How to Dress for Your Wedding (and Get It Right)

Your wedding day is not the time to experiment—or to play it safe. It’s the most important outfit you’ll ever wear, and it should reflect your style with timeless confidence.


Start with the classic: a black tuxedo with peak lapels and silk trim. Add the vest. Trust me—once you hit the dance floor and ditch the jacket, you’ll still look put together.

If you want a little more personality without losing that classic edge, go midnight blue or double-breasted. The subtle change in color or cut makes a major impression.

Want to make a bigger statement? Try the ivory dinner jacket. It’s elegant, festive, and ideal for summer weddings or black tie affairs with a twist. Some clients wear it as a second look after the ceremony—a quick change that signals the start of the celebration.

If you insist on going with a suit—make sure it’s special. Skip the boardroom wool and opt for a fabric with richness, depth, and presence. Think deep navy with a touch of sheen or a refined tonal windowpane. Tailored to your exact frame, of course.
