groom trends As brides pull out wedding books and scour the pages for their perfect dress, selecting colors for the bridesmaids and tweaking the floral design of their bouquets, thoughts of the groom’s attire for the wedding sometimes get left on the back burner. But, just as there are wedding gown trends, there are also new styles and colors each year to help the groom stand out on his big day. Here are a few of those trends for the 2022 season.
contrasting buttons
Never out of style, a black tuxedo is classic and timeless. But if you’d like to bring a little extra flair to that tux, why not try a shirt with contrasting buttons? Those pops of black will show even more when paired with a bowtie.
shades of red
Burgundy, red or wine, especially in darker shades, give a big pop of color, yet are still easy to pair with any other colors in the wedding and make a big statement.
for the 2022 season tweed for all seasons
Another classic style – tweed – is a sophisticated look, but wearing a heavy fabric in the summer is a no-go. If you love the look of tweed, but don’t want to be weighed down by the prickly fabric, try a tweed waistcoat or jacket paired with a lighter fabric in trousers.
large checks
Oversized checks are trending this season, giving the well-dressed groom a sharp, but relaxed image.
waistcoats with wow
Want to wear a traditional style suit or tuxedo for your wedding, but want to make a statement? Add a waistcoat with wow! Bring in a contrasting color or print to make people sit up and take notice.
cream to beige
If you’re looking for a great way to give your summer wedding a casual, yet sophisticated look, check out suits in off white, beige or cream. These neutral shades are also perfect for a destination wedding.
tailored suits
Still the favored style for grooms, the slim-fit suit will fit snugly, but comfortably, with a tapered fit at the waist and ankle.
mini-prints
On the other end of the spectrum from large patterns, microprints will give a finished look to any suit. Pairing these small patterns with solid colors in both the waistcoat and slacks will keep everything upscale and eye-catching.
