MANY MEN ASK THEMSELVES THE SAME QUESTION BEFORE A WEDDING: WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE THE JOURNEY TO A STUNNING APPEARANCE BEGINS. BECAUSE AS A WEDDING GUEST, YOU DON’T WANT TO STEAL THE SHOW FROM THE GROOM OR BLEND IN WITH THE STANDARDISED LOOK. YOU WANT TO SHOW CLASS – MODERN, RELAXED AND APPROPRIATE FOR THE OCCASION. THIS GUIDE WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH FOUR WEDDING SCENARIOS AND PROVIDE YOU WITH THE RIGHT LOOKS WITH STYLE, SUBSTANCE AND SELF-CONFIDENCE.

If the dress code is elegant, a midnight blue or deep navy suit will show that you have style and finesse. Choose high-quality virgin wool, a white shirt with a clear silhouette and a narrow silk tie in dark bordeaux or deep pine green.

Matching oxfords with a subtle sheen complete the outfit. A silk handkerchief adds a delicate touch to your look – stylish, but not overpowering. With this look, you will demonstrate a sense of style – without appearing overdressed.

Lightness meets style: a linen suit in beige, off-white or sage green goes perfectly with a maritime setting. The shirt can come with a stand-up collar or as an airy overshirt, preferably in white or light blue. Go for loafers without socks or elegant espadrilles – bare feet are only acceptable if specifically requested. The look works best in monochrome natural colours, complemented by sunglasses with high-quality frames. This way you will attract everyone’s interest – relaxed, stylish and with a flair for detail.

What you need here is an outfit that combines casualness and elegance.

A light-coloured jacket – in light blue or olive, for example – combined with a well-fitting pair of chinos will give you that smart-casual charm. A shirt with a fine pattern or delicate texture goes well with this. Cognac-coloured brogues or suede derbies underline the smart but relaxed character of your look.

A floral breast pocket handkerchief or a structured waistcoat will add individuality to your look – subtle but striking.

In the city, your outfit can look modern, minimalist and confident. Opt for a slim-fit suit in dark moss green, anthracite or bordeaux – tone-on-tone looks are particularly effective here.

A white shirt is always the right choice, but if you want to make a fashion statement, swap it for a black turtleneck in a fine knit.

Chelsea boots or clean loafers in leather or suede will give your look an urban edge. A handkerchief with a subtle print and a simple watch round off your statement – modern, masculine and stylish.
