20 Casual Groom Attire Ideas From Real Weddings

While we’re huge proponents of the classic black tuxedo (there’s a reason why this style is the go-to wedding outfit for grooms), sporting something informal can be just as swanky and, arguably, more comfortable. In fact, a laidback look is the perfect opportunity to showcase your personality quirks, your individual style, and the endearing qualities that define your relationship. So instead of blindly following the “wedding tux” tradition, consider embracing casual groom attire by donning a vibrantly-hued suit, or going all out with a boldly patterned accessory, such as a polka dot tie, a striped shirt, or flamingo socks. You can even opt to wear an alternative suit fabric, like wool or velvet, or forego sporting dress shoes in favor of custom sneakers.

Of course, this all depends on your wedding’s level of formality, as casual groom attire is best suited for informal dress codes. But if you aren’t restricted to sporting an ultra-lux look, dress yourself in something that makes a statement as you walk down the aisle. Need some inspiration? Here, we’ve rounded up 20 of our favorite casual groom outfit ideas from real weddings to help inspire your own day-of look.
