How to Dress a Heavy Groom
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and you want to look good for it. If you're an overweight groom, you might feel self-conscious about standing up in front of a crowd to say your vows. Put those fears to rest by choosing a tuxedo that works with your body type. If you're wearing a tuxedo that looks great on you, then you'll be able to feel good about yourself and put your focus on enjoying your big day. Does this Spark an idea?
-
Tuxedo Type
-
Chose a shawl collar tuxedo. This type of tuxedo has a thinner, rounded collar which will help you look a bit more on the slender side.
Jacket Type
-
Wear a single-breasted jacket. A double-breasted jacket adds volume to your frame, so it's best to leave this look to men with a slender to medium build.
-
Vest or Cummberbund?
-
Opt to wear a vest with your tuxedo, instead of a cummerbund. A vest will disguise your stomach, but a cummerbund will enhance it.
Tuxedo Color
-
Wear a black tuxedo, as this is a very slimming color. Choosing to wear a light-colored tuxedo will emphasize your husky body type more.
Find the Right Fit
-
Get measured for your tuxedo by a professional. This person will be able to help you decide the proper tuxedo size for your frame. A tuxedo that doesn't fit right can make you look larger than you actually are, so you want to make sure to have the right fit.
