Planning what to wear as the groom shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Whether you're going for a classic black tux or a beachy linen vibe, the goal is simple: look sharp, feel confident, and suit the season.
Here’s a clear and practical checklist to help every groom get it right — plus some pro tips from our Melbourne store team who’ve dressed thousands of weddings.
🧥 The Groom’s Wardrobe Essentials
No matter the season, start with these core items:
-
Suit or Tuxedo – Your main event piece. Go Made-to-Measure for a flawless fit and personalised details that elevate your whole look.
-
Shirt – Crisp, white and high-quality cotton is a safe bet for timeless wedding photos.
-
Tie or Bow Tie – Match your theme, complement the bridal party, and keep it refined.
-
Pocket Square – Small detail, big impact.
-
Belt or Braces – Only if needed, and make sure they match the shoes.
-
Dress Shoes – Polished, clean and comfortable enough to last all day and night.
-
Socks – Match your trousers, not your shoes. Trust us.
☀️ Summer Weddings
-
Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics like linen or cotton blends.
-
Lighter colours work well: sand, beige, pale grey or dusty blue.
-
No tie? Go for a sharp open collar — but make sure the shirt is structured enough to stand on its own.
-
Consider loafers or soft leather shoes for a relaxed finish.
Pro Tip: Our linen-look Made-to-Measure suits are a hit for European summer weddings and destination events.
❄️ Winter Weddings
-
Stick with heavier fabrics like wool or wool blends.
-
Rich colours like navy, charcoal, or forest green add warmth and depth.
-
Layer with a vest or a three-piece suit for extra polish (and comfort).
-
Add a tailored overcoat if you’ll be outdoors for photos.
Bonus: Our in-store stylists can help you select fabrics that not only look great but feel right for your setting and time of year.
