Wedding Suit: Color, Style, & Boldness

When it comes to wedding fashion, it often feels like the bride gets all the attention. Not with us! We say: All eyes on groom fashion! The groom’s wedding suit actually plays an underrated role in the overall wedding styling. We’ll show you how to find the perfect groom look for your wedding with a little courage, style, and color.

A Stylish Wedding Suit

Before we talk about color: As a couple, you need a shared style. Do you want something edgy and wild, simple and elegant, or romantic and whimsical? Get some inspiration together here—that way, you’ll find the style that suits both of you.

Wedding Suit: What Color Should You Choose?

While brides have only subtle shades to choose from, grooms-to-be have a wide range of colors to choose from. Sure, purple or floral prints are more of an exception, but even setting those aside, there are plenty of options for your wedding suit:

• Black: The classic. Simple, stylish, and easy to pair with anything. Whether it’s accessories in emerald green or burgundy, everything goes with black—even the wedding dress! No matter what shades it comes in.
  
  
• Navy blue, steel blue, or light blue: Blue looks modern and progressive. The darker the shade of blue, the more elegant the suit. Is the bride wearing a dress in shades of ivory? It's a perfect match! Accessories for a blue suit can be chosen in pastel or bold shades. Plus: A navy-blue wedding suit can easily be worn for other occasions as well.
  
  
• Shades of gray: You don’t need 50 Shades of Gray here —two or three will do. Anthracite suits are very much dependent on the fabric. If you choose a shiny gray suit, the look will be very elegant. A matte suit or one made of English tweed, on the other hand, has a vintage look. Gray suits pair well with white, off-white, or blush-colored wedding dresses.
  
  
• Beige: Whether it's a meadow or beach wedding, the beige look is perfect for anything casual and laid-back. A linen fabric and a light shirt—and you'll be the perfect complement to your boho bride!
  
  
• Patterns: It doesn’t always have to be solid-colored. Checkered, pinstripe, herringbone, or the resurgent pepita pattern—subtle patterns make all the difference in creating a refined, stylish look. Be bold with patterns—you’re sure to get compliments!

Playing with materials and fabrics.

When it comes to a man’s wedding outfit, the choice of fabric is at least as important as the color. Virgin wool, linen, and cotton are comfortable to wear and help regulate body temperature. If you choose a suit made of silk and cashmere, you’ll be going for a sophisticated and elegant look.

As you can see, with color, style, and a little boldness, you can pull off just about anything. Still need a little help choosing your wedding outfit? These men’s outfitters know exactly how to do it!
