On a wedding day, a man's appearance should live up to the occasion. Not as fashion. As honouring the day and the person he's marrying.
The choice depends on the time, location and atmosphere you and your future spouse have chosen.
The tuxedo belongs to the evening and the formal. The suit is more versatile and can be worn again after the day. Both can elevate a wedding day, as long as the choice is intentional.
The traditional frame. Black or midnight blue, satin lapels, satin stripe down the trousers. Worn with a bow tie and white tuxedo shirt with double cuffs.
More versatile. Can be worn again at formal occasions. Choose based on season, location and atmosphere. Tie or bow tie depends on the dress code.
Choose based on season, photo environment and how formal the day is. A tone too light feels informal in winter. Too dark feels heavy in summer.
A good wedding suit should feel effortless. Not restrictive, not overstyled. Just correct.
The groom must be recognisable as the groom. The difference doesn't need to be large, but it must be clear enough in a photograph.
Subtle adjustments work better than large contrasts. Let the colour palette follow the groomsmen, and let the detail set the difference.
Six variants cover the spread from everyday formal to the most ceremonial.
The groom's cut should stand in clear relation to the groomsmen's without competing. A shade of difference in the material, a peak where the others have notch, or a double-breasted where the others have single-breasted. Choose one difference and let the rest follow the palette.
The classic suit lapel. Modest, versatile and timeless. Suited for everyday formal and business wear. A safe choice that never stands out.
The peak points up and out, visually extending the silhouette. Adds authority and signals a formal occasion. The right choice for double-breasted suits and weddings. With the right width, a peak lapel emphasises the shoulders.
The notch sits lower on the chest, extending the jacket's opening. Understated and relaxed. A modern answer to the classic jacket.
House designThe peak retains the ceremony while the low gorge gives a longer, softer line. A statement without shouting. Suited for modern weddings and evening events. With the right width, a peak lapel with low gorge emphasises both chest and shoulders.
Two rows of buttons with notch lapels. Broader silhouette and more material in the front. Classic choice for formal dinners and weddings where the jacket is worn closed all day.
House designThe most ceremonial silhouette in a man's wardrobe. Peak lapels and two rows of buttons signal a top-tier occasion. For big days when you may fill the room.
Renting solves the task on paper. A made-to-measure suit solves the task and gives you a garment you can wear again and again.
A rented suit rarely fits as it should and is typically a cheap polyester product. A made-to-measure suit fits exactly as it should, is made of natural materials and is designed to your preferences. The difference shows especially in photographs, where the fit is frozen forever.
Invest in a made-to-measure suit and you also have a suit you can wear at coming events. The material and cut can be chosen so it can also be worn at less formal occasions with a different shirt and tie.
A wedding suit must sit so you forget you're wearing it.
The shoulder seam hits the shoulder tip. The jacket ends mid-hand. The trousers fall cleanly without gathering above the shoe. The cuff shows half a centimetre below the jacket sleeve.
Order the made-to-measure suit three months before the day. That allows time for two fittings and adjustments. You'll feel the difference when you stand well prepared on your big day.
Details should pull together, not compete. The suit carries the image. The rest supports.
| Element | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Shirt for tuxedo | Crisp white tuxedo shirt with pleated or smooth front, double cuffs. We recommend bringing a colour sample from the bride's dress so the shirt doesn't create an unfortunate contrast. |
| Shirt for suit | Off-white or pale blue wedding shirt in fine cotton, single cuffs. We recommend bringing a colour sample from the bride's dress so the shirt doesn't create an unfortunate contrast. |
| Tie or bow tie | Tuxedo calls for a black silk bow tie. For a suit, choose a silk tie in a toned colour. |
| Shoes | Black oxfords for tuxedo. Black or dark brown oxfords for suit. |
| Pocket square | White linen pocket square for tuxedo. For a suit, a colour pulled from the bride's bouquet creates a soft link. |
