All too often, the groom is left out of the loop. While it takes two to tango, the groom ironically appears left out of the loop in the bridal preparations. It’s important to remember that this is just as much about him (the groom) as it is her (the bride). An exuberant shoe, understated color palette and refined tailoring create a sophisticated and breathtaking look of excellence.

Suiting

Having the proper fit is vital and can make or break the stylish integrity of your look. Many suiting specialty stores have a tailor on hand, be sure to take advantage of it.
