Your Look Should Fit The Level Of Formality

First of all, define the level of formality of your wedding: if it’s a daytime wedding, you may wear something more casual, if it’s an evening wedding, prefer a tux or a dark-colored suit. If you need something even more formal, wear a black tailcoat, white shirt and white bow tie for an ultimate formal look, which is a great idea for a luxurious wedding.

The Fit Should Be Perfect

Even the most expensive suit or tux will be awful if it doesn’t fit perfectly. You should be able to move around easily—do lots of twists, turns and arm raises to make sure there’s plenty of mobility to show off your dancing skills. Pants should fit comfortably when standing and sitting and break across the top of the shoes so they cover the top one-third. The jacket sleeve hem should fall at the wrist bone with about one-fourth to one half inch of the shirt cuff showing below. The bottom hem of the jacket should cover the butt and the vent shouldn’t pull open. The collar should lay flat on the back and sides of the neck without any gaps or bulges.

Your Accessories Should Fit You Apart

If your groomsmen are wearing similar or the same attire, this point is especially important. Spice things up and wear a special boutonniere or a bow tie, vest, necktie, cummerbund or cuff links in a different color or style. If your wedding palette has two colors, you can wear one of the shades while the rest of the guys wear the other. Spruce up your wedding look with some touches of the wedding theme: if it’s a Star Wars wedding, wear cufflinks with storm troopers, if it’s a travel-themed wedding, add a little globe to your boutonniere. Be creative!
