Why Do We Dress Up for Weddings?

Weddings are timeless celebrations of love—and dressing up for them is a tradition that spans generations. Whether it's a formal affair or a modern event, your outfit sets the tone. It’s a day to celebrate, to stand out, and to look your very best.

Get Wedding-Ready with the Suitable Collection

Whether the big day is fast approaching or you’ve just said "yes" and are starting the planning, Suitable is here to help you create the perfect wedding outfit. From full suits to shirts and accessories, our online store offers everything you need to dress in style—whether you're the groom, a guest, or part of the wedding party.

Wedding Accessories: Complete Your Look

Ties

Your choice of tie should reflect the style of your ceremony. A classic, wide tie is ideal for a traditional wedding, while a skinny or narrower option is perfect for a more modern event. A bow tie also remains a popular, timeless choice for formal settings.

Cufflinks

Cufflinks are small but powerful accessories. Choose high-quality designs—or go for something personal that reminds you of a special moment. At Suitable, we offer elegant options that combine craftsmanship and value. Browse our cufflinks collection to find your favorite.

Suspenders

Add a unique touch to your wedding outfit with suspenders. They’re stylish and a great way to coordinate looks among the groom and groomsmen. Match them to your floral theme or wedding palette—it’s a fun, affordable way to create unity and style across your wedding party.

Waistcoats

Set the groom apart with a contrasting waistcoat. Whether plain or patterned, a waistcoat adds an elegant layer and elevates your suit. It’s an essential part of the groom's attire and blends seamlessly with a classic three-piece look.

Wedding Suit: Buy or Rent?

Choosing between buying or renting your wedding suit depends on your style, budget, and goals. Renting is cost-effective and eco-friendly, but purchasing allows you to tailor the suit and reuse it for future events. For the best long-term value, opt for timeless colors like navy, grey, or brown—these shades can be worn on many occasions.

If you plan to tailor your suit, be sure to order in time. Alterations may take multiple fittings, so start early—ideally two months ahead. Wedding prep can be stressful, but planning your outfit early means one less thing to worry about.

Suitable Tips & Tricks for Wedding Attire

• Start shopping at least 2 months in advance to allow time for exchanges and tailoring
• Choose a style that feels comfortable—wedding days are long
• Be open to options—what you didn’t plan for might suit you best
• Try on multiple outfits and take photos to help compare
• Ask for feedback from friends and family, but trust your own instinct
• Double-check sizing and seasonal fabrics—light materials for summer, warmer for winter

Shirts: Classic and Stylish

A crisp white shirt remains the most popular choice for weddings, but off-white and ivory are elegant alternatives that complement any theme. Choose a well-fitted shirt that balances comfort and formality.

Accessorize Your Wedding Look

From ties and waistcoats to socks and cufflinks, it’s the details that complete your outfit. Stick to a cohesive color palette—blue, cream, and ivory are excellent wedding choices. If you're wearing a waistcoat or cummerbund, skip the belt. Choose silver or gold cufflinks for a timeless touch, and add a pocket square to express your personality. Remember, less is more. Aim for harmony with the wedding theme, not overload.

The Perfect Bridal Couple Look

Matching accessories—like ties, suspenders, and pocket squares—help create a cohesive look for the groom and his party. Consider matching accent pieces with the bride’s bouquet or the overall color scheme. For example, light blue ties and pocket squares offer elegance, while taupe or cream adds a warm, refined touch. You’ll find a full range of color-coordinated options at Suitable.
