Destination Wedding Style for the Groom

Here at Pacific Weddings® we edit literally hundreds of photos every week, and I have noticed an emergent trend among destination wedding grooms: khaki pants and a white shirt (Tommy Bahama is the top choice) are quickly becoming the uniform of choice. Here are some fabulous alternatives to give your groom stylish panache (via style.com). Nothing says casual island elegance more than linen. Avoid billowy, pleated linen suits and opt for a slim, modern cut like the one below. The tie will give you an opportunity to "tie in" your wedding color.

Skip the leather flip-flops and go for a lightweight lace-up shoe paired with a summer canvas belt. The off-white Louis Vuitton is my favorite–love the fine stitching–and the grey bucks are fab, too.

Pulling off a white suit is tricky, but according to style.com the key is to "keep it as relaxed and fun as the summer wedding you’re
wearing it to is supposed to be." Good advice! Love the loafers sans socks and colorful pocket square that plays off the belt–so chic.

This pale blue  and white whipcord suit (also available in black and
white) projects a sophisticated air and an unbelievably low price tag. It bears the subtle seersucker look without the stereotypical Ivy League vibe.

WeddingSpeechSuccess - The featured outfits look great, a much more comfortable alternative to the conventional formal tuxedo. It’s great to see the groom having many options for the wedding day, the bride will still get most of the attention but there’s no reason why the groom can’t look as good as possible too.
