What Your Wedding Band Says About You

There's a reason classic wedding bands are, well, classic: They're timeless designs that will always be in style. If your groom is the type of guy who likes to steer clear of trends and wants to keep his look buttoned-up, traditional, and sophisticated, he should shop for a wedding band that fits with his personal aesthetic. Luckily, we found plenty of classic wedding bands that will surely do the job.

But what should a guy look for in a classic wedding band? We suggest choosing a ring that's sleek, simple, and without too many embellishments. A band made of either high-polished platinum or white gold will never go out of style, and he can choose a size and weight that he feels comfortable wearing daily. Those aren't his only metal options, though. Deciding on a classic band doesn't mean your guy has to give up on the idea of color. In fact, yellow gold bands, especially those with a high-polish finish and a rounded shape, have been a popular style choice for newly-married grooms for years. If he'd prefer to match his band to yours, rose gold is another nice option, and it can be surprisingly subtle.

A classic wedding band doesn't mean he's limited to one size or shape, either. We found rings with a matte, textured finish and a polished line at the center and beveled edged, giving a traditional design a unique twist. You can also mix metals; consider pairing platinum and rose gold, or white and yellow gold. Combining timeless metals can be a cool way for your guy to show off his sense of style.

To help him start shopping for his wedding band, click through here for some of our favorite classic rings.
