More to Know About Men's Wedding Attire:
Men's wedding attire covers everything a groom, groomsman, or guest needs for a wedding, from wedding suits and tuxedos to shirts, ties, and shoes. Dress code, season, and role in the wedding party all shape the right choice.
For the groom, a distinct tie color or a three-piece suit helps him stand apart from the party. Coordinating the full party is easier with a wedding suit package, which bundles a suit or tuxedo with the shirt, tie, and accessories groomsmen need.
Guests dressing for a wedding should check the invitation for a stated dress code before choosing an outfit; see our wedding guest attire for options that fit black-tie, semi-formal, and daytime ceremonies. Younger members of the party are covered too, with sizes available in boys' wedding wear.
Round out the look with ties and accessories, formal shirts, and dress shoes. Every suit and tuxedo purchased in a Jos. A. Bank store includes free alterations, and thoughtful groomsmen gifts are available for thanking the wedding party.

Frequently Asked Questions
- ▾What should a man wear to a wedding?
What to wear depends on your role and the stated dress code. Grooms and groomsmen typically wear a coordinated suit or tuxedo, while guests should match the formality noted on the invitation, from a full suit for black-tie to a sport coat and trousers for casual ceremonies.
- ▾Should groomsmen wear the same suit as the groom?
Groomsmen usually wear a matching or closely coordinated suit or tuxedo, while the groom often sets himself apart with a different tie color, a vest, or a three-piece style. A wedding suit package makes it easy to keep the whole party consistent.
- ▾What is the difference between a suit and a tuxedo for a wedding?
A suit is appropriate for daytime, outdoor, and semi-formal weddings, while a tuxedo is reserved for black-tie and formal evening ceremonies. Tuxedos are identified by satin lapels and a satin stripe down the trouser leg.
- ▾How far in advance should I buy wedding attire?
Order wedding attire at least six to eight weeks before the date to allow time for alterations and a second fitting. Every suit and tuxedo purchased in a Jos. A. Bank store includes free alterations.
