Just rent a tux, no big deal right? Sorry, groom suits are a little more complicated than that. Being the second most important person at the wedding means there are some expectations you have to live up to. If you don’t wear a suit to the office on a regular basis and you’re not up on all the latest men’s fashion trends, there’s a little bit of a learning curve too.
But don’t worry, it’s not all stress. It’s all about choosing the right color and style to match your theme, and the right cut to match your frame. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so it’s a great chance to have a little fun.
