Who says it’s just the bride-to-be who has to look beautiful and put-together in engagement photos?
While people may focus on what the bride is wearing, there’s no less scrutiny on the groom as well.
If not for others, dress well to impress your fiancé, look good, and feel confident about yourself.
Here are a few outfit ideas and style tips to take note of!
Try A Suit and Tie With Personality
Thinking of looking dashing and dapper at your engagement shoot? Don a classy suit and pair it with stylish oxford shoes.
If you’re feeling adventurous, try on a bottle green suit or a peach-colored pant and suit. Not only will it photograph well, but you’ll also pull off the whole old-Hollywood-meets-modern-man vibe.
Do Coordinate, Don’t Match
Wearing matching outfits might seem cute at first, but it’s a little clichéd. You don’t have to dress head to toe in matching colors and clothing. A few mismatched pieces and complementary colors, and you’re good to go.
If you’re going for the understated look, wear jeans and boots but choose a neutral shirt or sweater that gives room for your fiancé to play with a brightly colored top.
Add A Blazer
Don’t dismiss the power of a great fitted blazer and how it can elevate your simple look. Not only is it a great layering piece, but it also lets you pull off two looks without an outfit change.
We’d recommend playing it safe with color and sticking to light neutrals, grays, browns, and off-white blazers.
However, you can mix things up a bit with textured jackets and blazers! Gray tweed jackets and blue blazers with jeans are big in men’s fashion right now!
Embrace Pattern
Add a dose of personality to your outfit by wearing a striped shirt or a polka dot jacket. Don’t be afraid of patterns. Just keep it limited to one article of clothing.
If you’re wearing pin-striped pants, forgo the flower-patterned shirt. Similarly, if you’re wearing a tribal patterned sweater, stick with plain blue or black jeans.
Stylish Layering
We believe there’s a way to stay warm at an outdoor location and still look like you just walked out the runway. The key to pulling off layering is to do it tastefully.
One way to stylish layering is wearing a blazer with a sweater vest and a collar shirt. Not only is it modern and trendy, but it’ll also keep you warm without looking large and bulky.
Now that your outfit is sorted, hire a professional photographer to commemorate your engagement and celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in your life.
