Looks We Love: For the Groom

When talk of a wedding starts to circulate, one of the first points of business is the fashion. Wedding gowns and bridesmaids' dresses can consume conversation for hours (even weeks!), but don't forget about your man! Bring him into the style chat because there are so many different options for the groom, and he probably has some thoughts of his own. Venture outside the traditional-black-tuxedo box and think about some of these trends that are hot in 2013!

1. Tan

We love, love, loveeee the tan that's been popping up in weddings left and right. It's a classic look that is perfect for summer (especially for outdoor weddings). The tan suit is great for you preps out there, but works great with woodsy, rustic themes as well.

2. Patterns & Prints

Prints for the groom can be most easily incorporated through their ties, but you can really do this any way you'd like. Shirts, jackets, and even pants can add that little touch that speaks to his personality, as well as the overall design scheme of your wedding.

3. Grey

Just like with tan, we've been seeing more and more grey on the guys and we aren't complaining! Classic and sharp, this look is transitional from season to season and gives a sense of laid-back formality. Go for a clean cut or try the tweed. We love them all!

4. Bow Ties

Bow ties. What's not to love? Classic black, bright hues, floral designs, wacky patterns – So. Many. Options! These provide such a clean look that can go with any style, occasion and wedding theme. But go with the real deal, fellas. No clip on ties for your big day!

5. Waist Coats

Ditch the jacket this summer. Opt instead for a lighter waist coat and look dapper while doing so. I can't get enough of this look. If the feel of your wedding is more relaxed and outdoorsy, this style works perfectly while still looking polished and appropriate.
