The Best Man’s Guide To Weddings

It is a high honour to be chosen as the best man. In spite of the dreadful speech, you are in charge of planning the most important farewell a man would ever have, including picking out the outfits to wear and protecting the rings at all costs. Read on for advice from a best man who has seen it all.

 The best man's wedding outfit should meet all expectations. A well-tailored suit should not only look good but also be comfortable to wear whether strolling, standing, seated, and, God forbid, sprinting. Make sure it doesn't pinch somewhere unflattering, especially in the chest or thighs. You wouldn't want your jacket to suddenly unfasten itself, would you? The devil is in the details: although dark colours like navy, black, and grey are always appropriate, the contemporary guy should consider wearing colours like red, green, and blue as well as more daring patterns like checks. A tuxedo or vest may be in order if the wedding is really formal.

Attitude: Shirt And Tie

White shirts are always a safe option for weddings since they are timeless and elegant. It doesn't have to be dull just because of it. Upgrade your wedding outfit with a silk tie or bow tie and other suit accessories, such a tie bar or lapel pin. So, how well do they complement one another? The most flattering silhouette is a narrow fit made of cotton, with a half inch of shirt cuff peeking out from under the Best Man Suit. Do not overlook the importance of cufflinks.

Model Of Shoes

Because it's a wedding, formal footwear is required. Decide on a shade that shows your personality and matches the outfit. Oxford shoes in black or brown are ageless while burgundy shoes will hold their own on the dance floor. Just ensure they’re polished– see our advice on how to care for men’s shoes here. Add some flair to an otherwise basic suit with a pair of brightly coloured socks. If you must risk colour, stick to black and navy.

Best Man Tips

Assuming the groom's wedding suit has been selected, the best man's responsibilities may shift to the cash, the rings, and the address.
