Dapper Duds: Wedding Wear for the Fellas
By Sonaiya Kelley
Men often get overlooked in the hubbub of wedding planning, but that doesn’t mean that your groom shouldn’t look every bit as good as you do at the altar. We’ve compiled a list of 10 fashionable suits for your guy, whatever his sartorial leanings.
1. The Gray Suit
This on-trend skinny suit is cut close to the body to create a clean silhouette.

A white suit can be hard to pull off, but with a carefully selected cut and hue, it can be a great choice for a summer wedding.

Every guy looks tasteful in a black tux, and the silk lapel on this wool number lends a luxe feel to the classic silhouette.

4. The Gatsby Suit
Jay Gatsby was the ultimate snazzy dresser, and with Brooks Brothers’ Gatsby Collection, your groom can experience the roaring 20’s signature glamour firsthand. Not only did Brooks Brothers produce all of the men’s costumes in the film, but a majority was inspired by the company’s archives. This three-button linen jacket features a herringbone pattern and narrow lapels, and with it he’ll look nothing short of ‘Great.’
