Top Suiting Trends for Weddings in 2024 | YSG Tailors
Weddings are a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, and in 2024, this is particularly reflected in the suiting trends. From classic black tuxedos to bold green suits, the options for grooms and groomsmen have never been more exciting. Whether you are planning a grand indoor celebration or a laid-back beach wedding, there’s a suit that will perfectly complement the vibe of your big day. Let’s dive into the top-suiting trends for weddings in 2024.
The Classic Black Tuxedo
The black tuxedo remains an enduring symbol of elegance and sophistication. In 2024, the classic black tux is making a strong statement with slight modern tweaks. Think slim-fit silhouettes, peak lapels, and luxurious fabrics like velvet or satin accents. This timeless piece is perfect for formal evening weddings, giving grooms a look that is both traditional and sharply contemporary. Pairing it with a crisp white shirt, a black bow tie, and polished black patent leather shoes completes the look, ensuring the groom stands out with an air of timeless grace.
The White Tuxedo with Black Lapel
For those looking to make a bold yet refined statement, the white tuxedo with a black lapel is a standout choice in 2024. This style exudes confidence and style, making it ideal for summer or destination weddings. The contrasting black lapel adds a touch of drama and sophistication, ensuring the groom remains the focal point. To perfect this look, opt for black accessories such as a bow tie, cummerbund, and patent leather shoes. The white tuxedo with a black lapel is also a great canvas for personalized touches, such as a vibrant pocket square or a boutonnière that ties in with the wedding’s color scheme.
The Green Suit
Green suits are emerging as a trendy and fresh alternative to traditional suiting. In 2024, shades like forest green, emerald, and sage are popular choices. Green suits are versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on the wedding’s formality. For a formal look, pair a deep green suit with a white dress shirt, a tie in a complementary color, and dark brown leather shoes. For a more relaxed vibe, consider lighter shades of green with a patterned shirt and loafers. This trend is perfect for outdoor weddings, adding a touch of nature-inspired elegance to the groom’s attire.
The Beige Linen Suit
Beige linen suits are the epitome of casual sophistication, making them ideal for beach or summer weddings. Linen’s lightweight and breathable fabric ensures comfort in warm Australian summers, while the neutral beige tone provides a versatile base for various wedding colour schemes. In 2024, beige linen suits are being styled with open-collar shirts, loafers, and minimal accessories for a relaxed yet polished look. To add a bit of flair, consider a patterned shirt or a colourful pocket square. This suit is perfect for a groom who values comfort and style in equal measure.
Styling Tips for Your wedding Suit
Pair with a crisp white shirt
A classic white dress shirt with a wingtip or spread collar is the best match for a tuxedo. However, with the white tuxedo, you could experiment with a black shirt to add some contrast.
Whilst with the green and beige suits you may want to opt for a less formal white shirt. Steer away from styles with French cuffs and go for a simple point collar. These details will complement your outfit, as long as the fit is perfect!
To look your absolute best, you should opt for a custom shirt. Find out more about custom shirting options here.
Accessorize thoughtfully
Don’t miss out on a matching pocket-square and a bow tie to complete the look. These final touches will complete the look. We offer a great selection of 100% silk pocket squares and bowties that make the decision simple.
Choose the right footwear
Classic black patent leather Oxfords are the go-to choice for any tuxedo. They offer a sleek and polished appearance. Whilst with the green and beige suits you may want to opt for something more fitting with the colour palette such as a light or dark brown. Either a monk strap or a loafer is a great choice.
Choosing the right suit for your wedding is a significant decision that sets the tone for the event. In 2024, wedding suiting trends offer a blend of classic elegance and modern flair. Whether you opt for the timeless black tuxedo, the striking white tuxedo with a black lapel, the trendy green suit, or the relaxed beige linen suit, you’ll be stepping into your new life in style. Remember, the key to pulling off any look is confidence and ensuring your suit reflects your personality and the overall theme of your wedding.
