Upping the Ante on Wedding Suits

Style Advice | Weddings
October 22 2024

While the bride’s gown often steals the spotlight, Working Style believes the groom’s suit deserves equal thought and consideration. A well-chosen suit should enhance the overall vibe of the wedding, transforming it from an afterthought into a deliberate choice that reflects the couple’s unique style. Instead of settling for a “stock standard” option, grooms are encouraged to invest in their look, ensuring it complements the wedding’s aesthetic and showcases their individuality.

Fabric Selection
When selecting your wedding suit, consider how different fabrics like linen, wool, and silk blends can truly elevate your look. Each fabric adds its own unique depth and sophistication, making your outfit stand out on your special day.

Seasonality plays a big role in your fabric and colour choices. For summer weddings, opt for light fabrics like linen in soft hues like beige or pastel shades. As the weather cools, richer, warmer tones are perfect for autumn, while elegant, darker shades work beautifully for winter ceremonies. Tailoring your suit to the season will ensure you look and feel your best on your special day.

Colour
Who says a wedding suit has to be black? Consider colour options that reflect your style but also the rest of your wedding elements! Soft shades work beautifully for a garden wedding, while rich, deep tones suit a formal evening affair. For rustic celebrations, earthy hues can enhance the natural beauty of your surroundings. By coordinating your suit with the colour scheme, bridal party and florals, you’ll create a cohesive and stunning look for your special day!

Outfit Change
Just as many brides opt for a second dress to transition from the ceremony to the reception, grooms can elevate their wedding style by considering a different jacket for the reception. This not only allows for a shift in vibe—from formal to festive—but also enhances comfort throughout the celebration. A tailored dinner jacket can easily be swapped for a lighter, more playful blazer that reflects the wedding’s colour palette or theme, allowing grooms to express their personal style.

Personal Style and Expression
As you choose your wedding suit, don’t be afraid to incorporate your personal style while still respecting the wedding theme. This is your day, after all! Consider unique details like custom jacket linings, personal embroidery, or distinctive accessories such as your favourite watch. These touches will not only reflect who you are but also add a personal flair to your ensemble.
