[Part 4] Bridal Guest Coordination

Hello everyone. This is Imamura from the 5th floor of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .
September, October, and November are wedding season, so you'll likely be attending more weddings. This time, we'll introduce recommended bridal guest outfits based on your relationship with the bride/groom. All the suits used in these outfits are based on items that can also be worn for business! You won't end up wearing them on the day and then having them sit in your closet!

Boss/Superior
When dressing for your boss or superiors, it's absolutely essential to avoid any disrespectful attire. Aim for a modest look that conveys the image of a "subordinate who respects proper etiquette."


This time, instead of a plain black suit, I chose one with a shadow stripe pattern on a black background. Shadow stripes are easy to wear for everyday business occasions, but they are also a suitable color and pattern for a classic bridal guest outfit. I chose a white vest and a silver, white, and black regimental tie with a glossy fabric to add a touch of elegance.

Colleagues and Friends <br>When it comes to colleagues from work, friends from school, or close friends, you'll want to add a special touch to celebrate this milestone in their lives. Let's coordinate the gift with the theme of "adding a special touch."


This suit is made of a silk blend in a solid navy color with a subtle sheen that appears brown depending on the angle. Instead of a necktie, I've tied an ascot tie in a necktie style to give the chest area a more elegant look.


Tucking the ascot tie inside your shirt creates a more casual look than the previous knotting method. This is recommended for restaurant weddings and after-parties.

If you are invited to the wedding of a subordinate or someone younger than you , you may be attending as a company representative or as a guest of honor, or as a senior colleague who is well-liked by your junior. Coordinate your attire with the theme of "a dignified senior colleague."


I paired a light gray suit with a silver-gray tie and a gray checkered vest. By unifying the colors, I created a chic impression, while the checkered vest added a touch of sophistication to the outfit.

What did you think? By pairing a suit with a vest, we created a more formal and elegant impression. Paying attention to details like ties and pocket squares can further change the overall look, so please feel free to use this as inspiration!

Next time, we'll introduce checked suits, a must-have item for this autumn/winter season.


Isetan Online Store is also featuring vests, ascot ties, and bow ties to complement formal wear.
