Fabric is a fundamental consideration for any wedding, and falling in love with a three-piece before establishing the best material for your personal day and requirements can be a mistake. Considering which fabrics suit your aesthetic and wider outfit is key, but it's also important to account for the temperature at the time of year you're getting married and venue setting. For outdoor weddings in the colder months, consider warmer materials, like wool suits. For warmer seasons, a trusty linen or cotton suit maintains breathability and avoids any sweating disasters. In a country setting, tweed could be the perfect rustic choice. For a beach wedding, linen gives a relaxed yet chic feel. Once you've picked your carefully curated suit, the belt, shoes, and accessories can be chosen to blend into one cohesive look.

Colour reflects mood, and whether the bride has chosen a specific colour scheme already or not, it’s an essential consideration for the groom. Burgundy hues are amongst the key autumn and winter trends in 2025, and black is a classic choice for a formal setting. However, for more rustic venues, it’s often better to select a colour palette that complements the setting’s natural tones and any florals, such as soft browns, muted greens or sky blues. Not only can these colours look sensational, but they all instil a sense of peacefulness and joy.

David Beckham might have sported a three-piece while receiving his knighthood, but grooms don’t have to follow suit. If you prefer, ditch the waistcoat for a less formal feel. There's also the huge difference in common suit fits to consider, such as a narrow slim versus roomy, relaxed design. A tailored finish is popular to achieve a bespoke look with angles in all the right places, but it might be preferable to choose a less constraining style for a bohemian wedding. Similarly, men’s double breasted suits can offer a more flexible fit, especially for taller or broader grooms and groomsmen.

Men's accessories are having a moment, and while grooms may not be carrying a bag with them down the aisle, it’s worth evaluating potential accessories. Ties and pocket squares are popular for adding a touch of colour and provide an opportunity to weave patterns, earthy tones or coordinating bridal party colours into your outfit. Another stylish option is braces. A slight compromise on constraint, they impart a vintage feel that works wonderfully in cosy, countryside settings.

Style and comfort should be like yin and yang. Neither should be sacrificed or overpower the other. The best way to achieve this is by putting your critical cap on. Always test-wear your planned outfit a few times before the big day to get a true feel for your finished look. The wrong material, badly-guessed sizing or subpar fabric can all present a nasty surprise on the morning of the wedding, so it's better to catch and deal with any potential mishaps beforehand. Don’t leave comfort or style to chance. Be proactive, and you’ll plan the best suit for your bohemian wedding day. Choosing the perfect suit for a free-spirited wedding day might, ironically, seem to take a lot of thought and pre-planning, but your efforts will be rewarded tenfold. Besides, who knows, perhaps you’ll be dusting your suit off for renewed vows in the future!
