    My FI will be wearing this vest with a white button up, matching grey pants, and possibly one of these two colored ties.  Of course it will match better once I take the vest out shopping. :)  But my question is what should the groomsmen wear?  Unfortunately this vest runs somewhat small and we aren't sure all the groomsmen will be able to fit in it.  My FI would normally wear a medium and the vest we bought him is XL.  Initially we thought the groomsmen could just go buy a grey vest and matching pants (much like the mismatched bridesmaid dress concept) but I'm not sure if this will work.  Will it?  Are there are enough different grey vests that we could find 3 more different ones?  Or should my FI return the vest and get one that runs true to size and have all matching men?  I can tell you right now he won't like that idea. :)

    I say let your FI stand out, and wait for a good sale at Macys or something to find the other guys the SAME vest. I mean, the bride always looks different from the BMs, right? You want your guy to be special!

    Good luck!

    They definitely don't have to match- it's HIS special day too (my humble opinion). Hmmm, if you are having a more casual wedding, you could just have the groomsmen in shirts + ties. It's an idea. But I'm sure lots of Bees will have good ideas for you :o)

    I kind of like the idea of the groom standing out a bit... I mean, you're not wearing the same dress as your bridesmaids, are you? Wink

    I say if the other groomsmen don't fit into it, you can look into other vests to mismatch, but I like the vest, he should keep it either way.
