Fall weddings have a style all their own. From rich seasonal colors to classic black tuxedos, this season is bringing a mix of timeless style and modern fashion to the groom and his wedding party.
If you’re getting married this fall and wondering what the groom and groomsmen should wear, here are some of the biggest looks we’re seeing for 2026!
Rich, Fall-Inspired Colors
Fall is the perfect time to move beyond basic black and navy. Burgundy, chocolate brown, olive, hunter green, and other deep earth tones are showing up in men’s wedding fashion this year.
These colors look especially beautiful for outdoor weddings, barn venues, vineyards, and fall-inspired wedding décor. They also pair beautifully with popular fall bridesmaid colors.
For a groom who wants something a little different without going too far outside the box, a rich seasonal color can be the perfect choice.
The Classic Black Tux Is Still In
Some styles never go out of fashion — and the classic black tuxedo is definitely one of them.
Black tuxedos continue to be a favorite for formal and elegant weddings. For fall 2026, we’re also seeing modern takes on the traditional tuxedo, including different lapel styles, subtle textures, and updated fits.
If your wedding has a formal, romantic, or timeless feel, you simply can’t go wrong with a black tuxedo.
Brown and Earth Tones Are Having a Moment
One of the biggest trends for fall, is the move toward warm, earthy shades.
Think chocolate brown, clay, olive, and other natural tones. These colors have a sophisticated fall feel without looking overly traditional.
A brown suit can also be a great option for a groom who wants his wedding-day look to feel different from the typical navy or black suit. Check out this previous blog post we wrote about formal suit colors for the groom.
Texture Adds Interest
Another way to make a groom’s look stand out is through texture.
Velvet, subtle patterns, jacquard fabrics, and other textured materials can add dimension to a fall wedding look. A textured jacket can be especially fun for the groom while keeping the groomsmen in a more traditional coordinating suit or tuxedo.
The key is to let the groom have a little personality without making the entire wedding party look too busy.
Modern Tailoring — But Not Too Tight
The ultra-skinny suit isn’t the only option anymore.
Today’s menswear is moving toward clean, tailored silhouettes that look polished without being overly tight. Double-breasted styles and slightly more relaxed tailoring are also making a comeback.
For a wedding, the most important thing is still a great fit. Your tuxedo or suit should look sharp, feel comfortable, and allow you to actually enjoy your wedding day! Click here for more information on choosing your tux or suit.
🤵 Let the Groom Stand Out
One of our favorite trends for 2026 is giving the groom a little something different.
The groom doesn’t necessarily have to wear the exact same tuxedo or suit as every groomsman. He might wear:
- A different jacket color
- A different lapel
- A three-piece suit
- A textured or specialty jacket
- A different tie or bow tie
- A slightly different accessory
The goal is to make sure everyone looks coordinated while still making it clear who the groom is!
Don’t Forget the Details
Once you’ve chosen the suit or tuxedo, the accessories finish the look. Your tie or bow tie, pocket square, shoes, vest, and other details can help bring the entire wedding party together.
And remember — trends are fun, but your wedding photos will last forever. Choose something that feels like you and fits the overall style of your wedding.
