Paul Andrew's guide to modern wedding suits for grooms
Your wedding day is one of the most significant events of your life, and as the groom, you deserve to look and feel your absolute best. While the bride’s dress often takes centre stage, your suit plays a crucial role in setting the tone for your style and ensuring you stand out on the big day. Here’s a guide to wedding suit styles for the modern groom, tailored to suit every taste and theme.
1. The timeless classic: Black tie tuxedo
For formal evening weddings, nothing beats the elegance of a classic black tuxedo. Featuring a shawl or peak lapel, satin detailing, and a crisp white dress shirt, this option is perfect for black-tie events. A tuxedo exudes sophistication and ensures you look dashing alongside your bride. Pair our Harry black tuxedo with your choice of a paisley or plain bow tie to perfect your look for the big day.
- Best For: Formal and black-tie weddings.
- Style Tip: Add a pocket square and polished patent leather shoes for a sleek finish.
2. The versatile navy suit
A navy suit is a modern favourite for grooms. Its versatility makes it suitable for weddings of all kinds, from casual ceremonies to grand celebrations. Opt for a classic single-breasted style with a matching waistcoat for a polished look. Navy suits also pair beautifully with a range of tie and accessory colours, giving you endless options to customize your look.
- Best For: Semi-formal weddings and outdoor ceremonies.
- Style Tip: Pair with a burgundy tie and tan shoes for a contemporary flair.
3. The statement check suit
For grooms who want to make a bold yet stylish statement, a check suit is a fantastic choice. A navy tweed check suit with subtle burgundy or tan accents offers personality without being overly flashy. Madrid Navy, one of our best-sellers, is the ultimate statement piece! This style is perfect for vintage-inspired or rustic weddings, adding a touch of charm to your look.
- Best For: Vintage, rustic, or countryside weddings.
- Style Tip: Pair with suede shoes and a boutonniere that complements the suit's accent colours.
4. The light and airy beige or cream suit
Perfect for summer weddings or beach ceremonies, a beige or cream suit offers a fresh, light, and modern aesthetic. These suits are breathable and look stunning against sunlit backdrops. Pair with a pastel tie or an open-collar shirt for a relaxed yet refined vibe.
- Best for: Beach, summer, or destination weddings.
- Style tip: Complete the look with brown leather shoes and a floral pocket square.
Customizing your wedding suit
While choosing the right suit is essential, personalizing your look makes it uniquely yours. Consider the following elements:
- Lining and trimmings: Opt for contrasting or patterned linings to add personality to your suit.
- accessories: A tie, pocket square, and cufflinks can tie your look together and reflect your wedding’s colour palette.
- fit: Invest in tailoring to ensure your suit fits perfectly and complements your physique.
