How to Dress for Your Engagement?

When it comes to a man’s own engagement, there are a few options to consider depending on the type of engagement celebration he’s planning. Here are a few tips:

• Formal engagement dinner: If you’re planning a formal dinner to celebrate your engagement, consider wearing a suit or a tuxedo. Choose a classic black or navy suit and pair it with a white dress shirt, black dress shoes, and a tie or bow tie. You can also add a vest or a pocket square for a touch of personality. Here’s our complete formal wear guide for your assistance.

• Outdoor engagement celebration: If your engagement celebration will take place outdoors, opt for a more casual outfit that still looks put-together. Consider wearing dress pants or chinos with a casual button-down shirt, a sweater or a cardigan. For the shoes, go with loafers or dress boots. Avoid wearing shorts or athletic shoes unless the event is specifically casual.

• Casual engagement party: If your engagement will be more casual, you can wear jeans or khakis with a collared shirt or a polo shirt. You can also add a blazer or a sweater to dress up the look and wear dress shoes or loafers to complete the outfit.

• Coordinate with your significant other: If your partner is wearing a formal dress, you wouldn’t want to dress too casually. So it’s important to coordinate with her when choosing your outfit. Many couples also choose to color coordinate their looks and the results can be stunning. Here are some celebrity couples’ matching outfits to help you out.

Overall, it’s important to consider the style and dress code of the event but also to feel comfortable and confident in what you are wearing.

19 – Add a Boutonnière

A boutonnière is a small floral decoration worn by men, typically on the lapel of a suit jacket or tuxedo for special occasions like weddings, proms, and other formal events. It is usually made up of a single flower or a small cluster of flowers that match the color and style of the accompanying formal wear.

I personally find that they look best with black suits so do give them a try.
