The Wedding Outfit Checklist - What Every Groom Needs to Know

There's a lot to think about when planning a wedding - but your outfit shouldn't be one of the stressful bits. Whetehr you're going full Black Tie Wedding, keeping it relaxed with Simple Wedding Attire, or somewhere in between, knowing what to wear (and when to wear it) is key to feeling confident on the big day.

This guide covers everything every groom needs to know - from picking the perfect Wedding Suit, to those final touches that pull the whole look together. Because when it comes to dressing for a wedding (male edition), we've got you sorted at Connor.

First things first: the Wedding Suit. Your wedding day isn't the time for second guessing. Whether the dress code is formal or more laid-back, it't about finding a look that fits the vibe and makes you feel good.

If you're going all out with a black tie wedding, the Black Diamond Slim Tuxedo Suit is a sharp, timeless choice. Designed with a sleek satin lapel and comfort stretch, it delivers classic style with modern ease. Pair it with the London French Cuff Dress Shirt, a Plain Satin Bow Tie, and the Cuff & Tie Pin Set for that true tux-ready finish.

For a formal wedding that's still flexible, the Black Diamond Stretch Slim Suit or the Navy Diamond Stretch Slim Suit are both winners. These men's wedding suits offer the tailored look you want, with the comfort stretch you need to move (and dance) all day long.

If you're leaning towards lighter tones or a more relaxed setting, the Sand Seville Stretch Slim Suit or Light Grey Scotney Slim Suit both feel refreshed and on-trend. These are ideal for outdoor weddings or destination settings, and still hit the mark on smart wedding suits.

Want a bit of colour? The Petrol Formosa Slim Suit, the Charcoal Formosa Slim Stretch Suit, and the Navy Brooklyn Slim Stretch Suit offer rich tones that add depth and style without feeling too bold.

No matter which one you choose, make sure it fits like a glove. Pop in-store for tailoring services to get everything sitting just right - you'll thank yourself when you see the photos.

Once the wedding suit is sorted, it's time to lock in the key pieces underneath.

A crisp cotton white shirt is non-negotiable. For a classic fit and feel, go with the London Classic Dress Shirt or the Cyrus Stretch Dress Shirt - clean, versatile, and made to layer under any mens suit jacket. Prefer a sharper finish for Black Tie? The Cason Slim Dress Shirt has a modern edge with just the right amount of structure.

On your feet, wedding dress shoes matter more than you might think. Our top picks? The Kedman Loafer for a more relaxed, easy-going option, or the Bevan Shoe and Edgeware Faux Leather Dress Shoe for that traditional polish.

Add a Plain 5cm Tie or Reversible Pocket Square to finish your look with a touch of personality. You can even mix and match for a coordinated look across the Groom and Groomsmen.

Your wedding outfit is sorted, but don't forget about the events leading up to the big day! Engagement Party? Rehearsal Dinner? Post-wedding Brunch? You'll want something that hits the mark without repeating your main look.

The great thing about our range at Connor is that it's full of suits for any occasion. A lighter toned suit like the Sand Seville or Light Grey Scotney gives you that effortless style for semi-formal events, while the Navy">Charcoal Formosa is perfect for elevated but relaxed occasions.

Keep the look fresh by switching up your shirt, or adding a men's polo shirt for a more casual touch. The key is versatility - and building a wardrobe that works beyond just that one day.

From the first fitting to the final toast, your wedding day is a moment to remember - and your outfit should reflect that. Whether you're after formal wedding attire, a clean men's suit jacket, or simply a great fitting white cotton dress shirt, we've got the gear to get you there.
