Male protocol: what should we carry (and what is not) the boyfriend at his wedding

Some experts say that the search for the wedding dress must start with at least twelve months in advance.It is one of the most complicated elections, especially if you are not clear about the type of skirt or neckline that will compose it.But, although you have to take into account some protocol details - the too small designs are not, for example, the most appropriate for very traditional ceremonies - freedom usually floods the choice of brides, who take advantage to reflect their personality in every detail.The bride and groom usually take less to prepare their styling.However, in this case respecting certain standards of label seems fundamental.Better suit or jacket?What are the most appropriate shades?And the tie, are there written rules about it?Gerardo Correas, president of the International School of Protocol clears these, and many other doubts, in an interview granted to Hola.com.

It is the first doubt that assaults many boyfriends, chaqué or suit? This is one of the most common dilemmas that the bride and groom are when choosing the label for their wedding day.The first thing to keep in mind is a fundamental principle: who marks the boyfriend's label?The hosts.They decide the type of ceremony they want to celebrate and the rest of the parameters.Therefore, it is the boyfriend himself who decides the garment he will use.

So we could say that each boyfriend opts for the option that best suits their tastes and the type of wedding? The choice of the jacket does not depend on the moment of the day, but on the greater or lesser formality that you want to give to the ceremony.It will be a mistake to opt for the jacket at an informal wedding, in the same way the use of a suit in a solemn ceremony will be a mistake.The jacket is the most elegant garment for a wedding.By tradition, it was always used in tomorrow's ceremonies, but now it is quite common that is also used in the afternoon.

If the boyfriend finally opts for a jacket, what is the most appropriate color? Traditionally the color of the jacket is black, but fashion has promoted great variations.If you prefer to give a classic image it is best to choose a black Levite, gray striped pants and light gray vest or other soft tones.Anyway, lately the trends are very varied and the range of the blue is increasingly used.We have even begun to see a chaqués with classic prints but that introduce a modernity in the chaqué such as the Prince of Wales or the diplomatic line.

And if a suit is chosen, what should take into account when choosing the tone? The prohibited color for a wedding is the one that does not adapt with the type of ceremony that has been proposed.As a rule the choice of the tone of the suit must be done with dark colors, where black or marengo gray predominates and if perhaps navy blue.If you want to be prudent and elegant, a white jacket does not seem very timely because it will be the center of everything and will take elegance when dressing.

Could the year.Yes, we will have to think about the option of different fabrics based on the greater or lesser room temperature that will be on the day of the celebration.

Once it has already been chosen between suit or jacket, it is the turn of looking for the shirt.An option or the always white shirt has been chosen, without thinking about anything else.Any other color will fall into a label and elegance error to the boyfriend.

There are boyfriends who do not hesitate and wear a tie, but what is really the right thing? If a very informal ceremony has been chosen where the suit does not proceed and much less the jacket, pants and a tie without a tie without.As a general rule, if you have chosen a jacket or suit, the tie must be mandatory, not carrying it would be a clear attack on the image of the boyfriend.The bow tie with a suit or jacket should never take.Another issue is if we were in the United States.

The tie, better smooth, patterned, of neutral or striking shades? It is traditionally smooth, but it is true that the tie is one of those accessories that can clearly reinforce the personality of the one who carries it.As a highly recommended standard for all the bride and groom, it is best to find a tie that identifies him, but not the protagonist of his dress.It is a complement of great importance and that allows many winks, but you have to treat it as such, it cannot be the protagonist.As for whether it is smooth, of stripes, with prints ... at the choice of everyone's taste, but always according to the style of each boyfriend and, of course, fashionable.There are colors and fabrics (satin, metallic ...) that are no longer carried.

Is there any standard on the type of footwear that the boyfriend should wear? For suit or jacket, shoes accompanied by black socks, must be black and with laces.ALWAYS OXFORD TYPE.Moccasins are reserved for other moments.And patent leather shoes are not the most appropriate for the boyfriend.And above all they must be very clean, if it may be that they shine.

Finally, there are men who add a handkerchief to their jacket, what marks the protocol in this case? This is an issue that is part of the tastes of each one.Of course, if you wear a handkerchief in the upper left pocket of the jacket it must always be in a suit, with a jacket never.My personal opinion is that it does not contribute anything to the clothing and it is possible that it distracts on the rest of the garments that are being used.
