For a long time, the suit has been regarded as fashionable attire that shows one's class and is often worn on important occasions, especially on the wedding day. Below is a collection of Korean-style wedding suits to meet the needs of modern Vietnamese grooms.

Unlike European wedding suits, the Korean-style groom suit is designed with a slim, body-hugging cut that suits quite a lot of body shapes, especially the build of Vietnamese grooms, who are usually of small or medium frame. Where a European-style wedding suit brings luxury and authority, a Korean wedding suit gives the groom a youthful, captivating look with an air of elegance. The similarities in culture and aesthetics between Vietnam and South Korea have also made Korean suits generally popular with many Vietnamese men.

Wedding suits usually come in black or deep, muted tones such as toasted sand, light grey and beige, and may have piping or a stylised blended collar, in the Korean slim cut, with one button and a small lapel of 5 to 7 cm. This type of suit is well proportioned for the physique of Vietnamese grooms and makes them look elegant yet no less masculine.

Korean-style wedding suits in strong tones such as cobalt blue, camel and burgundy give grooms an even richer choice of outfit for their big day. A light or grey suit also makes the wedding photos look better, and the groom can wear it again on other occasions such as festivals, Tet, birthdays or simply an anniversary.

Fabrics for Korean-style groom suits

The fabrics a groom can choose are soft, thin ones such as Korean cashmere and Singapore cashmere. Men should not choose thick or coarse fabrics, because they make the wearer feel hot, uncomfortable and irritated.

As for colour, the groom must pay attention to the bride so that both look good and are "in tune" with each other. As for accessories, the buttons that come with the suit must match, along with the colour of the tie or bow tie, to set off the outfit.

In addition, there are piped, blended and mixed-collar styles that look good and are fashionable. Depending on body shape, age and taste, each groom can be advised differently so that the suit looks good and suits him.

In fact, Korean-style groom suits are a very hot trend for the 2020 wedding season, and Korean wedding suits are regarded as a suitable choice for Vietnamese grooms. But where should you choose a Korean-style wedding suit that is reliable in both quality and price? The general market price for a Korean-style wedding suit today averages VND 1.9 million to VND 2.5 million. Customers usually judge a product by its price, while product quality is something most people either cannot assess accurately or do not care much about. And a higher price does not necessarily mean better quality. Therefore, the groom should choose wedding suit tailors with an established brand and many years of reputation, who are easy to contact so that the timing of his wedding outfit is assured.
