Wedding style isn’t just about the dress. What the groom wears is a chance to show personality, feel confident and create a look that feels right for one of the biggest days of your life.
Whether you already know exactly what you want or you’re firmly in the “it’s just a suit” camp, we asked the wedding menswear experts at Peter Posh how to find your look.
It’s more than just a suit
Your wedding suit plays a big part in how you feel on the day, so style, fit and quality all matter.
“Your wedding suit is a statement of your personality. You want to feel confident on the day, but also look back at your photographs years from now and still feel that you looked your best.”
If you don’t usually wear suits, start by gathering inspiration online, but don’t feel you have to follow every trend.
A classic three piece navy or grey suit is always a great option. Most importantly, get into a showroom and start trying things on.
“You can’t beat seeing how a suit looks and feels on you. It’s often when you discover what actually makes you feel comfortable and confident.”
What are grooms wearing in 2026 and 2027?
Grooms have more choice than ever, from traditional morning suits and classic tailoring to tuxedos, tweed and relaxed destination styles.
For 2026 and 2027, Peter Posh is seeing a focus on quality and lightweight fabrics, alongside browns, beiges, greens and softer sage tones.
Tuxedos are also having a moment, with classic black and navy alongside white for a contemporary take on black tie.
The advice? Think timeless as well as on trend.
“Choose fabrics and colours that feel modern, but will still look timeless in your photographs.”
Dress for your wedding
Your venue, season and overall wedding style can help guide your choice.
City wedding
Think black tie, a classic tuxedo or a sharp three piece suit. Polished, elegant and timeless.
Countryside wedding
Traditional morning suits work beautifully, particularly for marquee weddings, while tweed offers a more relaxed feel. Add colour through your tie and pocket square.
Destination wedding
Beige, cream and lighter colours work perfectly in sunnier settings. Lightweight fabrics such as linen will help keep things comfortable while still looking smart.
Make it personal
You don’t need to choose an unusual suit to show your personality. Often, it’s the smaller details that make the biggest difference.
Think contrasting waistcoats, patterned ties, pocket squares, cufflinks or even a statement pocket watch.
And your groomsmen don’t need to match you exactly.
“We always recommend starting with the groom’s look first, then building the rest of the wedding party around it.”
A different waistcoat, tie, pocket square or accessories can make the groom stand out while keeping the whole wedding party looking cohesive.
Keep an open mind
It’s completely normal to walk into a showroom convinced you want one thing and leave loving something completely different.
“We often see grooms arrive with a very definite idea of what they want, only to try something different and discover a suit they love even more.”
Trying different cuts, colours and fabrics is all part of finding what works for you, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
Make an experience of it
Choosing your suit should be one of the fun parts of wedding planning.
Bring your partner or best man to your first consultation and enjoy the experience. There’s plenty of time to get the rest of the wedding party involved when it comes to fittings.
And if you haven’t thought about your wedding outfit yet? Don’t worry.
The Peter Posh showroom team can guide you through everything from style and fit to those all important finishing touches.
Because it might start with “it’s just a suit”, but when you find your suit, you’ll know.
