Best of 2021: Style Trends for Groomsmen
Written by Sophia Young
Your wedding is probably one of the most important days of your life. From the moment the bride walks down the aisle to dancing your shoes off during the party, everything should be picture perfect. There are many elements that make up your wedding day as well.
Aside from the bride and groom, there are also bridesmaids, flower girls, ring bearers, and of course, the groomsmen. These handsome and dashing men make the ceremony more complete and they also need to put their best foot forward. Nowadays, a plain black and white tuxedo isn’t going to make a lasting impression on those wedding photos. If you’re wondering what style trends are great for groomsmen this 2021, then keep on reading!
Velvet Jackets
Velvet jackets are a simple upgrade from the regular and plain black tux that we always see men sport on wedding days. They also come in a variety of colors and add some texture to your outfit, adding an elegant look without looking too formal or stuffy. Velvet coats can go with any type of suit or dress shirt so they will definitely look good no matter where you wear them. The only downside about velvet suits is that they tend to get dirty easily because of all the creases. However, if you want something different than just a standard black jacket, then these are worth checking out.
Micro Prints
Micro Prints on suits are a great way to add some style to the traditional black and white tuxedo. This trend is something to definitely look out for in 2021. The microprinting technique involves printing tiny dots or lines onto the fabric, and it gives the suit an interesting texture that makes it look unique. It can even give the suit a vintage and classy feel if done right. You don’t have to worry about ruining the material because these prints will not fade over time. They won’t show through any other clothing either so you can wear them with anything else in your wardrobe without looking out-of-place.
Colorful Ties and Bowties
If you're looking to add some color to your ensemble, then colorful ties and bowties are certainly a must-try. What’s great about using colorful ties and bowties for your groomsmen’s outfits is that they aren’t that expensive. In addition to being fun and eye-catching, these accessories can help set apart their personality. For example, if one of your groomsmen likes wearing bold patterns, then you might consider getting them a bright tie. On the other hand, if he prefers classic styles, then perhaps you could choose a solid-colored tie instead. Either way, these trendy pieces are sure to impress everyone at the reception.
Cream Suits
Cream suits are another way to stand out among the crowd. It's great for those who want their groomsmen to look polished and elegant during the wedding ceremony. While cream suits may seem like a boring choice, they actually work very well when paired with dark pants. A lot of people think that light-colored trousers would clash against a darker suit, but this couldn't be further from the truth. When worn together, both garments create a nice contrast between each other.
Cream suits are usually made of woolen fabrics and they are extremely comfortable, making them comfortable and lightweight. Since they are lightweight, they’re easy to wear while walking around the venue, even if it’s a hot day.
Groom Spa
The groom spa is a treatment dedicated to the groom and the groomsmen before the wedding. During this special event, the groom and the groomsmen receive the groom spa and skin treatments so they look fresh and picture-perfect for the wedding day. Some spas offer massages while others provide facials, manicures, and more. Whatever kind of service you choose, it’ll leave everyone feeling refreshed and ready to take pictures on the big day.
Sneakers
If you aren't worried about your entourage looking too formal during your wedding, then spice up the groomsmen’s outfits with sneakers. Wearing sneakers can help them stand out in an ensemble full of suits and ties. Sneaker styles include slip-ons, canvas, and even tennis shoes. The key here is to choose something comfortable but still stylish enough to wear at weddings. You don’t want to look like you're trying too hard when it comes to dressing up.
From Jordans to Converse, you'll find plenty of options available for your entourage. They can even choose to wear their favorite sneakers during the wedding! Just remember to pick ones that fit comfortably since you might be wearing them throughout the entire night.
Matching Outfits
Another way to bring your groomsmen all together is to make them wear matching accessories during the wedding. If you know what type of accessory works best for each person, then you'll be able to coordinate everything perfectly. Pick up a few items that fit within the same theme as the rest of your outfits such as watches, cufflinks, pocket squares, or hats. This can help ensure that no matter how many groomsmen there are, they still match each other.
