Boy wedding attire is usually a no brainer – dust off your tux & pair with a button down shirt and tie. It’s a safe & dependable outfit choice, but sometimes your formal wear can end up looking more somber than celebratory. Here are a few easy ways to liven up your outfit and dress for the happy occasion:

Pictured above:

1. Sunglasses – Rayban Wayfarers. Not only are these a necessity at outdoor weddings, they also come in handy for hiding those not-so-manly tears.

2. Man-jewelry – This nail earring makes your suit and tie look less stiff, and more casual cool.

3. Tie – Psycho Bunny Tie by Robert Godley. Ties are serious, but this one’s not.

4. Pocket Square – Essential to the Don Draper look and a great way to add some color to your all black ensemble.

5. Elephant Cufflinks – Banana Republic. If jewelry’s not your thing, cufflinks are another great accessory to add to your outfit.

Most guys I know own about 3 ties, none of which they particularly like. If this sounds like you, you’ll want to check out this tie by New Forest, Motto and Crest’s new line:

This eye-catching tie pulls double duty with it’s tweed-y top and dark wool bottom. I like to think of it as the tie version of a mullet – business on top, party on the bottom. Tone it down for the office by putting it underneath a v-neck sweater or cardigan. Lose the sweater after work and voila! – you’re happy hour ready. Sure to be a conversation starter with the ladies.
