The perfect suit for the groom

Ideas and tips for the ideal groom look

Choosing a groom’s suit is a crucial moment in wedding planning. It must reflect the groom’s personality and harmonise with the style of the ceremony. This guide offers ideas and tips to help every groom-to-be find the ideal look for their wedding day.

The classic suit: the versatile and refined evergreen

The classic suit in dark shades such as blue or grey is a timeless choice for all kinds of ceremonies and parties. This look, consisting of a white shirt with inverted cuffs, a matching waistcoat and a tie or bow tie, combines elegance and versatility. Although it may seem like a predictable choice, a classic, well-groomed suit never disappoints. Its sophistication and sobriety make it suitable for any formal event, offering the possibility of being reused with different combinations for other occasions. It is important not to be misled by the term “classic”. In this context, “classic” indicates a tailored suit that, while respecting ceremonial traditions, also incorporates modern styles and trends.

The dinner jacket: timeless elegance

The dinner jacket represents the epitome of male sophistication. It is a very classy suit but less versatile than the classic suit. Perfect for evening or formal weddings, the dinner jacket is synonymous with impeccable style. The classic black dinner jacket with white shirt and bow tie is a safe choice, but modern variants in midnight blue or with satin details can give a contemporary touch. Today, many grooms opt for dinner jackets with more modern cuts, such as the slim-fit dinner jacket, which offers a slimmer, more fashionable silhouette. Also consider options such as velvet or jacquard fabrics for a unique and sophisticated look.

The tailcoat: originality and exclusivity

For those who wish to stand out with an original outfit, the tailcoat presents a fascinating challenge. This suit, one of the most formal, is characterised by the “swallowtail” jacket, to be worn buttoned in one place. In the wedding context, the tailcoat is completed with a white shirt, bow tie, waistcoat or white sash, cufflinks, silk socks, and black patent leather shoes. This look, when worn with style, transforms every groom into a perfect gentleman.

The tight and half tight: style and formality

The tight is perfect for very formal or traditional weddings. This three-piece suit with long jacket, waistcoat and striped trousers represents the ultimate in formality and elegance. Complete the morning suit with a top hat, white gloves and an ascot tie for a touch of class. Don’t forget polished leather shoes for a flawless look. The half-tight is a versatile choice, suitable for daytime or semi-formal weddings. It has only been back in fashion for a few years and is an increasingly popular choice among young brides and grooms. It offers the sophistication of the morning suit without the excess of formalism, combining elegance and comfort. For a cohesive look, combine the half-tight with a waistcoat and tie in matching shades. Also consider a shorter jacket and well-cut trousers for a balanced, modern outfit.

Braces & Papillon: the elegance of the vintage look

To achieve a vintage, cool yet chic look, match braces and bow ties to the groom’s suit. Braces are particularly popular in boho and vintage weddings, adding a distinctive and refined touch to the groom. The vintage style combines elegance and originality, perfect for celebrating with class in a retro atmosphere.

Essential accessories: complete your look

After choosing your suit, it is time to focus on the accessories that will complete the look, adding unique details that reflect your personality. Elegant leather shoes, paired with a belt in the same colour, are essential for a harmonious ensemble. For less formal ceremonies, loafers or brogue shoes can offer elegant comfort without sacrificing style. The choice between tie and bow tie depends on the degree of formality of the event. Finally, cufflinks are a refined touch that can further enhance your outfit, giving personality and class to your wedding look.
