Whether you are a guest, a witness and a fortiori married, the outfit to wear on the occasion of a wedding is often a source of pressure. In this article , Jordan takes stock of this sensitive subject so that the party is not spoiled by a lack of taste in dress.
It’s the return of the wedding season, and with it comes the question of what to wear for the occasion. Gentlemen, be elegant and avoid stylistic mistakes , especially if you are the one putting the ring on your finger.
WHAT COSTUME TO GET MARRIED? AN ELEGANT AND UNADORNED SUIT
Through this article, I’ll tell you the best way to put you on your thirty-one without endimancher you provided .
Let’s get along well on this expression which comes to us from the past. Of course, on Sundays we put on beautiful clothes for the pleasure of wearing something other than the work outfit of the week.
But today, the expression “to dress up” has a negative connotation since it characterizes the excess of zeal of those who seek to dress well.
This is exactly the case with this guy who wears a belt AND suspenders. That’s why I’m yelling at him … (far left, mouth open)

(no, he is not a “crier”).
For the upcoming wedding, you’ll have to find the right balance, the exact dosage with which you will breathe style and sobriety at the same time .
There are a number of important things to remember for this.
A WEDDING SUIT EXACTLY YOUR SIZE
A costume is used to sublimate your body. You need to choose one that sticks exactly to your proportions in great detail.

Jacket too big = you seem to be floating in it.
Jacket too short / fitted = one has the impression that you are suffocating.
For the pants, a too long leg will come to compress on your shoes, but this is not a reason to show off your socks (too short leg).
There are several criteria that allow you to check if your costume is the right size for you:
1 – PERFECT SHOULDERS
It is the structuring element of the costume par excellence: the seam must coincide exactly with the place where your shoulder breaks.

2 – THE CORRECT LENGTH OF THE JACKET
Make sure that the sides of the jacket do not fall lower than your buttocks. Ideally, they should end at the level of the palms of your hands.

3 – THE BENDING OF THE JACKET
The jacket must conform to the natural curvature of your sides and that of your back without bad folds marking the fabric (especially around the button that closes the jacket).

4 – THE LENGTH OF THE PANTS
The hem should fall over the shoe so that there is only one crease on the leg.

WHAT COSTUME TO CHOOSE FOR A WEDDING?
If you don’t have a costume that meets these basic criteria, this is your chance to invest in a nice two-piece .
In this case, you can opt for a blue or gray suit, possibly with a small Prince of Wales or chip foot pattern.

or even a different color altogether. Illustration from Adriano Dirnelli’s Tumblr .
Above all, don’t wear a suit that you use in the office. Unless it’s like new, and exactly meets the above criteria, now is definitely not the time to wear an outfit that you regularly put on to work and that has faded.

If you don’t believe me, take a look at your work suits: the fabric is shiny in places (elbows, buttocks), the iron-on patch bubbles on the cuffs, the pockets are yawning, a few threads are showing here and there.
