Deciding what you’ll wear on the big day comes with many decisions — should you pick a ballgown, sheath, fit-and-flare, or A-line dress? — and finding your personal style is key. But, what about your groom? The “suit, tie, done” mentality isn’t right for everyone, especially if your groom wants to incorporate his fun personality into his attire. Also, his comfort should be equally important! We’re in love with some of the new trends for modern grooms, including sneakers (in lieu of formal shoes), funky socks, and suspenders without a jacket. Our favorite trend of all: bold, patterned bow ties in fun colors for spring. Check out 10 different options for discerning grooms below!
