Wedding suit inspiration
Wedding suit inspiration for grooms-to-be.
What suit to wear to a wedding?
A wedding is a special occasion. As such, it requires special attire. If your wedding suit might pass in a job interview, it's not special enough. A wedding is a spectacle, and the most compelling performances have protagonists. Therefore, the ideal suit should ensure that you are distinguished as one of the two central figures. This is what your guests expect of you.
To that end, consider a suit in a special color, an unusual cut, or with interesting detailing, like hand-covered buttons.
What should a man wear to a summer wedding?
Something that shines under sunlight yet elegantly transitions into eveningwear, such as a teal blue linen suit.
Should you choose the common navy blue suit, consider zhushing it up with a loud tie or patterned scarf. Nothing says ‘I have the personality of a potato’ quite like a tonally dressed man.
What is a lounge suit for a man?
According to Debrett’s, a lounge suit is contemporary business attire. As one might surmise, it was originally intended to denote a less formal option to the tailcoats and top hats of 19th-century morning dress.
Given the evolution of the lounge suit to formal status, one might question the current relevance of this term. As such, we recommend avoiding it unless you're specifically referring to formal attire intended for home relaxation. For that purpose, we have our bamboo suits, designed as the male version of a hostess gown — a ‘host suit’?
Can you wear a black suit to a wedding?
The stark elegance of black juxtaposed with bridal white offers unparalleled sophistication. However, black's inherent formality can seem discordant under the resplendent glow of the summer sun.
Thus, during the golden months, one might consider softening its formality—opting for black rendered in the relaxed textures of rumpled linen or washed silk, for instance. Embracing a black suit becomes easier if the ceremony is scheduled a few hours before dusk.

Can I wear a Nehru suit to a wedding?
The majority of our clientele buys a Nehru suit to wear to a wedding. With its characteristic stand collar, the Nehru suit confidently diverges from corporate wear, ensuring that one is never mistaken for a candidate on the cusp of securing a middle-management role within a provincial banking institution while exchanging vows.
The stand collar embodies a blend of regality and military finesse, yet our interpretation embraces a modern sensibility by eschewing rigid structure in favor of soft, luxurious materials. This distinction is what makes a Heron’s Ghyll Nehru suit the optimum eligendi among contemporary men’s wedding suits.
