10 Best Suits for Wedding Guests to Wear

Deciding what to wear to a wedding can feel a bit tricky—especially on the suit front. On one hand, you want to look your best for your loved ones’ big day, but on the other, you don’t want to upstage the groom. Instead of opting for that same old suit that you’ve worn to every formal occasion over the last few years, give your suiting game a refresh with a blazer and trouser set that fits the dress code and feels like an extension of your personal style (after all, suits aren’t just suits).

What suit should you wear to a wedding as a guest?

It’s best to wear a suit that you feel comfortable in. But here’s a quick tip for when you have a wedding to attend. If you’re attending a morning or early afternoon ceremony, stick with a medium gray or blue shade for your attire. For evening nuptials, darker options are more suitable since these weddings are typically more formal, with most being black-tie events. And unless the hosting couple indicates otherwise on the invitation, always wear a suit or a tuxedo.

Should a guest wear a black suit to a wedding?

A black suit is a safe option for any wedding. Unless the ceremony is informal, a black suit is one of the most popular choices for male wedding attire. You can also choose other colors, as long as they don’t resemble the wedding party’s color scheme too closely. If you’re in doubt, check in with the best man.
