The Best Groom's Attire for a Casual Wedding
While a black suit and tie are the wedding standard, the classic look isn’t a good fit for every groom. There are many reasons a groom may opt for attire that is a tad more casual.
Perhaps the wedding will be held outside in the heat or even on the beach. Maybe the couple decided on an elopement in a more relaxed environment, or because of COVID-19 restrictions they will have an intimate ceremony instead. A bride and groom may also choose more laid-back attire simply because of preference and personal style.
Whatever your reason, be sure to keep these tips in mind when laying out your wedding day ensemble:
The biggest consideration is your venue. Try to match your outfit to the environment whether it’s indoor, outdoor, on the beach, in the mountains, in a backyard, etc.
Also, be sure to coordinate your look with your bride and maintain the same level of formality. Don’t wear short sleeve button down and khakis next to her intricately designed custom-made gown.
Casual doesn’t mean skimping on quality. Make sure to still go with clothing that is made well and fits properly.
Remember to iron your clothing so your look doesn’t appear sloppy.
Select accessories such as your belt, bowtie, and shoes, which complement and tie together the outfit.

So, let’s get to it. Roll up your sleeves and get inspired by these stylish options for your casual wedding:
Mismatched Pants and Jacket
Instead of a monochromatic look, rock a different colored pant and a unique jacket combo. Pair black trousers with a grey jacket, or khakis with navy blue. Finish the outfit with a simple button down with a bowtie or open collar.
Button Ups with Khakis
For a beach vibe, go with rolled up khakis with a light, long sleeve button up or tropical short sleeve shirt. For a very relaxed affair a quality pair of shorts may even suffice.
Dressed Up Denim
When worn correctly, a classic pair of dark blue jeans can make a great statement, especially for a country or rustic wedding. Wear your denim with a shirt and jacket or dress it up with a vest or even suspenders. Don’t forget a fine leather belt to pull it all together!
Classic Bottoms with Simple Shirts
Let your accessories do the talking and keep your clothing simple. Match a pair of classic, formal bottoms with a basic button down and focus on the details such as your boutonniere, tie, or even add a hat for a boho touch.
Cold Weather Layers
For a casual late fall or winter wedding, think layers. Wear a statement jacket or pullover sweater on top of your button down, or even go for a dark-colored turtleneck. Also, add in a trendy tweed piece to stay warm and stylish.
