The Dashing Gentlemen

On the wedding day, most of the attention is focused on the bride and her bridesmaids. After all, their attire sets the mood and tone for the entire wedding.

But the men are important as well. You want the groom and the groomsmen to get noticed too - and not because they're dressed poorly.

Types of Formal Wear:

- For a semiformal daytime wedding, suits are actually more appropriate than tuxedos. Men can wear a tie or go without one.

- For a semiformal evening wedding, a dark tuxedo and bow tie with cummerbund or vest is appropriate. Or men could wear a dark suit. Wear a white wing-tipped or turned-down collared shirt.

- At a formal daytime wedding, choose from tuxedos, tailcoats and gray strollers. Wear it with a white spread-collar shirt, a vest that matches the coat, and an ascot.

- Formal evening weddings call for black tie. Wear a classic black tuxedo with a white wing - or spread-collar shirt, black bow tie, and a matching vest or cummerbund.

Just because the men are wearing tuxes doesn't mean that they have to be boring. The latest trends in tuxedos are longer jackets with a narrow cut. And vests come in a variety of colors and textures.

Even though all the men are basically dressed the same, it is appropriate for the groom to stand out, especially since it's his big day. "The groom may wear a different vest color, jacket or tie in order to distinguish him from the groomsmen.

After all, the bride shouldn't get all of the attention as she and her Prince Charming exchange vows.
