The 13 Best Men's Wedding Suits

Let’s be honest: Purchasing a wedding suit can feel like a daunting task, even for the most seasoned shopper. While tuxedos are usually reserved for black-tie weddings and other formal events, wedding suits are more versatile and can be worn to honor various types of wedding dress codes, from casual ceremonies to black-tie optional events.

A suit's silhouette, season-appropriate fabrics and colors, and accessories (think pocket squares, ties, and cufflinks) are all essential factors to take into consideration when picking out a wedding suit. You'll also want to think about the fit (slim, regular, relaxed, etc.) Of course, you should also pay attention to the sizing for the jacket and pants, and the retailer's return policy—especially if you're buying a suit online before trying it on.

If you're attending a formal wedding, look for suits in darker colors like navy, black, and charcoal. For casual weddings, you can opt for lighter colors that go with the season. For example, light blue and tan are great for summer.

To make life easier, we researched and curated a selection of men’s wedding suits, considering their silhouette, color, material, and overall quality. For a tailored and classic look, our favorite options are the J.Crew Ludlow Slim-fit Suit and the Ralph Lauren Gregory Wool Twill Suit. For something more light and on-trend for a spring or summer ceremony, the Brunello Cucinelli Linen and Wool-Blend Suit is our top pick.

The windowpane design on this suit is perfect for grooms seeking out a suit with a pattern.

Made of 100 percent super 110s wool, this pick will take you through the summer and winter seasons with ease.

Wool suits are great for fall and winter, but the breathable material can actually work any season. We love this one from Suitsupply, which boasts a slim fit and lightly padded shoulders for a formal-leaning silhouette. As for the trousers, you're looking at a classic tailored fit with slanted side pockets, buttoned back pockets, and an after-dinner split. The deep navy hue is not only seasonless but also timeless, so you can count on wearing it again and again.

Jacket Size Range: 32–40 | Pant Size Range: 26–44 | Fit: Slim | Materials: Wool | Shipping: Rates vary | Return policy: Within 30 days

Charcoal is another great alternative to black and navy. The dark hue is versatile and generally seasonless, and while it could work for a black-tie event, it's not as formal as a black tux. With that said, we like this charcoal suit from Express, with its modern slim-fit cut and dapper detailing. Another reason to add it to your cart?Express accepts returns within 60 days of your purchase, so you have plenty of time to try it on at home and send it back if it's not quite right.

What to Look For in a Men's Wedding Suit

Dress Code

When it comes to shopping for a wedding suit, there are a few factors to take into consideration. First, the dress code. If the wedding calls for formal attire, opt for impeccably tailored suits in classic colors like navy and black. For a more statement-making look, go for a three-piece style, like the Jos. A. Bank 1905 Collection Tailored Fit Textured Suit.

For a casual dress code, opt for less structured silhouettes and forgo ties and pocket squares for a more laidback aesthetic. For instance, the relaxed-fit Brunello Cucinelli Linen and Wool-Blend Suit is less stuffy than more tailored options in darker hues.

Season

Next, consider the time of year. Spring and summer weddings are all about suits in lightweight fabrics like linen and cotton. Fall and winter weddings call for thicker wool fabrics in deeper hues like burgundy and emerald green, such as the Brooks Brothers BrooksGate Regent-Fit Windowpane Wool Twill Suit.

Personal Style

Lastly, don't be afraid to showcase your personal style! There are many different ways to accessorize your wedding suit from eye-catching ties and bow ties to sleek tuxedo shoes and statement-making socks.
