Click here for a comprehensive written guide about Groom's Attire:

SHOP THE VIDEO:

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.

Raphael, you seemed so upbeat sharing about your own wedding experience(s)...it made me smile. Thank you for sharing your insight; I have always enjoyed your approach throughout the years of this channel.

[Benjaminiatures]

Raphael, you've mentioned vintage shopping a lot in your videos. Is there any chance you could do vlog style video where you take us along to a thrift store to find a good quality vintage suit for a low price?

[wcgold]

Each video you make is pure excellence.

I’m getting married, and am doing an evening wardrobe change into my set of 1920’s Saville Row tails. Found them for $300 in a retro shop 10 years ago, and the fit perfectly… I’m FINALLY a getting the chance to wear them after all this time!

In Greece the groom wears a black suit with maybe a flower on the lapel. On my wedding I'll rock a double breasted tuxedo or an ivory jacket

I strongly believe universities and schools around the globe should hire you so they can benefit from your extensive overwhelming knowledge lecturing about classic Men's style to their students and faculty staff.

Vintage dress code for a wedding for life!

Please cover beach weddings a bit more. I am having my reception in May on a beach in Mexico in the early evening. I would love to hear your advice. 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.

FYI: I will be looking for suit pants with side adjusters to remove the need for a belt.

Me: hold my casual wear

[BBoYSHaDoE]

Can you please do a video guide about brace/suspenders? I am sure a groom would like to use it when wearing a three piece suit. Love all your videos, thank you for educating us.

[edgy]

Good to know I was right in my choice of tie!

[carinalee]

Love this video, I hope it include next time Navy blue suit for a groom with a yellow rose. my businessman groom wears that on our wedding day. literally believe some men wears that also ❤️

[Scumag]

It was all-out blue for me. I wore true blue suit with spiked lapels, ivory shirt with light blue textile/steel cufflinks, light blue paisley tie (half-windsor) and plain sky blue pocket square (puff fold) with cognac wingtip brogue derbys (I know, so casual).

And I bloody loved it!
