Bow Tie, Neck Tie or Neither - A Groom's Quandry
Posted by AMIT SUTHAR
Bow tie, neck tie or neither? This has become a common question with men deciding on their wedding day attire; which to choose, which to choose? Some men might say “neither,” and point to the fact that both are still like a noose around the neck. We say poppycock to those peeps, that’s a sad commentary on getting married
Get Your Groom On

There is no excuse for being a slob . . . or as your bride-to-be might diplomatically say, “looking disheveled.” Maybe it’s just fine to show off shadowy stubble and a squirrel’s nest of hair on a lazy weekend morning, a late bachelor night or even at work if you have a boss with a loose interpretation of “casual Friday,” but never, ever at any of your wedding events – especially the big day.
Pinterest for Grooms
Posted by AMIT SUTHAR
Guys, have you been on Pinterest.com? You know, that social media site your girlfriend is probably totally into and creating all sorts of wedding boards. If you are a total Pinterest newbie, the idea is that people “pin” images or videos to their “boards” – it’s like a virtual visual scrapbook right on your computer. All the images link back to their original source so you can just click through to get the entire dose of information whenever you want. And, if you’re into being popular on social media (come on, I know you secretly want a million followers), the beauty of all stuff that you pin is that it can be “re-pinned” by others and get you exponential exposure as it gets repined and repined.

Mustache Mania for Grooms
Posted by AMIT SUTHAR
Mustaches seem to be all the rage in pop culture today. But, why the resurgence in popularity with the hairy upper lip? Really mustaches hark from the dawn of time, do you think the cavemen shaved off facial hair? We think not. My guess is that ïstaches are back on the scene because of a renewed interest in all things from 70s and 80s eras. Everything old becomes new, hip and cool again, including mustaches flashing back to the days of Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit, Tom Selleck in Magnum P.I., and the legendary runner Steve ñPreî Prefontaine. A physical feature unlike no other, the mustache has been the common denominator forever linking dictators with porn stars and artists with potheads. ItÍs the universal equalizer yet, if worn right, imparts a certain swagger that a clean-shaven face just canÍt pull off.
Grooms, Put Best Foot Forward

Your wedding day is fast approaching and we know you want to put your best foot forward in every sense of the phrase. Today, there are quite a few choices when it comes to picking the right shoes for the groom and groomsmen. Color and comfort of course are key, but another important consideration is the formality of your wedding. Converse sneakers or cowboy boots may be a statement of fashion (and function) at casual weddings, but more traditional affairs usually require a dressier shoe. Below, check out the different types of shoes that may work with your tuxedo, dark suit or event sports coat.
Tuxedo Time _ How to Wear it Well
Posted by AMIT SUTHAR
If you want to look sharp in your tuxedo, you need to make sure it fits perfectly. Even the most expensive formal wear can look sub-par if it doesn’t fall just so over the wear’s physique. Without a doubt, fit is the most important factor in a tux regardless of if you are renting or having one custom-made. Remember to give yourself enough lead time when securing your tux, keeping into mind that tuxedos take time to alter – it can’t just be done while you stand there and wait. Make sure all the groomsmen know about this too! Also, if you can afford to, it is a very nice gesture to pick up the rent tab on the groomsmen tuxedos – in addition to their groomsmen gifts. Share the following fit tips and every one in your wedding party will look good and feel good on the big day.

Mix and Match Wedding Attire for the Groom
Posted by AMIT SUTHAR
Note to the groom and groomsmen, the bride and her bridesmaidÍs donÍt hold the exclusive right to set the tone and vibe for wedding day attire. Men, this is your time to speak up and get in on the ñnon-uniformî trend that is going on in weddings all over creation. For the past decade, non-matching attire has been acceptable wear for the bridesmaids, and now itÍs time for the guys to literally follow suit. A reasonable groom knows that not all men have the same personality; so why make all the groomsmen dress up in carbon copy? Give your buddies an intangible but oh-so welcomed groomsmen gift, the opportunity to be unique!
