Groom's Wedding Attire - What To Wear As A Groom, Suit, Tuxedo... & What Mistakes To Avoid
About this video
The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to groom’s attire, walking through traditional formal options like morning coats and white tie tailcoats, mid-level choices such as tuxedos and stroller suits, and more casual alternatives like regular suits. The team shares founder Sven Raphael Schneider’s personal wedding experiences and offers practical advice on fit, accessories, grooming, and common mistakes to help grooms look their best on their wedding day.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team argues that morning coats and white tie tailcoats are the most formal daywear and evening options respectively, but emphasize these body coats must be properly tailored to look good
- The team recommends choosing formality level based on wedding timing and location—daytime weddings traditionally call for morning wear or stroller suits, while evening events suit tuxedos or black tie
- The Gazette team stresses that grooming, proper boutonniere placement (through the buttonhole rather than pinned), quality fabrics, and well-fitted garments matter more than budget—even vintage or affordable options can look excellent with proper research
