. For a wedding suit, it is preferable to choose a shirt with cufflinks, which, by the way, can be made in a style close to the bride's jewelry.
Shirts can be made from elastane and polyester, cotton fabric with a small amount of elastane, cotton fabric without synthetics, linen or natural silk.
If a matte fabric suit is chosen, it is appropriate to choose a satin fabric shirt, and vice versa - satin suits in combination with a matte fabric shirt will look more interesting.
Choosing shoes and accessories
Shoes are an important finishing touch to the wedding attire, they should ideally match the suit in color and style. The simplest rule to follow is to choose dark-colored shoes for a dark suit, and light-colored shoes for a light one. The same goes for socks.
Accessories deserve special attention. Among them are a boutonniere, which should be combined with the bride's wedding bouquet, a tie or bow tie, which echo the color of the bride's outfit, suspenders, cufflinks and a tie pin. It is the details, chosen carefully and with taste, that can make the image more sophisticated.
It is appropriate to wear a tuxedo with a black bow tie. Stylists are inclined to believe that it is better to combine a white bow tie with a tailcoat, but there are exceptions to all the rules.
In some wedding suits, instead of a tie or bow tie, there is a neckerchief. The same rule applies to him - he must be in harmony with the bride's dress or fit in style.
You can complement a fashionable wedding look with a scarf in your breast pocket, although some grooms do not want to overload it and prefer one thing - either a boutonniere or a scarf.
What is the price
The cost of a wedding suit, excluding shirts, ties, shoes and other accessories, starts from 10 thousand rubles and depends on the fabric from which the suit is sewn and the designer or fashion house that made this suit.
If we are talking about tailoring a suit to order, then in an atelier the cost of tailoring can start from 30 thousand rubles and depend on the chosen fabric, the style of the wedding suit, and sometimes the speed of tailoring.
