How to choose the perfect groom suit: tips and trends
The wedding day is, in general, one of the most beautiful and important moments in life, to be remembered forever. It is a demanding day that requires a lot of organization, even years before the event itself. It starts with the choice of the location, and then continues with the wedding favors, the guest list, the choice of the church or the place where the ceremony will be held, and, of course, also the choice of the dresses.
Generally, the big star of the wedding is always the bride, with more or less voluminous dresses, usually white, embellished with lavish details, such as lace and glitter. On the other hand, the man’s outfit is, often, underestimated. The groom, too, has a chance to make his mark, if he finds the right key and wears the suit that highlights his figure. To choose the perfect groom’s suit, therefore, you’ll need some tips and advice so you can go for it.
Step one: have clear ideas
The first step is to identify your personal style and taste. Imagining yourself on the altar, you will need to have had, at least once, the image of your look, for the big day. For this, start by making a clear distinction between classic and modern. If you love tradition, you will probably have to opt for the usual tuxedo, trying to enrich it and make it original with the trends of the moment. If, on the other hand, you are more avant-garde and want to impress all your guests, the right choice is a slim suit in bold, alternative colors that deviate from the classic black or midnight blue. In fact, for outdoor and less formal weddings, many opt for lightweight fabrics and easier, but still elegant solutions.
But, the man’s suit must also go hand in hand with the style of the ceremony and not just his own style. Surely, a groom at a beach ceremony will have a different outfit than a groom at church. Patterns change, fabrics and colors change. Black and charcoal gray, for example, are perfect for evening or very formal weddings, while beige and pastel are the ideal shades for outdoor weddings celebrated in the spring and summer seasons.
A middle ground is dark blue and navy, elegant and versatile, the excellent compromise for different occasions. Similarly, the fabric should conform to the time of the wedding and the place where the ceremony is held. If we think of summer and outdoor weddings, one of the big players is definitely linen, but also mixed fabrics, which are less prone to creasing. For winter months and indoor ceremonies, stiff, structured fabrics are more suitable.
Why choose a tailored suit
Choosing a tailored suit allows you to build, on you and your silhouette, a dress that can embrace your body and enhance it to the fullest. If you decide to wear a jacket, it should fit snugly around your shoulders, without being tight. The pants should go along with your style, fitting slim if you want a model look or regular for a classic look. These, then, should skim the shoes and not create those unsightly creases, above the ankle. With a tailored suit, success is guaranteed. You will feel the dress sewn on you, it will be perfect for you, your personality and your ceremony.
Trends of 2025
Among so much desire to experiment, a great classic is back this year, namely the tuxedo. When it comes to weddings, this dress is a true evergreen. It is the quintessential evening gown, elegant and never dull. Of course, you can always give a touch of personality to your tuxedo, with different inserts, bold and out of the ordinary colors, particular shirts, which tone down the seriousness of the suit.
One of the most popular tones for this year will be pistachio green, succeeded later by sage green. It seems, therefore, that blue is giving way to a more alternative and unusual color. Let us not forget, then, to enrich the dress with accessories, which are essential to complete the look. These, too, will go to reflect the type of person wearing them, the type of ceremony and the kind of suit chosen. From the tie to the bow tie, to the cufflinks and shoes, everything must travel on the same wavelength, otherwise the groom’s style would lose credibility.
