SURE, ALL EYES WILL BE ON THE BRIDE, but as the groom you should still set yourself apart. Although the tradition dictates that the groom and his henchmen all wear similar outfits, it’s important to help guests identify you as the special guy who just locked lips with the bride at the altar.

ALTERNATIVE TUX Wearing a subtly different jacket from those of your groomsmen is a surefire way to make your mark. For a daytime affair, wear a cutaway coat, but have your boys wear stroller coats instead. If you select a double-breasted jacket, put your men in a single-breasted cut. Or, put yourself in a one-button jacket and have the groomsmen sport a three-button version.

A FANCIER FLOWER A unique boutonniere is the easiest way to help guests single you out. For example, have boutonnieres made of the same flower for the groom and groomsmen, but add a berry or herbal accent to yours. Or, select a different but very similar blossom. It’s a good idea to keep the flowers in the same color family for a consistent look.

THE TELLTALE TIE Boost your “all about me” factor by wearing a different colored tie or bow tie than the gang. Grooms can go one step further and wear a different type of neckwear from the guys. If you choose a bow tie, the groomsmen could wear neckties with a Windsor knot, which has a triangle-shaped knot, larger than your standard, everyday four-in-hand.

VARIETY IN THE VEST Vests are another element of the tux with which grooms can experiment. Pick a vest that’s a different color from that of your groomsmen. Or, set yourself apart in a cummerbund and put the fellas in vests.
