He Has Only One Tuxedo, But I Want Him to Change Outfits Too!

Changing outfits during the reception is quite a classic, isn't it? While brides often change into a colored dress, what does the groom plan to do? Due to budget constraints or his lack of particular preferences, many couples end up with the same outfit. If the groom is stylish, the bride is guaranteed to look even more beautiful! Let's learn some techniques to dramatically change the impression of the same tuxedo, ensuring he looks exceptionally stylish, aiming to become an amazing couple!

＼Groom's Coordinated Look with One Suit／① Ceremony

The basic style for a tuxedo is a "three-piece" consisting of a jacket, vest, and pants. For the solemn ceremony, let's keep it simple. In formal attire suitable for a sacred place, let's have him looking sharp!

When choosing a three-piece, it’s recommended to combine a different color, pattern, or material for the vest and shirt compared to the jacket. When the jacket is removed, the different color shows, making it appear as if there has been an outfit change!

A pocket square is a fashionable item peeking out from the jacket pocket. The difference it makes is huge! Use it as a color accent for the jacket! More details about pocket squares are introduced in this article:

Remove the jacket and appear in just the shirt and vest! This changes the impression from formal to more relaxed! It’s just taking off the jacket, so it shortens the outfit change time as well!

A patterned vest brings a casual vibe and looks stylish! Recently, the combination of vests with bow ties has also become popular!

A flower bow tie, known as a “flower tie,” pairs excellently with a vest! It can give a completely different impression compared to the formal three-piece look!

At the after party, where you can enjoy a casual outfit, the groom's fashion can be even more freely arranged! It’s popular to remove the vest and combine it with suspenders or a slightly flashy bow tie!

Adding a boutonnière as a point of interest on the shirt is also cute! The bride is casually styling her wedding dress, creating a truly stylish couple!

Rolling up the pants to show off some socks or switching to sneakers is also adorable! It’s an advanced technique to change the impression of your footwear!
