Sure, every man looks good in a classic tux. But I for one am here for all the grooms out there breaking away from the typical black-and-white attire. For the fall wedding specifically, a proverbial feast for the senses, I’m feeling a self-possessed man who is not afraid of color, texture, or pattern. So turn on Queer Eye, and check out these fall style ideas for the extraordinary groom.
Patterned shirt
For a simple way to spice up your wedding look, rock a patterned shirt instead of a plain colored one. Choose a floral pattern specifically to up the romance factor. (We’re not mad about that pocket square either.)

Velvet jacket
We would drape ourselves in velvet if it were socially acceptable. Careful though, your partner won’t be able to keep her hands off.
Jewel tones
Bring out those beautiful eyes with a brilliant jade, emerald, or sapphire suit or jacket.

Once those leaves start changing it’s time to bring out the plaid. But stick to monochromatic patterns, otherwise you’ll risk looking more Kentucky Derby than fall wedding chic.
