Groom's attire

breaness · May 2011

We were originally planning on FI wearing khakis and a nice button down from express. We've got the button down and are sticking with that but now I'm thinking light tan linen pants would probably be better, especially now that I'm wearing a real wedding dress AND a veil.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a place to find nice dress pants? He's very tall and has a nice small waist so he will likely need a place that does tailoring since pants rarely look right off the rack.

Thanks!

We order FIs shirt and pants from Tommy Bahama. The pants are khaki colored and are lightweight and really nice. We ordered online and then had his tailored locally. They also have big and tall so he could prob get a long length.

We got a white suit from Mens wear house for FI. Originally, we were just going to do a linen suit, but with my dress being more dressy, I wanted him to dress up a bit more

And they do their own work there as well for tailoring.

Wish I could help you, chickie, but I'm stuck in Canada.

Have you checked out Gap or Banana Republic online to see what they have? I know they offer things that aren't in store (and are a little more dressy than in store) and possibly find someone local to tailor them to him?

FI now has 4 pairs of linen pants and I think he just changed what he's wearing for the ceremony. We got some nice white pants from Nordstroms and they will tailor for free. Then we got him some khaki colored ones at Old Navy a few weeks ago. Those actually fit him very well and look really nice. So I think he is going to wear that with a white button down. It looks a little more beachy wedding.

FI just bought a tan linen suit from Macys. Really cute and cheap.

Banana Republic has a really nice khacki suit right now. Their clothes are a little more tailor fitted. We got FI and the GMs suit from Jos A Bank, in a khacki poplin (nice and lightwight).
