Wedding Suit Designs for Men

Many feel that men's apparel for a wedding falls into two categories---suits or tuxedos. Fortunately, even if a suit is essential for the wedding, there are accessories and options to match the design with the wedding and with the man's personality.

Suit Style:

Suit styles vary from double-breasted to sports jackets. Based on the formality of the wedding, choose a formal or informal style.

Vest:

Similar to tuxedos, some suits can be accessorized with a vest. Vests are available in many patterns and colors so it's easy to find one that fits the wedding colors or the personality of the person wearing it.

Tie:

Tie prints range from traditional to wacky and fun. Wearing a tie with wedding bells or a plain-colored tie that matches the bridesmaid dresses are alternatives that will add a sense of style to the outfit.

Buttons:

Button up your suit jacket or leave it undone. Button it if you need a more formal look and unbutton it for less-formal occasions.

Fabrics:

The materials that are used to make suits vary. In hotter climates, fabrics such as cotton or linen may be more appropriate. In cooler environments, wool and cotton blends may serve as stylish wedding suits choices that also keep you warm.

Types of Wedding Suits

Usually when we think of men's wedding attire, traditional tuxedos is the thing that comes to our mind. Just like women, men also have choices when it comes to wedding suits. Though men do not have as many choices as women, there are choices available nevertheless. Wedding outfit for men varies from laid back and casual to black-tie formal.

Formal:
Men's formalwear should be 3 pieces and consist of a tuxedo jacket and pants, along with a cummerbund or vest. The tuxedo jacket can be either single breasted, double breasted or three buttons, based on groom’s preference. Both bowties and neckties are acceptable. Match colors to the bridal party, or base them on time of day. For daytime weddings, lighter colored suits and accessories work well, whereas the darker suits are appropriate for evenings. Pair a three-piece suit with a pair of shiny patent dress shoes.

Semi-Formal:
Men’s semi-formal wedding attire is a scaled-down suit. The bridegroom would be dressed in a jacket and pants, preferably with a tie. Tuck shirts in, and opt for a cotton-dress material. Go for a tailored suit, not a relaxed one. For daytime, Lighter shades are suitable but avoid them for evening weddings. Men should match up the Mens suit with a loafer or dress shoe.

Beach Casual:
Beach casual wedding attire for men is apt for a beach, backyard or any other sort of outdoor wedding. Men's wedding apparel for beach casual would include a loose-fitting shirt made of cotton or linen and a pair of cotton or linen slacks. The bridegroom can wear the shirt either tucked in or out of the waistband of the slack. A light sport jacket can also give a beach casual wedding outfit more of a suit feel. Groom can either go barefooted or pair the outfit with sandals or slip-on shoes. The color palate often consists of natural shades of brown, green and blue.
