Fashionable Suits for the Groom: Colours, Cuts and Details

White or black? Modern fit, lapel and sleeve details, waistcoats and shirts: how a groom can choose a fashionable wedding suit that flatters his build.

Modern suits have a close-fitting cut and accents on the lapels and sleeves in the form of elegant piping or unusual colour combinations.

The groom's wedding-day formal wear is usually a traditional black suit in a 4-button or 6-button style. However, this style of outfit can give an "aged", stiff impression and is a disadvantage for small, slim grooms. A little stylisation at the collar, the sleeves, a diagonal button line... helps the groom solve these shortcomings, while also bringing a fashionable, elegant and luxurious style.

Groom's suits are commonly white or black. White creates a fresh, youthful look and can help slim, small grooms improve their figure. In particular, if the wedding is held outdoors or on the beach, suits in this colour will be very suitable. With a white suit, the groom should pair it with a light-coloured shirt such as white, pale pink or pale blue.

A thin grey piping at the collar will make a white suit look livelier. A groom with a large build and a belly can still wear this style, because the collar piping tricks the eye and keeps the attention of the person facing him away from a large waist.

A black wedding suit can be considered the classic choice, but to create a fresh, modern look, the groom needs to pay attention to the material, the cut and some details at the lapel, sleeves, pockets and buttons. Glossy fabric is trending back in this year's wedding season.

With its two-layer faux-suit design, this outfit is for grooms with personality who like to stand out. The cut of the jacket is simple but elegant.

Alongside stylised, youthful suits, the groom should not overlook the waistcoat and the shirt. A masculine grey waistcoat is always a go-to choice. However, the groom should choose simple pieces that hug the body neatly so they are easy to coordinate and flatter his figure.
