One easy way to make a mark is with a different suit. This is probably the easiest way to stand out and you’ve plenty of options – opt for a suit in a different cut, style, colour, print or fabric to your groomsmen.
Play Around with Colour or Texture

Another way to make your mark is by wearing a jacket or trousers in a different colour. You could opt for a dapper blazer in green or burgundy (or velvet to you set yourself apart) or wear a navy suit while the boys wear grey for instance. You could tie the look together by wearing a waistcoat in the same shade as your groomsmen’s suit.
Have Fun with Accessories

Accessories are a subtle way to set the groom apart. One option is to have the guys wear ties, while the groom dons a bow tie (or vice versa). The other option is to change up the buttonhole colours – the grooms can have one colour while the groom stands out in a completely different shade. Other little details like braces or a pocket watch can set the groom apart nicely.
Wear a Waistcoat

A waistcoat is another way to stand out from your crew. You could rock one all on your own or if you fancy having the entire grooms party decked out in waistcoats, you could opt for a different colour.
Opt for a Patterned Shirt

If you’ve a bit of a thing for a patterned shirt, why not work it into the Big Day! You could don a fun print for the occasion and let your personality shine through while the others wear something plain.
