It is just as confusing to select formal wear for the Groom and his attendants as it is to purchase a new car, or even an electric shaver (Remington has over 20 models)! . 

     At formal weddings, the Groom may choose to wear a black tailcoat with matching pants. A white waistcoat and bow tie accented with black patent pumps or oxfords is another option. A wing collar shirt is usually selected.

     If the groom is in the armed forces, then his military uniform would be more than appropriate.

     For winter semi-formal weddings, the Groom is often seen in a black dinner jacket with matching trousers, vest, and white tuxedo shirt with turned-down collars. At summer semi-formal weddings, these same Grooms may be fashioned in a white dinner jacket with black trousers, cummerbund, white dress shirt, and black shoes.

     At informal and very informal weddings, a dark gray or navy business suit may be chosen, or a white linen jacket with oxford gray trousers.

     Some have opted for a Football shirt (Hello Tom Brady) or other sports uniform.

     Or you could do what Adam Sandler did as the Wedding Singer and simply wear a tuxedo with ruffles from the 1980's!
