If you delve into the signs, you will suddenly find out that the presence of a white suit threatens the groom with troubles both at the wedding and in family life. However, it is worth being pragmatic and remembering that it is simply impossible to take into account absolutely all the signs when planning a wedding. Moreover, there is nothing more comfortable for the groom at a summer wedding celebration than a light white suit. So should I buy or not buy a white outfit for the groom?
Most likely, the responsibility for choosing a wedding look for a man falls on the shoulders of his future wife. And in order not to choose an outfit without thinking, you should take into account some parameters of the ideal suit.
The nuances of choosing a three-piece suit for the groom
Men's three-piece wedding suit.
The groom looks especially solemn in a tailcoat or tuxedo, but they are worn for the pretentious celebration of the birth of a new family. In addition, you need to know how to wear a tailcoat and tuxedo. A more democratic option for the groom’s formal wear is a three-piece suit. In addition to the jacket and trousers, it includes a vest.
This is only at first glance; it seems that men's three-piece wedding suits look conservative and are suitable exclusively for the cooler months of the year. Every year, clothing designers, in addition to classic suit options, develop very original models. Products for summer weddings are made from lightweight fabrics.
From a huge assortment of three-piece suits, the groom will be able to choose a suitable option for a themed wedding and a stylish outfit for a celebration in a classic style.
A competent choice of clothes for the groom is carried out according to the following algorithm:
- The bride's outfit is taken into account. In order for the newlyweds to look harmonious, their outfits must be chosen in the same style, well combined in color, texture, and fabrics used. Practical advice - wait until your beloved has completely decided on her outfit, and then go in search of her suit and accessories. It looks very stylish when the color of accessories or jewelry in the bride’s image is supported by the shade of the groom’s tie.
- Fabric is selected. It must correspond to the time of year when the celebration is held, and it is its quality that indicates the taste of the owner of the costume.
- The cut of a suit should emphasize the advantages of a man’s figure and hide flaws. It is necessary to choose a suit that fits the groom perfectly, and not like some celebrity.

The last piece of advice is to spend enough time selecting accessories: tie, belt, cufflinks, pocket square, etc. Their importance is often underestimated. But they are the ones who make the image complete and stylish.
Who is it suitable for?
White color suits everyone, the main thing is the right style and shade. A man in a white suit unconsciously tightens his stomach, straightens his shoulders and corresponds to the image of a knight on a white horse (albeit without a horse, but in a chic white suit) - the girlish dream of brides.
The prejudice that white makes you fat has no justification. A men's suit that fits the figure like a sack makes you look fatter. A well-cut white wedding suit amazingly hides the flaws of any male figure and, on the contrary, can emphasize even minimal advantages.
During the cold season, it is not customary to wear a light suit. Photos taken against a winter landscape will highlight the inappropriate color of the groom's suit. Thanks to fashion trends, the white men's suit is gradually moving from a strictly formal style to other images in modern fashion trends.
If we approach it from a practical point of view, the classic model of a white wedding suit can continue to be present in the wardrobe of any man. In other versions - in a diluted occurrence with various items of clothing.
Choosing a jacket
Wedding suit for the groom with a vest.
Men's jackets come in the following types: English, American and European. In the English version, it is customary to focus on the shoulder girdle of the product and highlight the waist line. American cut is characterized by soft, rounded lines.
Most often, jackets of this type are made double-breasted. European cut is considered universal. As a rule, this is a single-breasted jacket, the length of which is 6-7 cm below the buttocks. It looks good on any figure.
The perfect fit of the jacket on the figure is ensured by the shoulder line and correctly positioned vents. The product should gently fit the man’s neck, without forming any creases, folds or wrinkles. To make sure that the jacket fits the groom exactly, go to the fitting wearing a white shirt, the cut you plan to choose for the celebration.

Even if you later want to buy a shirt for your wedding that has some kind of shade or interesting detail, you need to decide on the cut of the product before choosing a suit. The shirt collar should not rise above the jacket collar at the back by more than 2-4 cm. The shirt sleeves should protrude from the jacket sleeves by only 1-1.5 cm.
The presence and location of slots directly depends on the structure of the man’s body. When the buttocks are flat, the slots will be redundant, and with protruding buttocks, you need to select models with two slots. In all other cases, the classic version with one slot looks great.
Styles
What could a white men's suit look like? There are several options for this festive clothing. The main thing is to choose a style that suits you.
Classic white suit
The most universal option that suits almost everyone is a classic suit. This is a set consisting of two (or three) elements. The upper part of the set can be represented by a single- or double-breasted jacket, the lower part by straight trousers.
The option with a single-breasted jacket is more popular and comfortable to wear. Its distinctive feature is one row of loops on the left shelf and, accordingly, one row of buttons on the right. The most common option is with two buttons.
The double-breasted model is considered a more formal clothing option. It has two rows of buttons, and when fastened, one half overlaps the other. Therefore, when wearing a jacket, the upper part of the figure will be more massive, which is not always beneficial.
Another version of the classic suit is the “three piece”. Its distinctive feature is the presence of a vest. All three parts of the set are sewn from the same fabric. Threes are less commonly used today than twos.
The jacket in a classic suit can be fitted or straight. The first option is found in English and French style, the second - in American and German.
The trousers are straight with a medium rise and medium leg width.
With a tuxedo - wedding option
For special occasions, such as a wedding, you can wear a formal suit. In this set, the upper part is represented by a tuxedo.
The ceremonial look of a men's suit is a combination of classic trousers with a tuxedo. This set, made in white, looks extremely elegant.
A tuxedo is a type of jacket with a large neckline, and the shape of the neckline is not wedge-shaped, but semicircular.
The collar and lapels are trimmed with satin, velvet or silk. Typically, a tuxedo is single-breasted and fastens with one button at the waist. There is no slot at the back. Instead of pockets, imitation is used, leaving only internal pockets. There is always a breast pocket in which a silk scarf is placed.
Pants worn with a tuxedo are usually decorated with stripes. To make stripes, use the same fabric that is used to trim the lapels. The most formal option is trousers without a lapel with stitched pintucks. They are worn without a belt, with suspenders that should not peek out from under the vest.
What should pants be like?
Three-piece wedding suit.
The groom's appearance largely depends on correctly selected trousers. When choosing them, consider two important factors: good fit and length of the product. In the festive version of the three-piece suit, the trousers can be made either from the same fabric as the jacket, or from a fabric that has a shade that goes well with the color of the jacket and the same texture as it.

It is very important that the groom feels comfortable in trousers and that they do not restrict his movements. After all, at the wedding he will have to walk a lot, dance and take part in various competitions. During the fitting, feel free to walk around the store, bend over and sit on a chair. If you are not comfortable, then continue your selection until you find the perfect option.
In many stores, the bottom of the trousers is not finished so that the buyer can adjust the length to suit his height. To correctly determine the length of the trousers, the fitting must be carried out in the shoes that you will wear for the wedding.
In classic trouser models, the hem is hemmed with a slope towards the heel, and the belt of the product is located exactly at the waist line. At the back, the trousers should reach half the heel of the shoes, and at the front they should be somewhat shorter and form a beautiful fold.
Deciding on a vest
The vest can be made from the same fabric as the trousers or the entire ensemble. This item of clothing should not be worn only by men with a prominent belly. All other gentlemen will be able to choose a model that fits their figure well.
For a three-piece suit, choose a vest with a closed or partially open back. The first option can be called classic. In it, the back part is completely closed and is sewn from thinner fabric than the front.
In open models, the front parts of the product gradually narrow towards the top, and form a loop at the back in the neck area. The back of the vest is only at the waist. Therefore, most of the back is open.
Such models are preferred by lovers of extravagant clothing. When choosing a vest, you can experiment, creating a stylish look. The main selection criteria: good fit, ensuring the absence of wrinkles, as well as comfort during movement.
Optimal color of the groom's outfit
The colors of the newlyweds' outfits should look harmonious. When the bride has chosen a snow-white outfit, then it is worth paying attention to the classic colors for the suit: black, gray, dark blue and brown. For a summer wedding, you can choose a white suit, beige, light gray, etc.

If the bride's dress is ivory, then suits in a similar color scheme - coffee, sand, beige and brown - look good paired with it. For a blue wedding dress, you need to choose a suit from a blue palette - from light blue to dark blue.
Experts consider white and champagne to be the optimal shirt color for a classic groom's look. For themed weddings, shades are selected that are in harmony with the main color of the holiday. The tie should be darker than the shirt, but lighter than the suit. You can experiment with its color, but the main thing is not to overdo it in order to look solid and not comical.
Accessories and shoes
Every little detail is important in a wedding suit. Accessories play a particularly important role.
A belt for a groom in a light suit should be chosen to match the shoes, which in turn should not be dark. It is better to choose shoes in the main color scheme of the entire suit. In addition, the belt and shoes should not differ in texture.

The flower in the buttonhole can be the same as the flowers in the bride's bouquet. This will further emphasize your unity.
Cufflinks and a tie clip will help add unobtrusive accents to a light wedding suit.
To create an image that will immediately tell everyone who the groom is, you can choose a suitable vest under the jacket. With vests that stand out in color, a tie made of the same material and the same scarf in the outer pocket of the jacket look good.
As for the material from which the third element of the costume should be made, you should not save, but it is better to buy a vest made of natural silk.
On a hot day, such a suit will not cause unnecessary concern.
Whatever outfit you choose, the main thing is that it is comfortable and does not spoil the festive mood.
