Stylish Grooms Say “I Do” To A Second Outfit
Gone are the days that grooms just stand idly by while the bride takes all the limelight on their wedding day. And since we always keep it real around here, we’re super excited to see grooms getting more involved in the planning of their special day. From the venue to the colors, and now even the fashion we’re totally digging this trend –stylish grooms change outfits.
So, for all you grooms out there with style and swagger, we say hell, it’s your day too. And since it’s also your time to shine, let’s break out your stylish side and say “I Do” to a second outfit for you!
Sure, it’s long been known that brides love to change into a second outfit on her wedding day but has anyone thought about the groom?
Sure, the bride may be in quite a bit of makeup, a lot of hair spray, and a veil with jewelry but that doesn’t mean the wedding events and festivities are any easier on the groom. They deserve to be comfortable too especially to enjoy the day with their significant other in an outfit other than a stiff tux or black suit.
Stylish Grooms Change Outfits
While a second outfit for the groom may be a good choice in terms of comfort with softer, lighter fabrics it is also remarkably trendy now. If a groom cares about fashion and making a statement, you can count on the fact that he will have a second outfit to dance the night away. Not to mention even wedding tux and suit rental companies have realized this trend and are looking to cash in on the possibilities.
Mix It Up
A wedding is often touted as an overly formal affair in which everyone must be prim and proper but it also needs to reflect the style and personality of the couple and be a fun event to remember. For that reason, a groom’s second outfit is really when his fun, playful side comes out.
While most grooms prefer a classic cut tux in basic, neutral colors for their main outfit, in the second outfit they can use colors like red, purple, and even orange. Not to mention they can accessorize with patterned shirts, ditching the tuxedo jacket for a stylish blazer, different color belts, lapel pins, colorful and textured pocket squares, funky cufflinks, or really informal and comfy shoes. The sky is the limit in terms of experimentation.
Different Times Different Themes
Many couples are choosing to have a somewhat formal and traditional ceremony and a more themed and exciting reception (a kind of ‘have your cake and eat it too’ situation). This means that the second outfit can be totally out-of-the-box crazy if need be! Many couples are roped into doing more traditional ceremonies at the church but may want to do the reception in their own. Or maybe with a particular theme and inspiration like The Great Gatsby, Victorian novel characters, or even Lord of the Rings.
Variety For The Photo Shoot
Photos are a huge part of any wedding, especially in the social media/Instagram age. Your photographer, friends and family are probably planning to take a hundred photos but who wants to have the same outfit in a bazillion stills and short videos? For grooms especially, a second outfit offers some extra eye candy and dazzle for the memorable wedding photoshoot.
Cocktails And Cake
A Groom’s second outfit is a great way to signal a change in the festivities. It can be cocktail hour, a dance party extravaganza, or time to signal in the cake and cut it. A second outfit announces something new is about to happen so gather around!
There is no doubt that millennials are all about doing things their way. And yes! That is trickling into wedding fashion. Style-conscious grooms are on the rise and we LOVE it! Embrace your inner fashion diva and pull out all the stops for your second wedding outfit. After all, it’s your day too. Don’t let the Mrs. have all the fun.
