Key Takeaways
Groom outfit ideas can range from classic menswear pieces to bold, custom options. It’s important to find styles that fit the formality of your wedding, your body’s unique shape, and your personal style.
Over the past few decades, groom outfit ideas were often limited to traditional suiting options ranging from tuxedos to classic, tailored suits. However, menswear rules are fast changing—and many to-be-weds are pushing the boundaries when it comes to their wedding wardrobe. Dressing up in the perfect ensemble that fits their personality and style is now a major part of a groom’s wedding day checklist.
Whether you want to learn how to find a perfectly tailored suit or push the boundaries with a creative, custom look, we break down everything to know about groom attire ahead.
Modern Rules of Groom Attire
“I would almost say there are no rules,” shares Tanner Fletcher designer Fletcher Kasell of the modern groom’s wedding attire. “We get grooms of all kinds: some people are more over the top, and some want to dabble in a little ruffle here and there. I always recommend that grooms go just a touch outside of their comfort zone.”
The only real fashion rules will be the ones you set yourself as the dress code. If the event is black tie, it’s likely you would like to follow suit in a tuxedo. However, the to-be-weds are the stars of the show and can always breach the rules for their own wardrobes. Don’t be afraid to stand out in something a little different from your guests.

For his Pasadena nuptials, groom Kyle Robiskie donned a true classic—a Ralph Lauren Purple Label tuxedo in black with a white collared shirt and black bow-tie. The clean, sharp silhouette of the tuxedo makes it an easy choice for a black-tie ceremony, while the lack of studs on the shirt helps lend the look a more modern edge.
