Wedding 2016: the modern groom

It's not easy being a bride! We all know that. What about the groom? Everyone thinks that guys have a pretty easy job. Well, that's not true. Anyone who wants to feel great and look great on their wedding day knows that it takes more than just dressing up in the best dress. Even with the groom's suit, it is important to think about its cut, color, size and style. Many grooms thus decide to step away from tuxedos and dress a bit more modern, "hipster", you might say. Ladies of the 21st century, here are modern fashion guidelines to help you choose your wedding outfit.

These are modern grooms:

When you think about what to wear on your wedding day, the first thing you think about is the dress. Of course, dresses also change a lot with fashion, but currently, narrow trousers that end above the ankles are dominant. Some choose a tailor, others rent a dress. Whether you're going to have your dress tailored or buy it, think about cuts that you can wear on other occasions, together or separately.

Gizdalin with a bow tie

Bow ties used to be considered an accessory for more "geeky" grooms, but today they are a fashion hit. You can opt for already properly tied bow ties, bow ties that you just clip on, or you can tie them yourself. There are several styles to choose from, and wooden bow ties also go very well with the shirt.

Gizdalin's shoes

Sports shoes such as Converse, Keds or Toms are becoming more and more popular, and the stylish Chelsea boots are also popular.

Gizdalin with a tie

The possibilities are endless with ties, they can be silk, wool or tweed, you can choose bright colors, tie clips or match the color of the tie with your shirt, jacket or wedding witness. For a more modern, fresh look, we recommend a thinner tie. You won't go wrong with neck scarves or ascots either. You can reach for silk scarves in luxurious tones and with a classic pattern.

Bold gizdalin as a hipster

The modern groom may also choose to wear two separate pieces on his wedding day. The jacket can thus be combined with contrasting trousers. You can go bold or opt for more subtle colors. You don't have to limit yourself to classic pants, you can choose jeans, canvas pants or shorts, and you don't have to limit yourself to classic jackets either - they can be replaced by shirts, vests and cardigans. Taller guys can afford a three-button jacket, while smaller ones should prefer jackets with a deeper V-neck, which will optically lengthen their torso.

Gizdalin with straps

Suspenders are also perfect for modern groomsmen. These give the groom an elegant, handsome look. Even when you ditch the jacket and tie, you'll still be super chic with suspenders.
