Okay, I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy getting ready for today’s posts. With all of the styles available for groomsmen, couples finally have options other than the classic black tux. And while the classic tux is still the most popular selection, today we’ll be focusing on alternative attire for the fashionable groomsman.

First, we have the khakis and navy blue blazer look. I’ll call it “snappy casual.” This look isn’t as formal as a suit or tux, but it also isn’t as casual as linen pants and shirt sans jacket.

Based in New England, Vineyard Vines sets the standard for the snappy casual groomsman. Take a look…

How adorable are they?!? If you are having a poolside, beachfront, or garden wedding, I would especially encourage you to consider the snappy casual look. Chances are, most of your groomsmen already own khakis and a navy blazer. Just give them their ties as attendants’ gifts and they’ll look just as cute and coordinated as ever!
The Vineyard Vines collection is available online, as well as at their new Georgetown store, located at 1225 Wisconsin Avenue, NW.

Great job Dev!!!!!

Can you comment on the appropriateness (or inappropriateness) of snappy casual at a 6pm wedding that isn’t outdoors?
I am doing an indoor, late summer/early fall wedding in the early evening and I am very inclined to do a ‘snappy casual’ attire for the groomsmen, to go along with Lauren, is this appropriate? Colors are navy, plum and champagne that ranges from dark (almost copper) to light. My question then is that if this is appropriate for the groomsmen, what does my groom wear? He thinks he wants to wear a black tux, so should I scrap the navy and khaki idea?
