The Best Man’s Guide: Dressing Sharp and Making Memories with Timeless Watches
Summer has finally arrived, bringing with it a delightful season of weddings. If you’re lucky enough to be part of one of these special events, About Vintage and Deerest have joined forces to help you and your best men look your absolute best on this important day.
How to Dress as a Best Man for a Wedding?
As a wedding guest, you have a wide range of options when it comes to what to wear. A classic suit is always a solid choice. If the couple has a preference for more formal attire like a tuxedo or white tie, this will usually be specified in the invitation.
But as the best man, your suit should align closely with the groom’s suit. For example, if the groom opts for a dark green suit, the best man might choose a similar green shade, ideally matching the tone. Alternatively, the groom can stand out with a unique color while the best man selects a complementary shade. Accessories like the wedding vest and tie can highlight the groom, ensuring he is the star of the day.
As the best man, you might consider choosing a different tie than the groom. While the groom might wear a suit with a vest, your best men could wear their suits without vests, creating a cohesive yet distinct look. There are plenty of elegant options to explore.
A Common Oversight at Weddings
One detail that many grooms and best men overlook, which is just as important as their suit, is their watch.
A well-chosen watch not only completes the suit but adds a touch of sophistication, ensuring that both the groom and his groomsmen look exceptionally polished.
A Special Watch for a Special Occasion
Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and a watch is a perfect way to capture and commemorate this momentous occasion. That’s why at About Vintage, we’ve created a special section for Groomsmen and Best Men. Here, you can enjoy a 20% discount when purchasing four or more watches for you and your closest friends.
At About Vintage, we also offer complimentary engraving on your watch, allowing you to add the wedding date or another significant date or message that holds personal meaning.
This summer, one of our top picks is the 1934 Telechron, Steel/Off White. In our opinion, it’s one of our finest designs yet. The cream-colored dial, its sleek case, and its timeless style make it perfect for a formal occasion like your wedding, while also being versatile enough for daily wear afterward.
The look of this watch can be easily transformed by changing the strap. It comes with a brown suede strap, but you can personalize it further with one of our many other straps for a different style.
