With all these things in mind, we’ve listed five groom fashion mistakes to avoid. Getting your wedding style right will lift your confidence on the big day and make you look awesome in all the wedding photos. Read on to find out more!

Mistake #1: Wearing a Poorly Fitted Tuxedo or Suit

Do you want to look back on your wedding photos, which were captured and processed by a professional to whom you paid a lot of money, and discover that the jacket is baggy and the sleeves are too long?

Wearing a perfectly fitting tuxedo or suit at your wedding is critical. Pick out every detail of your garments—from the collar to the cuff, the shoulder type to the lapels, and much more. Besides, spend a few extra dollars on a fabric that is 100% wool. It’ll feel and look better than a polyester blend.

In addition to colours, you should coordinate by choosing the same wedding florals for your buttonhole, wearing the same jewellery, or donning matching jewellery. There are many options you can choose from!
