Getting married is a big deal, and it’s natural for anyone to want to look their best when they walk down the aisle. Women often spend a lot money finding the perfect dress, and it makes sense for men to do the same when choosing a suit. After all, this is the one day when you’re absolutely guaranteed to be in the spotlight and surrounded by photographers, and will likely be the most memorable occasion of your life. However, while a suit might be the bulk of your outfit, it’s not the only way to add that next layer of style to your look. Below we’ll take a look at the best accessories to take your wedding outfit game to the next level.
A Solid Timepiece
The importance of a stylish watch cannot be overstated. As well as being practical (when, after all, is it more crucial to be on time than on your wedding day?), a watch is the ideal accessory for complementing a suit. It’s important to ensure that the watch not only matches your tuxedo or suit, but also the jewelry of the bride. For example, if the bride is going to wear a simple, understated necklace, it’s important for the groom to wear something equally modest on his wrist. A prudent way to find a fitting watch is to explore a brand that offers watches in many different styles. A brand like Tissot offers an extensive selection of watches that can be found easily online, and is sure to satisfy most tastes while making a statement.
Cufflinks
Cufflinks are one of the most subtle yet stylish accessories available, and a favorite among suit-wearers. They’re also extremely versatile when it comes to adding a nuance of self-expression. For example, if your wedding is beach-themed and taking place next to the ocean, then a couple of sterling silver sandals would reflect this perfectly. If you’re more of a rock and roll aficionado, then why not opt for some miniature vinyl records? Or if you’re more of a traditionalist, you may opt to go for the classic gold or silver squares. Whatever the choice, cufflinks are a minimalist essential when it comes to upping your suit game.
Pocket Squares
Other than a tie or bowtie, the pocket square is the next best thing for adding a burst of color to an otherwise one- or two-tone suit. There’s a lot of variation when it comes to choosing the ideal square so the groom has lots of choice in this regard. Just ensure that the colors complement the suit and that the pattern doesn’t clash with the tie (unless you have really have an expert eye and are aiming for this style). The only hard and fast rule for wearing a pocket square is that you have to know how to fold it properly; an ill-folded square will do nothing but bring down the entire look of your suit.
