Ask the Rebellious Gentleman - Wedding

Q: Could you write some tips for wedding? I'm getting married on May and I need some dressing tips! I'm male, btw :P
-PekkaK

A: First and foremost, congrats on getting married. While most rebellious gentlemen prefer to be single their entire lives, being married and keeping a single life still tops it. Well joking aside and moving on, I would like to stress that you are not going to a prom. So don't color coordinate your tuxedo or suit with your bride to be. Doing so will likely increase the chances of her filing a divorce.

Avoid!

Without going a bit further on the subject, what kind of wedding are you planning? Where are you getting married? Church? Beach? Backyard? What is the dress code?
For a casual wedding, you can never go wrong with a classic and well fitted charcoal suit. Stick with one color silver and black ties.

If it's a black tie occasion, go with a simple classic tuxedo with a bit of modern touch. A black single breasted jacket paired with a turn-down collar shirt and a vest or a cummerbund to cover your waist. A bow tie is a must so learn how to tie it if you don't know how.

As always, fit is important so no loose or tight fit.

    I would choose the second one, it gives you a slight touch of cooleness and style, but isnt too impressing!

    Digging the pink tie. I'd probably go with a darker color though.
