A Groom’s Guide to Wedding Day Suit Styles
Grooms deserve their moment too!
Let’s be honest—when it comes to wedding fashion, the ladies tend to steal the spotlight. But grooms and groomsmen, it’s time to suit up and shine! Whether you’re going for timeless elegance, rustic charm, or modern flair, there’s a wedding suit style out there that’ll have you looking sharp and feeling confident. So, let’s dive into the dapper world of men’s wedding attire—no tux-rental trauma included.
1. The Timeless Classic – Black Tuxedo
You can never go wrong with the James Bond of wedding suits. A black tux is clean, crisp, and eternally classy. Pair it with a white dress shirt, black bow tie, and patent leather shoes, and boom—you're instantly the most sophisticated guy in the room.
Best for: Formal evening weddings, black-tie affairs, and anyone channeling Old Hollywood vibes.
2. The Modern Minimalist – Slim-Fit Suit
Tailored to perfection, the slim-fit suit is for the guy who loves clean lines and a modern silhouette. Navy, charcoal, or even light gray works wonders here. Bonus points for pairing it with a tie that has some personality—hello, floral print!
Best for: Modern weddings, city venues, and grooms who love sleek sophistication.
3. The Rustic Romantic – Earth Tones & Textures
Think olive green, tan, or warm brown suits made of linen, tweed, or wool blends. Add a pocket square and leather suspenders, and you’ve got that “Pinterest groom” look nailed. Pairs beautifully with outdoor settings like barns, vineyards, or mountaintop “I dos.”
Best for: Fall weddings, outdoor ceremonies, and vintage-loving grooms.
4. The Coastal Cool – Light and Breezy
Getting married by the beach or somewhere tropical? Ditch the dark colors and go for a lightweight linen or cotton suit in beige, sand, or sky blue. Leave the tie at home and keep things effortlessly chill.
Best for: Destination weddings, summer celebrations, and barefoot vows in the sand.
5. The Bold & the Brave – Statement Colors
Who says grooms have to wear black or gray? Deep burgundy, emerald green, velvet blue, or even a patterned blazer can make a bold style statement. Confidence is key, and if you’re going for it, go all the way with matching accessories and polished shoes.
Best for: Fashion-forward grooms, luxe venues, and anyone who loves to stand out.
6. The All-Black Everything
Not just for galas and award shows—an all-black suit with a black shirt and black tie gives a moody, modern, ultra-sleek vibe. Trust us, it photographs so well.
Best for: Winter weddings, evening receptions, and edgy modern aesthetics.
Style Tips for Grooms:
Fit is EVERYTHING. Even the best-looking suit won’t work if it doesn’t fit right. Tailoring is your best friend.
Match the vibe. Consider your venue, season, and wedding theme when choosing your suit.
Coordinate, don’t clone. Groomsmen don’t have to wear the exact same suit—just keep the look cohesive.
Don’t forget the details. Pocket squares, tie clips, cufflinks, and fun socks? Yes please.
Whether you’re saying “I do” in a black-tie ballroom or on a breezy beach, your suit should make you feel confident, comfortable, and totally you. It’s your big day, too—so wear something worth walking down the aisle in.
Now go ahead, gentlemen… suit up!
