Boy’s Formal Wedding Outfits

If your son has a special role in the wedding, say as a page boy or an usher, then you want him to look his very best and whilst high street shops can provide relatively cheap suits, there is almost always a compromise, either on the colour, quality or fit. However his role on the big day may only come once in a lifetime and you don’t want the photos to remind you of an ill-fitting suit or mismatching jacket and trousers when everyone else is dressed up to the nines. Let’s face it, it’s not often that you’ll get your boy into anything resembling a suit, so when the occasion arises you should grab it with both hands and make sure he’s the best dressed boy on the day!

Boy’s Dinner Jackets

A staple of every suit is the smart and classic dinner jacket. Worn with jeans for a casual look favoured by rock stars, or with the full tuxedo effect for the sleek, suave appeal. Boys are instantly transformed into the men you hope they will grow up to be when they don the full dinner jacket. Smart and slick they may be, but they will always remain the apple of your eye!

Formal Dress Shirts

A suit would not be the same without a crisp white shirt underneath. Many boys will prefer one of the coloured shirts but for formal occasions such as a wedding, and especially if you are getting a waistcoat, a white shirt is a must. Whereas a coloured shirt is casual wear, a white shirt is always smart and stylish.

This Plain Wing Collar Dress Shirt is the staple of every good suit. It has a smart white collar, concealed buttons and woven shirt cuffs. It’s a timeless classic that should be seen in every boys wardrobe as it’s not just weddings where this shirt will come in as essential wear.
