BTS-inspired looks to make your groomsmen squad stand out at the reception...

Picture this, your best friend has gotten hitched and the next few days are all about the celebrations. From Haldi to Mehendi and then their big day and then comes the reception. A day all about the glam. The groom knows what he is wearing, a classic style tuxedo while the boys have absolutely no idea how to make a statement at their best friend’s reception. Enter: BTS energy. Because honestly, no one wants to be the groomsman who looks underdressed, but showing up in identical, cookie-cutter suits isn’t the vibe either. You want to look like a squad, not a uniform. Stylish, coordinated, and just the right amount of standout without stealing the groom’s thunder.
And if there’s one thing that you can embody from the seven global KPop stars, it is their style. Think coordinated, instead of copy-paste. A style and statement that you can make yours even if you take inspiration from them. It is all about the subtlety of it all. You don’t need the loud colours or the over-the-top fits to make a statement, just a spectrum of greys to stand out in a sea of black tuxes, clean tailoring and each one of you bringing your own vibe to the party. So, if you’re styling your groomsmen squad, here’s how to channel each member’s Arirang aesthetic while keeping it reception-ready.


This one is for the guys who want to keep it classic and look put-together. Kim Namjoon is your blueprint for timeless dressing. Think a structured grey suit, a crisp white shirt and a no-nonsense tie. If you are someone who likes to play safe but still manages to make a statement without even trying. It gives clean, confident and the energy of the leader without even trying.

If you want to go for the classics but in a rather elevated fashion, Kim Seokjin is your man. He sticks to the same old, same old but adds his own polish to the ensemble. You can opt for a slightly richer fabric, a sharper cut and maybe a tie that pops just a little, catching everyone’s eye, just the way you want it to. He is the kind of guest in a reception who looks effortlessly chic and expensive.

It takes a guy more than just the clothes he chooses to wear, to look remotely close to as chic as Suga. He is the low-key cool kind and is all about that relaxed vibe. Think softer silhouettes, maybe opt out wearing a tie like everyone else, because Min Yoongi does not follow trends, he makes them. What you need is to let the suit feel a bit more lived-in. Suga’s style is perfect for the groomsmen who want to look good without looking like they tried too hard. Because one thing about Min Yoongi, he does not have to put an effort into looking good.

If you are someone who likes his style to be more fun but in subtle ways, the only man that fits you best is Jung Hoseok. His style is every bit casual, think textures, pinstripes, maybe a hint of sheen or even a slightly different shade of grey. J-Hope is not loud, but you will always notice when he enters. Pair it with the perfect shades and you are just about good to make an entrance that nobody misses

If you are someone who likes it soft and stylish, look at Park Jimin. He leans more into fluids, and slightly relaxed fits. Maybe go for a draped shirt or a softer blazer cut paired with a waistcoat in the same style and a tie that makes the entire look sleek, if you want to embody Park Jimin’s style. It is elegant but easy and perfect for the fashion-forward guy of the group.

If you are the statement maker of the group, Kim Taehyung is your man. The key is to experiment a little with your fit. Think a double-breasted blazer, maybe vintage-inspired tailoring or go for the wider lapels and a tie that puts the look together with its checkered vibes just like V would. You are still within the dress code, but now your fit has a bit more personality.

This one is for the guys who want to look cool but vintage, sharp and yet simple at best. Your inspiration must come from the youngest of all the seven members, Jeon Jungkook. A style statement in himself, his style is all about the minimal styling, clean lines and a well-fitted suit with a waistcoat that sits right on his torso with an unmissable brooch that makes an entrance before he does. There is no fuss with his look, just a look that works every single time. It is sleek and it is modern just like your vibe.
