Groom's suit
Once the date has been set, it is time to get everything surrounding the wedding in order. For a bride, this is also when the search begins for her beautiful, perfect wedding dress. A groom, in turn, focuses on finding a suitable wedding suit, in other words a groom's suit. For some, this search goes more smoothly than for other grooms. Are you having some difficulty? GENTS is happy to give you advice so that you can make your choice more easily.
Theme & Etiquette
If you have chosen a particular theme for the wedding, selecting a wedding suit becomes a little easier. You simply adapt your choice to it. By attaching a theme or dress code to the reception and the party, you also give your guests a better idea of what is expected of them. After all, finding an outfit for a wedding can sometimes be a challenge for guests too. For example: for the evening reception, you have put "black tie dress code" on the invitation. With this dress code, you indicate that you expect guests to arrive in a tuxedo. Naturally, as the groom you then also wear a stylish tuxedo complete with accessories to steal the show. Please note: a tuxedo is worn only in the evening, so for the daytime you will need to wear a different wedding suit.
Wedding suit: classic or modern
Another way to find your perfect groom's suit is to look at trends and styles. The morning coat has been rediscovered as a men's wedding outfit. The morning coat, part of the morning suit, is a fairly classic formal outfit. It instantly adds something special to your big day. Is such a classic wedding suit not quite your style? Are you and your bride (or groom) going for a modern wedding? Then GENTS is also the right address for you. You will find all kinds of modern, distinctive wedding suits with us. Think of a wedding suit in blue, black or grey. A cobalt blue wedding suit or a petrol-coloured wedding suit can be very tasteful for your modern wedding.
Outfit for attending a wedding
Are you not the groom? Are you looking for an outfit for the wedding as a best man, father of the bride or guest, and do you prefer a tasteful and affordable wedding suit? GENTS has thought of you too! We are known for offering the best value for money on our suits, in other words our suits. As a result, you can quickly put together a stylish wedding outfit as a man at an affordable price. A tip from GENTS: if you are not the leading man on this special day, keep your wedding suit subtle and in line with the dress code, if one has been specified.
Complete wedding suit for groom or guest
To put the finishing touch on your wedding outfit, you naturally need to think about accessories too. We recommend matching the accessories to the bridal bouquet, the dress (or the other suit) or the theme of the wedding. Have you, for example, chosen a morning coat (morning suit) as your wedding outfit? Then a silver-grey tie goes with it, and with your pocket square you pick up the colour of the bridal bouquet. GENTS has beautiful silk ties in every colour. We also recommend taking a moment to consider the following accessories for your wedding suit:
- Braces (optional)
- Cufflinks
- Pocket square
- Socks
- Shoes
If you are a guest at a wedding, accessories matter too. These small details can elevate an outfit to a higher level or completely undermine it. So take a moment to check whether your wedding outfit is truly perfect or could still use something extra.
