Not only is it important for the couple to look perfect on their wedding day, but it’s also important for the groomsmen, because to quote ZZ Top, “every girl’s crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man.” The bride wants the guys to look handsome and sharp for the photos, while the single guys want to impress the single ladies.
It seems at the moment that anything goes, from the traditional matching tuxedos, to the more trendy vests and suspenders, or shorts/jeans depending on the location and theme of the wedding.
