There's no doubt about it: There are so many decisions to be made for a wedding, and these begin long before you're standing across from your partner, staring into their eyes, and saying "I do." From the very moment you decide to pop (or accept!) the question, you'll start chipping away at a lengthy to-do list. What style of engagement ring does my partner want? Where should we have our wedding? What do we wear?
For so many couples, that last question is the big one. Your wedding is arguably the most photographed day of your entire life, so choosing attire that makes you look and feel great—and that you want to look back on forever—is important, but we'd encourage you to actually start thinking about your big-day fashion far earlier. In our opinions, taking a holistic approach to wedding fashion—one that begins with what you wear during the proposal—is key. And if you need inspiration on what to wear during a proposal or engagement photo session, take notes from our latest cover star, Jacopo Moschin, who was dressed head-to-toe in attire from Men's Wearhouse.

On the cover of the Engagement Issue, Jacopo donned a four-piece look from Men's Wearhouse: The "Modern Fit Crew Neck Sweater" from Joseph Abboud, "Slim Fit Suit Pants" from Calvin Klein, the "Leather Dress Belt" from Joseph Abboud, and "Lux Sucks" by Joseph Abboud. The tailored, elevated look is clean, timeless, and comfortable—all key factors for a moment like a proposal, when you're likely dropping down to one knee, or an engagement session, when you want the photos captured to look as good in 20 years as they do today.

"Everyone knows Men's Wearhouse for their wedding attire options, but I encourage grooms to consider visiting a store well before the wedding date is selected," says senior editorial director Gabriella Rello Duffy. "Jacopo's cover look, which is available from the retailer, is perfect for a proposal or engagement photos, and they have a wide selection of options—from casual to formal—that work for every pre- and post-wedding event."
Corinne Pierre-Louis, our senior fashion editor, agrees. "There are very few retailers that have an online and in-store menswear catalog as robust as Men's Wearhouse. As someone who helps grooms get dressed for the big day, shopping for wedding attire isn't an easy task—let alone choosing clothes for an engagement photoshoot—but Men's Wearhouse makes it extremely easy to find of-the-moment styles for any event, from well-known brands like Joseph Abboud, Calvin Klein, and Kenneth Cole."
Her top tip when choosing your attire for pre-wedding events or the big day? For as much as she loves their website ("It's broken down into several categories that help guide individuals in finding the perfect look," she notes), Corinne strongly advocates for finding your look in-store whenever possible. "Shopping at one of their brick-and-mortar stores is an amazing experience—their staff is extremely knowledgeable and can help you pick out an outfit that aligns with your personal style. Not to mention, they have in-store tailors who can help you get the perfect fit, no matter your shape or size," she says.
