Getting married in September and still don't have suits for the wedding party. Bridesmaids will be in emerald green. I originally wanted the suits to be beige/tan because it's an outdoor daytime wedding with a garden party vibe, but my fiancé was very adamant that he didn't want tan because he's mixed race and "look what they said about Obama!" So I told him in that case I'd prefer either light gray or black (not garden party vibes but it at least wouldn't clash with the other colors too bad).
He went yesterday with his best man to pick out suits and tbh I'm just grateful they didn't buy anything because I hate what they picked out. The best man is very opinionated on style and when he heard "daytime in September, emerald bridesmaid dresses" and saw a pic of my dress he decided to go full cottagecore. I ended up getting sent photos of my fiancé in emerald pants, a sage vest, and an ivory jacket and it's not at all the vibe I was wanting and frankly I didn't think it even looked good together.
I don't want to go full bridezilla on this because it's already been really hard on fiancé (his family is crazy and have been not only unsupportive but completely opposed to us getting married) and I got to pick out what I'm wearing so my fiancé should be able to pick out what he's wearing too, but he's trying to match a dress he's never seen before and the best man and I have very different styles.
When he got home from trying on suits I told him I didn't love the idea of everyone being in green, it was too much for me, and I'd really just prefer light grey or beige for the men, with a strong preference for beige. Come to find out my fiancé was JOKING about not wanting beige because of Obama 🤦♀️ I probably would've figured out that he wasn't serious about it a lot sooner but he's generally very easy going so when he said he didn't want beige I didn't push it.
I guess next time I just have to go with them to go suit shopping. Was kinda hoping this was one thing I could delegate but apparently not 😂
I've never owned a summer suit, and I have a long trip to France this summer that feels like a good prompt to expand my wardrobe with one. I'll want to wear it at a couple fancy restaurants in Paris and perhaps at something like the opera. I'm curious about folks' color. I'm particularly curious about whether some of the lighter colors would be appropriate in, for example, a Michelin 3 star restaurant in the evening. Light grey seems like an obvious choice, but I'd appreciate folks weighing in. I'm a fairly pale skinned tall and thin white guy.
I've liked Suit Supply in the past, so that's where I checked first. I saw some light grey, light green, light blue, and sand options that looked good. My biggest hesitation though is whether they'd work in an evening situation like the one it'll specifically be for. Thanks in advance!
Hey guys,
Have a wedding (formal attire) that I'll be attending in may and originally I had planned to finally consider biting the bullet and going for a tailored suit but decided to leave that for another day mostly due to the cost and time frame to the wedding (4-6 weeks and would be cutting it very close).
To keep things short, ended up finding a nice light grey suit online thanks to some recent sales.
I had a couple of ideas in mind in terms of shirts / pants i.e, going for a two piece suit sort of look but not entirely sure on colour / accessories and I would love to hear your thoughts / opinions and suggestions around colour options, ties, pocket squares and other accessories based off of the photo's i've taken so far.
Colour options per the photo's but as per above open to other ideas:
Shirts - burgundy, navy, black, white
Pants - light grey, steel blue / navy
Not shown, at the time I was wearing a brown belt and shoes (chelsea style) but I do also have black alternatives of both.
Thank you in advanced,
Sneccers.
Hi! Just looking for some advice on choosing a suit color for groom and groomsmen. For some details about our wedding, We are having a summer wedding, the ceremony will be in a rose garden! I really like the color sea glass from birdy grey for bridesmaids however I'm not sure what suit color would match this color as well as a garden 'vibe' any ideas? Or should I consider changing bridesmaid dress color to something more summery? Thank you!
A light gray, or tan color would work and would likely be a more breathable material. You could also just have them in a colored shirt, with bow ties, and suspenders for a more dressed down look depending on formality.
I recommend getting a few swatches of the dress colors and then looking at suits that would be available to rent with the swatches. You could also just see what’s more “in style” or in season when you go to look.
There are pics online for inspiration. Choose what you love.

What color suit should my groom wear? What can he do to look different than his groomsmen?? My dress has a darkish tanish/nude color underneath. Bridesmaids are in sky blue. And my mother’s dress is a dark purple. What color should I do the FOB and FOG and ring bears?! It is a formal wedding…. Would black be okay?! A blueish color?? My groom and I are pale, tan/beige. Wedding is in 2 months. Thank you for all your suggestions! I have been stressed about this decision for months
Bride is wearing white, bridesmaids are wearing blush. Church wedding, reception is rustic. Not interested in a black tux. Help me out!
So I’m attending a wedding pretty soon and thinking about going in a suit that’s obviously normal right? lol so I’m kinda debating on what color looks best? My friend who’s the groom will be in a green suit not an ugly green btw lol but does it matter what color suit I wear or should I kinda try and match their theme? Without copying his color suit
Hi ladies and gents,
I’m getting married in October and this is the color of my fiancés bridesmaid dresses.
I have to begin planning suits for my groomsmen and I to match/compliment.
I truly do not know which way to go for myself or my groomsmen -
What are your thought? Thanks!
Currently my only suit is black and will be attending wedding in Tennessee this summer. Also just generally often attend summer weddings.
Was considering getting either light grey, charcoal grey or tan. Likely linen, light wool or a blend.
Which color between the three would you think would be best? Thank you!
Hey y'all my partner is really struggling to pick a suit colour. We're getting married in a green mountain/forest setting in a all white chapel.
He's worried about it not fitting the setting. Any suggestions and help would be more than appreciated
Thank you!
Maybe order suit swatches and see which color meets your requirements the best ? Emerald , sage , olive green or may be tan or beige shade? There are a lot of good options to consider .. You can look at Pinterest for inspiration or see if you can find pictures of couples who have married at same location.
He is way overthinking. Every single suit color will look fine. both in your general setting , and more specifically in a white chapel.
I'm getting married in June! And I have no idea where to start on what I'm wearing!
I've been reading the MFA guide to dressing on your wedding day, but I think I'm still confused on some of the basics, and could definitely use some advice. I'm getting married in the Summer in Philadelphia, so it's going to be a little warm I think. The venue is somewhat formal, but also really fun and interesting - here's a couple of pictures from another wedding there.
I'm confused a bit on the different materials of suits, and the whole suit vs. tuxedo debate. I'm thinking I would want a lighter material because it'll be a little warmer, and I'm leaning more towards a suit than a tuxedo. I like the colors in this photo from the MFA guide - but not really sure what it is (blueish charcoal?). Also, I really like the whole groomsmen get suits, groom gets vest and suit, but I'm not really sure what that's called. A vested suit?
Also - where do I buy a suit?! I have a suit from Theory that I bought on eBay when I was 18, and a suit from Top Shop that I bought in NYC a few years ago, and they both fit me fairly well without alterations (size 38 on both). I tend to shop at stores that have slimmer cuts, because they usually look better on me.
I'm leaning more towards a suit just because I don't like how formal tuxedos are, and I'd like to be able to buy a suit and have it tailored. I'd also like my groomsmen to be able to buy suits, or use ones they already have, rather than renting something specifically for the day of. I feel like there's too much that could go wrong with that, especially since we are a bit spread out.
To sum it all up, my questions are:
-
What material should I be looking for in a suit
-
Where should I be looking?
-
Suit vs. Tuxedo
-
Vested suit?
-
Anything to help me stand out as the groom / what groomsmen should be wearing
-
Any other advice you have for me
Sorry if this post is a bit all over the place, I don't really know where to start with this, and I just have a ton of thoughts in my head with no cohesive element to bring them together.
EDIT: My budget is around 1k, but would rather spend less if possible. I could spend more if I thought it was worth it - but I'd like for groomsmen's suits to be a bit more affordable (maybe closer to 450) so that I can contribute some and bring the price down further for them. definitely looking for recommendations about where to shop
Suit vs. Tuxedo is personal, but go with shawl lapel or peak lapel if you go the tuxedo route.
vested suit is generally just called a three piece suit
color you are looking for is probably called slate
biggest advice: probably get the future wife's input as to whether you are going for something more formal or laid back.
Are you in the Philly area? I got my suits for my groomsparty at my local tailor. He gave me a deal where if we ordered 5 suits my suit was free. I really prefered it this way because all of my groosmen can continue to use the suits for any other occasion and its not an obnoxious (green/pink/turquoise/ converse sneakers, etc.) outfit where you'll never want to be seen in them again.
Everyone loved it and looked great. Each suit was $279. He does offer a cheaper ($229) suit, but its part polyester,
I did a mid grey 100% wool 2 piece suits for my guys, and then I did a 3 piece navy and gold suit for myself. Hes a great tailor and can do anything you ask him to, we all looked amazing.
If you would like I could PM you some more info, and you could go check out his shop, he does great work. I've recommended him to 2 other wedding parties and they have been satisfied as well.
Here is the color I chose + how it looks on one of my bridesmaids. We’re doing “sunset terracotta” color scheme for the flowers for a pop of color as the venue is heavily wooded/lots of greenery. What suit would match this the best? July wedding, if that sways you one way or the other.
My husband only owns one suit and it is grey. It somehow came up that he’d be wearing that suit to my friend’s wedding, and she asked if he could not wear that one because the groom is wearing a grey suit. We didn’t know the groom would be wearing grey. The other kicker is that the groomsmen are wearing navy and she doesn’t want him to match them either. What other color options do the men have?!?!? I’m trying to be understanding but I think she’s doing too much.
