Has Your Groom Wore Suits Before?

Some grooms look so sharp, while others don’t.

Multiple things could be wrong:

• Dress shirt becomes untucked (or was never fully tucked in to begin with)

• Jacket, pants or shit is too big

• Tie is too loose (not tied properly)

• Tie or suit is out of fashion (chosen because it was on sale at Men’s Warehouse)

Ask yourself. Has my fiancé ever worn a suit before? In the past, men wore suits all the time. But if your wedding day is the first time he dons a tie, consider getting in some practice beforehand.

Have him try a few different suit styles so he’s comfortable in a slim-fit or tailored suit. Shop around to find a tie that’s newer looking than paisley. If you go, start dressing up for church during your engagement, or dress up for some fancy dates.

Dressing well takes time to learn what’s fashionable and find nice pieces that fit well. Don’t assume one visit to the college kid working at David’s Bridal will be enough. Spend time on this during your engagement.
