A wedding suit
you can wear
after the wedding
Many grooms are looking for a wedding suit that isn’t just for one day but can also be worn as a business suit, a casual suit, or even a festive outfit for other occasions. Fortunately, the solution is simple: choose a versatile combination that fits different settings.
Would you like to see how to put together a wedding suit that you can continue wearing after the wedding? In this video, we show how the right combinations can create a versatile and durable wedding outfit.
Two Key Considerations:
Choose a Timeless Jacket and Trousers
Make sure your jacket and trousers are made from a simple, neutral fabric that is easy to mix and match. A blue wedding suit or a grey wedding outfit is the most versatile choice, as these colors can be worn both formally and casually.
Make a Statement with a Distinctive Waistcoat
By selecting a waistcoat in a different fabric, color, or texture, you add a distinctive element that makes your look stand out for the wedding. Consider a waistcoat with a pattern, a bold color, or a vintage-inspired design, such as a double-breasted waistcoat. This gives your outfit character during the ceremony while making it easy to wear the suit in a more everyday setting later on.
How to Make Your Wedding Suit Versatile: Mix & Match Tips
It all comes down to the right combinations. Lay out different fabrics next to each other and see which materials and colors complement each other well. Pay attention to balance: for example, pairing a super-light Italian Super 200’s fabric with a heavy tweed is not ideal.
Why a Sustainable Wedding Suit Is a Smart Investment
A wedding suit that you can wear multiple times is not only a smart financial choice but also a more sustainable option. By investing in a high-quality suit, you choose a garment that lasts for years instead of a one-time purchase that stays in the closet. If you opt for a versatile design and premium materials, you get even more value out of your investment while contributing to a more conscious wardrobe.
Ensure that your jacket and trousers are made from a ‘simple fabric’ that is easy to wear for different occasions. This often leads to a dark blue or grey option.
Pair this with a waistcoat made from a different fabric that stands out in terms of color, material, pattern, or texture. If desired, you can also make the waistcoat’s design more striking by choosing a vintage or double-breasted model.
That’s it—just a matter of mixing and matching. Lay out fabrics next to each other, and you’ll naturally discover what works together and what you like for your wedding suit and beyond.
