Wedding… but you don't know what to wear

On the day of the wedding, the man is certainly not the absolute protagonist and I think this is right for two reasons: the first is that the ceremony is structured precisely to bring out the female figure more, starting from entering the Church. The second is instead more tailored, in fact, the wedding dress is much richer in details than that of the groom.

In any case, I can say that the groom with an appropriate suit and with the right accessories can fully share the scene, further enhancing the bride too. The best way is to be as simple as possible, remembering that you are gentlemen who accompany your lady from the altar.

All formal events require a specific dress code. There are not a few rules of bon ton that should condition and constrain the choice of men's wedding dress. Here are some ...

If a wedding takes place before 6pm, tradition calls for a tight. For the less opulent ceremony you can also opt for the half tight or the classic three-piece suit. The tuxedo is considered an evening dress but, with due reinterpretations, it is also perfect for weddings. The tailcoat is not recommended for weddings, it falls into the category of grand gala dresses.
Formal events related to high society are preceded by an invitation which specifies, along with the time and location, also the required clothing.

The morning suit, in English moning suit, is the suit that distinguishes the groom par excellence. It has Anglo-Saxon origins and is the abbreviated form of the English tight coat, that is, tight jacket. It is a type of jacket used by gentlemen during the events that the queen organizes in the various estates and which take place during the day.

The jacket is strictly single-breasted with one button with peak lapels and without pockets, shaped on the shoulders and very screwed on the side thus marking the waist. The back of the jacket features two tails that should hang just below the crease of the knee (but feel free to make it even a little shorter), a deep central slit that culminates at the waist where two buttons are sewn, from which two start gusseted pleats.

It goes well with gray vests or the traditional buff color, a cross between yellow and beige, even if the latest generations prefer colored silks and the inevitable striped trousers of various shades. The use of the morning suit is usually recommended for the formal ceremony that takes place before 18:00 e
when the bride's dress is white, with a train and veil. The groom who loves the classic wears the morning suit in gray, the other colors are contemporary reinterpretations. In general, there is always a predilection for dark colors, although in recent years there has been a strong tendency to be daring with much brighter shades.

Unless the dress code of the ceremony requires it, the morning suit no longer matches with a gray top hat and cane, it is important to remember that if these two accessories are to be used they are not to be kept during the ceremony. The shirt to match the morning suit must be white with cufflinks and a stiff collar. He was born with the plastron but lately also the protocol of the English Royal House, which is the most rigid and inflexible, requires the tie; simple silk with knot according to the habits of the groom.
The bow tie or bow tie is never used. Shoes are always black laced.

As for the guests, the rule dictates that the groom in a morning suit must have all the male guests in a suit, or at least the male witnesses of the groom and bride should wear it. Obviously, traditions are never strict rules so many spouses do not require their guests to adapt to their choice.
