There was a time when grooms were merely accessories to their brides. But that’s all long gone now because grooms these days are already as fashionable as their brides.
Now if you’re still trying to navigate the world of custom wedding suits, here are five things that you should keep in mind:

Always go back to your personal style.
Your bride fell in love with you for who you are, so your wedding shouldn’t be the time to change your style. Suits come in different shapes and sizes, which can be quite overwhelming, especially if you’re not really a suit type of guy. But looking at your personal style will give you an idea on the type of suit that would look best on you for your wedding. Remember that when you’re comfortable with what you’re wearing, you can rock your suit confidently on your big day.
Know your measurements.
No matter what style of suit you prefer, there’s one rule for everything: a suit that fits well looks well. This is why it’s very important to know your measurements and have a suit that’s tailor-made to fit you perfectly. Fit is really key to achieving the best look when wearing a wedding suit, so make sure that you find a good tailor who can create a suit tailored to fit your body flawlessly.
Choose your colour well.
A wedding suit doesn’t always have to be all black, although nothing’s wrong with going for a classic colour. In fact, you don’t even need to stick with a plain colour because now, you can also play with different patterns when it comes to choosing your wedding suit. This would depend on your theme, however. If you’re going for a black-tie formal affair, then of course, you also need to go with a timeless suit that will fit well with your theme. But if you’re going for a more colourful and relaxed vibe, you can also extend that playfulness with your outfit.
Think about your comfort.
Your wedding suit doesn’t only need to be stylish, it also needs to be comfortable. Keep in mind that you’ll be wearing this outfit for hours—from the wedding ceremony to the afterparty—so it has to be extra comfortable to wear. The trick here is choosing the right materials for your suit to ensure that you can move comfortably and stay warm even if you’re getting married during the summer.
Find the right tailor.
Finally, the most important thing here is to find a good tailor who can create a suit that meets your exact needs. While there are many tailors out there, or you may be considering a pre-made suit, having a tailor-made suit is a worthwhile investment, especially since this is one of the biggest days of your life.
Just as you would spend on your wedding reception, you should also set aside a budget for a suit that will make you the most stylish groom on your wedding day.
