Groomsmen Outfit Ideas for Every Season

When you're in the midst of planning a wedding, it's inevitable that the topic of groomsmen attire comes up at some point. When it does, you want to have some foolproof groomsmen outfit ideas at the ready for making decisions. Whether you're looking for groomsmen attire for spring, summer, fall or winter in formal or casual looks, this guide provides inspiration.

Spring and Summer Seasons

Spring and summer are the two most popular seasons for wedding celebrations, and attire can range from classic formal to ultra-laidback. Consider the setting, time of day and level of outdoor heat when choosing what the groomsmen should wear.

Formal Look

Black tux with a bow tie. The groomsmen are all decked out in a sophisticated black tux, crisp white shirt and black bow tie. They mirror the groom's formal attire perfectly. The groom's bow tie is an elegant white. Dress shoes are black. Avoid this at outdoor weddings, as black holds heat.

Light gray suit with floral tie. The light gray suit offers less formality than black but still provides timeless elegance for the event. Pair it with a white dress shirt, a festive floral tie and dark brown dress shoes.

Semi-Formal Look

Khaki suit with white shirt and no tie. Khaki suits are a great choice for summertime weddings. This groomsmen look is refreshingly relaxed when it's paired with a button-down white shirt and brown shoes.

Casual Look

Khaki pants with short sleeve non-matching shirt. Here's an easy way to create backyard wedding groom and groomsmen attire. This time, khaki pants are paired with a short-sleeved shirt. Make things fun by assigning groomsmen to wear either a gray, light blue or light green short-sleeve shirts in solid colors or tasteful prints. Colorful neckties in complementary colors are optional. Go even more casual by having the guys wear sneakers.



Beach Wedding Ideas

Getting married on the beach is one of the most romantic outdoor places to tie the knot. When selecting beach groomsmen wedding attire, keep the look cool, comfortable and crisp.

Formal Look



White suit with a bolo tie or floral tie. White is a natural color choice for beach weddings and it's also a great neutral tone. The bolo tie adds Southwestern flair, but you can choose to go with a floral tie - or skip the tie altogether in favor of island style floral suspenders. The ideal shoe color is brown.

Casual Look

Linen pants with a collarless white shirt. Choose your desired color of linen pants and add a collarless dress shirt in white.

Fall and Winter Seasons

Weddings during the fall and winter seasons can be just as memorable as those taking place during warmer months. What do groomsmen wear during cooler/cold seasons? The key is to dress groomsmen appropriately for the setting and weather. Groomsmen suits and pants color choices are typically black, navy, dark blue, charcoal, gray or brown.

Formal Look



Black suit with dark blue tie. Give a black suit an appealing formal look with a white dress shirt and tie in blue hues of cerulean, navy or teal.

Navy suit with gray tie. Knock this combination out of the park by pairing it with a white shirt and brown dress shoes.

Semi-Formal Look

Gray slacks with leather suspenders. Create this look for a rustic fall wedding. Pair dark gray slacks with white dress shirts, brown leather suspenders, white floral tie and brown shoes.

Casual Look

Black jeans with a jean jacket and tie. Pull off this cool look with dark denim in pristine condition for jeans and jacket, an untucked white dress shirt, a floral or paisley tie and brown shoes.
