02:09 Morning Wear
Basically, it consists of a black or charcoal morning coat with a peak lapel or notched lapels then you have a black and white striped trousers which are also called cashmere trousers because there used to be some cashmere in them. Then you have a waistcoat which is either single-breasted or double-breasted, usually in a gray that's slightly contrasting or a buff color or you can go with other colors such as light blue depending on your choice and then you have a white shirt, traditionally, it had the detachable collar.
04:47 Evening Wear
Now if you have an evening wedding or if you want to change, you get a white tie tailcoat ensemble. It's likewise a tailcoat but it's cut differently than a morning coat, it's all black, your pants have a double striped galon down the side. You wear a white stiff collared shirt with detachable collar, you wear a Marcella waistcoat and then a bow tie.
06:48 Tuxedo
Basically, you want a black bow tie, you want a tuxedo that's silk faced with shawl collar, you don't want anything that's rented. You want wool because that way, you sweat less and you look better and you feel more comfortable. It really shows in your wedding pictures.
09:02 Regular Suit
The big advantage of going with a suit for your wedding day is that you can reuse it at the office or for other events so if you don't have black tie events to go to outside of your wedding, that may be a wiser investment.
11:31 Blazer Combination
If a suit seems too formal to you, I suggest to take it a notch down, maybe wear a blazer combination, maybe with a pair of chinos but something that's still dressier.
12:31 Groom Do's & Don'ts
- First of all, sneakers or jeans are not something that make you look good so skip those.
- The biggest mistake that I've seen in a wedding was when the groom showed up ungroomed
- Do not rent your Tux

Back in the 90's, such as my parents wedding, it was custom to wear Tuxedos as the groom or guest. Now both guests and grooms just wear their regular Sunday suits. So, when I get married, I'm bringing the groom tux back and wearing one when I get married. I don't even care if everyone else wears suits because it would make me look more dapper in comparison lol.

I'm very glad he used the word "dapper" instead of "snazzy." I had a few moments this month that required me to dress up, and each time, everyone said I looked "snazzy." If I hear that word one more time this month, I'll flip my lid.

Currently, I am planning on a light grey or beige summer suit (so unstructured and breathable materials). I'm still very undecided on shoes but feel I should be going with black oxfords without any brogueing. Thanks for your informative series. I adore your detail.

I'm getting married soon and have been shopping for a black tux. I wanted something a little bit different with its own flare instead of the usual setup. I found a black velvet tux (coat with matching pants) with a shawl collar. I planned on pairing it with a white shirt with french cuffs and a black tie that matched the sheen of the shawl collar. I haven't decided on the shoes yet but I was thinking about a dandelion flat type of shoe. Probably something with a reflective polish or a suede/velvet look to complete the tux. The problem is I seen you refer to velvet jackets in one of your videos as a dinner jacket. I'm wondering if this is still true if there are matching pants to go with the jacket and how its dressed up? Or if its changed in modern style? Or am I possibly making a big mistaken? I don't have a waist belt (vest) or cummerbund to go with the look but I can think about adding one.

Great video as always! I am getting married in a little over a month, so perfect timing :) You emphasise that the boutonniere should go through the buttonhole, but none of my shawl lapel jackets have one, so I would have to pin it, right? Btw. I will be wearing an ivory double-breasted dinner jacket without a waistcoat or cummerbund to stay cool, rest will be classic black tie.

This might be a bit late as a comment, but it may be worth talking about some of the "formal" outfits that a lot of rental places are offering, which aren't really formal. This may not be an issue in the US where the tux rules the roost, but in the UK an awful lot of places will also offer Nehru jackets and various types of frock coat, claiming that they are legitimate variations of morning dress.Whilst I have no issue with people choosing these options if they really want to (it's their wedding after all), it is potentially a problem if people think they are elevating the formality of their wedding even further than normal by choosing a frock coat instead of a morning/cutaway coat. They would essentially be wearing historical costume instead of formal wear - fine if they want that, not fine if they think they are wearing formal wear.

I’m sorry but I cannot get my head around wearing black tie during the day. Here in England we sometimes find foreign members of the Diplomatic Corps wearing white tie at eleven o’clock in the morning. To my eye it looks just wrong. At my school the uniform was short black jackets with striped trousers, such as you describe. We referred to the trousers as ‘sponge bags’ because they were made of the same water resistant material; often abbreviated to ‘bags’.

I really like your videos. You appear to have the most creative style. I, however, am confused about the fitting of your pants, because I only see this in old people's wear. KZfaq style gurus rant against it. I used to buy my son pants like this, and people would say he looked like grandpa. I don't know if this had to do with the fit indeed, or with the fact that he was just a kid. What I want to know is if your fitting style is outdated, or if this is an acceptable manner of dressing also.

Instead of having the collar be off-white like the tux. I'll also have a navy blue velvet vest, and blue pants.

Planning a formal wedding. I am the groom and planning to wear a Tuxedo; however, I am torn between wearing a black tux the whole time or swapping jackets from an off white during the day ceremony and once the sun starts coming down swap it with a full black tux. For context the wedding starts at 5:00 pm and the sun doesn't go down until 8:45 pm, it's an early June wedding in Italy... The wedding will also be in an outdoor setting. Would love to hear your thoughts/feedback. Thanks!

@niklaskorth7645 Жыл бұрын

Hi, first off, congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I think that the notion „what feels right is right“ is best on your wedding day. Despite that wearing black tie an hour before six is also completely appropriate since it makes no sense to change your complete set of clothes after just one hour into the reception. Therefore, it would be great to wear your dinner jacket during this. I just have one idea/ suggestion. Maybe it would be an option for you to change into a smoking jacket as the evening progresses. These were designed to keep the smoke of your regular evening wear, thus, making it a more practical or casual. The classic design with a toggle front enhances this relaxed look. This special garment could be a great choice if you want to change into something more relaxed as the evening goes on. Nevertheless, wearing the full-on black tie suit is a completely appropriate and sophisticated choice. I hope that this was in any way useful and I wish you all the luck with your wedding.
