Choosing the right outfit for a groom for a wedding is no less serious a task than choosing a dress for the bride. Each element must be combined and be a single whole. One of the components of a wedding suit is a shirt, in which the groom will have to stay the whole evening. Unlike the jacket, it cannot be removed during the ceremony. Therefore, it is important to know how to choose the right shirt for the groom and what color it should be.

How to recognize the perfect groom's wedding shirt
If you think that any white shirt is suitable for a celebration, then you are making a real fashion mistake! Wedding shirts for men are an essential attribute that should not be neglected. What distinguishes a regular office shirt from a smart item:
- - correct collar. This is an important element if you want to wear a tuxedo and bow tie;
- - cuffs. Slits for cufflinks and decorative stitching highlight the purpose of the product;
- - material. Natural fabrics will make a men’s wedding shirt not only a beautiful outfit, but will also provide comfort to the groom. Cotton, silk, linen are an excellent solution for pleasant sensations;
- - colors. White, cream and beige tones are suitable for any jacket.
Note! The shade of a shirt for a wedding for men must match the color of the bride’s dress, otherwise the image of the lovers will lose harmony and will look disjointed.
If your wedding involves a single consistent style, then the clothes of the groomsmen must be in harmony with your outfit. The same shade of the shirt will allow you to “knit” the outfits of your witnesses with a single thread, and as a result you will achieve maximum harmony of the overall image.
How to choose a men's shirt for a wedding?
The main rule for choosing a man's outfit for a wedding is to harmonize it with all the accessories, as well as the image of the bride. You also need to take into account the style and theme of the wedding event, and naturally, based on this, the shirt for the groom is selected. If the groom prefers a sporty style in everyday life, then on the wedding day it is worth reconsidering his taste preferences. One of the criteria by which a shirt for the groom is selected is the collar. Thanks to the collar, you can create your own style and look elegant. You also need to pay attention to the color of the shirt, what fabric it is made of, and what accessories you will wear. Remember that your success at your wedding depends on your choice. After all, you must not only harmonize with your bride, but also amaze the eyes of amazed guests. That is why the shirt is one of the important elements of the bride’s wedding dress. And so let’s look at the types of collars:
- Classical. This collar is the most common, the sharp ends of which are directed to the sides. The advantage of such a collar is its uniqueness, since both a tie and a bow tie will fit under it. In both cases, the groom will not lose his classic image and will look incomparable. Shirts with a classic collar truly give the image of an elegant and masculine man who will amaze everyone. But at the same time, it is important not only to surprise guests with your appearance, but also to think about the bride. If you have an athletic build, then this shirt will perfectly highlight your figure and also make a lasting impression on the bride, who will forever remember your wedding.
- The swing collar has laid back wide edges, sharp and long ends that point down. This type of collar is relevant, as it can match any classic suit. But when giving preference to a shirt with such a collar, be careful taking into account the distance between the ends of the collars for selected accessories in the form of a tie or bow tie. After all, your image should be complete and without flaws.
- Shark collar. A shirt with such a collar looks the most restrained and adds rigor to the groom’s image. This collar is ideally combined only with a tie that fills the space between the edges of the collar. The mistake of many grooms is choosing the wrong accessory. There are shirts that don't go well with a tie, and vice versa. Taking this nuance into account, know how to correctly combine a shirt with a tie and bow tie.
- The choice of one or another accessory for the groom’s wedding shirt determines the most appropriate collar. If the groom prefers narrow ties, then the ideal option would be a tab collar. It comes with a fastener that tightens the edges to the required distance. There is no need to tighten the collar around your neck too much, because in this case you can create discomfort for yourself, which will disrupt your wedding mood.
Men are more relaxed about their image than brides. But despite this, a man must strictly follow the rules of etiquette and fashion trends. You also need to pay attention to the fabric from which the shirt is made. The best option for fabric is cotton with the addition of lycra or polyester. Thanks to this, the groom's image looks excellent and chic. The advantage of such fabric is the comfort of the groom on the wedding day, regardless of weather conditions, since such a shirt does not have folds and allows the body to breathe in hot weather.
Style of a young man in a shirt and suspenders
A hot summer day is a reason to refuse even a vest when creating the groom’s image. Classic suit trousers and suspenders will be enough.
However, many modern grooms, having a wedding in a rustic, boho or dudes style, choose colored pants or even shorts.
Supporters of classic trousers remain faithful to accessories such as a formal tie or bow tie, paying special attention to the quality and color of the shirt . The groom without a jacket, in a shirt with suspenders - an image for a themed wedding. This is a rustic celebration or a holiday in country style.
To create such an image of the newlywed, you will need an appropriate headdress, and instead of a classic tie, a neckerchief.
Choice of color and shirt fabric
The color of the groom's shirt at a wedding, which is held in a particular style, depends on the conditions, the appearance and costume of the bride, the presence of bright details and accessories.
If a young man has chosen light-colored trousers made from light fabric as his suit trousers, then he can use a shirt:
- pink;
- gray;
- baby blue;
- light lilac;
- light purple.
Shirts of darker shades look harmonious with dark trousers, which are perfect for a wedding in early autumn, or in the summer, but when the holiday takes place in the late evening. You should avoid using shirts made of silk and other dense fabrics.
A young man’s body must breathe, and on hot summer days you can only feel comfortable in clothes made from natural fabrics. These are cotton products, satin, cambric.
White shirt in the fashion world. Timeless and universal classic
How old are you? 18? 25? 50? What do you have in your wardrobe that is difficult to attribute to any age? What can you easily steal from your mom’s closet, and what can your mom just as easily borrow from you? And this is not a mystery at all, and it is not at all difficult. The shirt is... An ordinary white shirt.
So strictly brutal and at the same time so touching, feminine when worn by a representative of the fair sex. What better way to reveal and at the same time so chastely veil female sexuality? What are these white shirts like today? Different. Flowing silk, stylishly wrinkled linen, with a stand-up collar and an interesting turn-down collar, carefully hugging the waist and loose oversized... The list could go on for a long time. Just like the images created with a white shirt. A businesslike and respectable woman, a hooligan teenager and a chic one straight out of the pages of a fashion magazine. Let's talk about each separately. Let's figure it out.
White shirt. Sort of... the most masculine. The straight cut of such a shirt creates a noticeable contrast with a fragile, feminine figure. This is what is attractive. However, it is necessary to take into account some points that will create exactly the image that you want to convey when wearing such a shirt. The ideal option is when the stiffness of the collar is slightly less than that of classic men's shirts. Let's still leave collars with special plastic inserts for men. Material - 100% cotton. A thicker fabric will not fit as nicely on rounded shoulders and hips. Well, everything is clear here. Gentleness is still welcome. However (if you couldn’t choose from the women’s lines), you can still look for a shirt in the men’s department. Because the most important thing you need to know when choosing such a shirt is that (after all!) it must be the right size and height. Otherwise, there is a danger of going out into the street completely “disassembled” and sloppy. And if you are about 160 cm tall (and taller)), then you can easily buy the model you like in a men’s store. Wear with jeans, a pencil skirt (a bright contrast between masculine and feminine... yin-yang creates a unique and incredibly feminine look), shorts, both short and knee-length. The option with shorts is suitable for a fashionista who likes to tie the edges of her shirt into a knot on her stomach. Accessories: fancy chains and chains, heavy stones in beads or leather frames of handmade products, rough metal bracelets, woven, and again leather. Hats (men's!) and ties. A great opportunity to dream up and experiment with your image. Classic. White fitted shirt. As a rule, the required fit can be achieved using mixed fabrics or light cotton ones. This can be elastane or other additions, which allows the model to stretch slightly. The shirt either has darts or has a special cut with a curve on the side. Not recommended for girls with a large bust. We need other options here. The owner of a gorgeous chest should wear a men's shirt or a silk, flowing one. For others, such a shirt is a starting point for many looks and looks. This is where there really is room for imagination. It’s worth buying such a shirt, if only because it will not only delight you for a single season, but will also become a real magic wand that will give new life to many things from your wardrobe that have never had a place in your outfits until now. It is a necessary base for any style and any image. White blouse (silk, polyester). Different cut. Absolutely different collars, necklines, sleeves, additional interesting “with a twist” details... It’s up to the designer to come up with it. And you can wear them with anything, anytime. A matter of taste and inner intuition of a fashionista. Something that any representative of the fair sex cannot do. In a word, a universal thing. When choosing a blouse made of silk fabric, it is important to take into account that it should sit under the armpits so as not to come into contact with the skin. Sweat and deodorant can leave unwanted marks. You also need to handle perfumes with care. Droplets can ruin your blouse. Linen white shirt. Fans of linen items know that no matter how hard you try, linen always looks as if you slept in it more than once. However, flax is loved by many, especially those who prefer bright naturalness in everything. And there can be many combinations with a white linen shirt. The same jeans, shorts, linen trousers and skirt. Important! Care. Careful and attentive attitude. • chlorine-containing bleach for cotton is possible, subject to the instructions for use. Another possible option is baking soda. Calcified. Whitens perfectly and disinfects. • Baking soda. A little less than half a glass when washing in the conditioner compartment. • Lemon juice. You can also add it to the conditioner compartment when washing. • Yellowed (slightly!) shirt cuffs and collars can be soaked in a solution of water and milk powder before washing. Leaving it for a couple of hours. • It is advisable to remove stains from cosmetics, perfumes, juices, coffee immediately, if possible, with a cotton swab with detergent or bleach before washing. • Silk requires special care. Hand washing and gentle spinning will preserve your favorite item for a long time.
Let little white shirts and blouses delight you with their neat appearance for a long time.
Good luck and smiles to everyone!
