Men's Wedding Bands There's no need for matching bands. The groom should love his as much as the bride loves hers.
(Clockwise from top left): Tacori platinum #64-7. De Beers "Fused Lines" platinum. Tiffany & Co. milgrain platinum. Kwiat rose gold. Furrer-Jacot brushed platinum #71-26250-M-0. Benchmark 14K white gold LCF150Wg.
A Formal Affair: Tuxedos All gents cut a dashing figure in a tux, whether it boasts a classic peak lapel (far left), a Victorian-era shawl lapel (second from left), or tails (far right). Even more daring? A white dinner jacket a la Bogart in Casablanca.
A Formal Affair: Watches When selecting your ensemble, ask, "What would James Bond do?" The answer: Pair a killer tux with debonair accessories. For a 007-worthy watch, think sleek. Go for a black leather strap and a gadget-free face.
A Formal Affair: Cufflinks Cuff links may just be a guy's only shot at putting on "fun" jewelry. Seize the day with a unique design element or a nod to a favorite hobby.

A Formal Affair: Shoes Consider slick patent leather lace-ups, or prove that not just Hugh Hefner can sport a slipper. You'll look swanky, not silly, in a pair that's black and not overly embellished.
A Semi-Formal Affair: Suits As he did with his beloved first car, a man will get some serious mileage out of a dark, slim-fitting suit. It's universally flattering and can easily be worked into the business-week rotation after the wedding. For adventurous types, a more formal option turning heads right now is the midnight-blue tux (middle); it's not your grandpa's wedding wear.
A Semi-Formal Affair: Pocket Squares If you're having an early-afternoon reception (or you've just nixed the idea of black tie), choose an impeccably tailored suit and dress it up with a few choice accents. Add a pocket square that complements your tie and--bam!-- your outfit has become an ensemble.
A Semi-Formal Affair: Shoes Step out in style by selecting timeless shoes with softly tapered toes and no ornate detailing. with regular resoling, they'll last for decades.
A Semiformal Affair: Watches A timepiece worn with a tux should be understated, but a special version with bolder numerals and a dark band is just right with a suit.
A Casual Gathering: Suits Garden parties and beach bashes call for a downshift in formality. To look and feel cool all wedding long, pick a pale suit in a breathable fabric like a cotton blend or tropical wool; both wrinkle less than linen. Any of these could be worn with leather sandals, boat shoes, or oxfords sans socks at a seaside ceremony.
A Casual Gathering: Belts Nearly all suit pants are meant to be belted (hence the loops). The "match your belt, shoes, and watch strap" rule applies to black or brown pieces. Considering another color? Use your discretion.
A Casual Gathering: Ties Match your tie to your threads for a polished, monochromatic look, or choose a punchier color from your wedding palette. Then, consider texture: Knit, for example, is more relaxed than silk.
A Casual Gathering: Watches An informal suit can stand up to sportier wrist wear. While digital faces and rubber straps are a little too triathlon, slightly chunkier designs with bells, whistles, and metal bands are spot-on.
