While we may still be in 2023, it’s all about next year for many couples planning their big day. We look at groom and groomsmen wedding trends in 2024.
It’s All About the Tailoring
The slim-fit suit has been popular in recent years, and it doesn’t look like that trend is going away anytime soon. A well-made, well-tailored suit will make you stand out in a room full of ill-fitting, oversized suits. A tailored suit will also do wonders for your self-confidence, poise, and ego.
Three-Piece Suits
The three-piece suit is timeless and elegant. At some point in the evening, the jacket is likely to come off, but a vest is the perfect addition. Whether you’re offering your coat to your bride when she catches a chill or you just need to cool off, you’ll still look dapper and be comfortable enough to dance the night away.
Eco-Friendly Fabrics
Sustainability is no longer just a trend, it’s become a major part of our everyday lives. You can expect to find more suits made from eco-friendly fabrics in 2024. This includes fabrics like linen, hemp, and recycled polyester. These fabrics are more environmentally friendly and can also be more comfortable to wear. They are breathable and light, making them perfect for a hot summer wedding.
Trending Colours for 2024
While there will always be people who prefer the classic black or grey suit, there will be a trend toward bolder colours in 2024. Bold blues, maroons, and evergreens are all popular choices that will coordinate well with your wedding décor. Pastels are a great choice for grooms who want a more understated look. They are also a good option for spring and summer weddings in 2024.
Patterned Suits
Patterned suits are also making a comeback in 2024. This includes patterns like houndstooth, pinstripes, and windowpane. These patterns can add a touch of sophistication to the groom’s outfit and make him look more unique.
Mix and Match
The mix-and-match trend that has been popular with bridesmaid dresses is also starting to catch on with groomsmen. This means that groomsmen change up their ties and pocket squares without all wearing the same colour.
Coordinating Colours
If you’re going to go all out with a showstopping suit, don’t forget to coordinate a colourful tie and pocket square for your big day. Speaking of a touch of colour, it’s predicted that guys will be opting to wear ties and pocket squares in complimentary colours to accentuate their suits. A little pop of color is never a bad thing.
Put Your Best Foot Forward
Perhaps the age of the “crazy socks” has come and gone. Guys will be opting for the more neutral, single-colour socks with some sharp leather lace-up shoes for a more formal look and loafers (with or without socks) for a slightly more casual look at the altar.
