Groom and GM attire

jaycee7389

Hi all! FI and I are having a hard time figuring out what he and his groomsmen should wear, and where to purchase everything.

What did your groom/GM wear?
We are thinking linen pants and shirts, any ideas of where to get these?

We originally wanted linen pants, but the people at Men's Warehouse convinced us not to (and they were more expensive than the pants we ended up getting, so it's not like he was trying to get more money out of us) since he showed us how quickly and easily it would wrinkle.  Here is what they ended up in:

Ditto to us for the same reasons.  We ended up going with a suit from Men's Warehouse.  We also looked and tried some suits at Macys.

I loved several of the Tommy Bahama shirts and if we had used GM, they probably would have worn those and khakis.  Ours Macys had a good selection of them in stock.

D got linen pants at Old Navy for $20. They only have them during the summer. Then he got a shirt from Tori Richard. They are an original Hawaiian brand and really happy with the shirt we got.

We just picked up FI's suit this weekend... we ended up going with a Calvin Klein Linen suit from Men's Warehouse (we weren't warned of the wrinkle issue so now I'm re-thinking it).

this is the one he got:

since the pants are sold seperately, the groomsmen will be wearing the same pants.

all of them will be wearing Guyabera shirts from cubavera.  These are the ones we are going to order:

Eh...don't worry too much!  My dad wore a linen suit, and it looked great.  I think the issue they were pointing out was more with the casual linen baggier pants.  Maybe just bring a hand-held steamer too.

I bought my fiance's white linen pants on Macys.com (brand was Cubavera), and they look great! We went with a dark blue Via Europa shirt. His whole outfit was $50. He looks so handsome!

I wasn't going to force him into a suit, he hates them
