The Best Wedding Suits for the Aisle—and Beyond (2024)

A sleek white tux is a bridal standard—and we suggest wearing this look without a shirt underneath for evening. Pair straight or wide-legged trousers with a pointed-toe pump to keep your legs looking extra long.

For civil ceremonies, day-after brunches, and rehearsal dinners alike, tap into prints, pops of color, and coats rather than jackets. Trust us: you're more likely to wear not-so-ivory and layering pieces again and again, long after your wedding weekend.

Cold-weather, more casual fabrics, like corduroy, suit winter and daytime weddings alike. Elevate this look with a sophisticated earring, easy hair, and an oxford or boot, to speak to the menswear-esque nature of this oversized suit.

A cropped jacket and sexy, cutout maxi skirt is a late-night riff on suiting that will have all eyes on you—even if it's just you two.

Opting for an archive, vintage, or pre-owned piece is not only a sustainable way to shop, but it gives you access to donning an iconic fashion piece down the aisle. Case in point: this pre-owned Chanel skirt suit.

Lace handkerchiefs, as seen on this suit, or all-over lace is the romantic way to wear wedding suiting—and could work as a hint to a full lace gown to come.

A mini skirt and jacket with a curved hem and collar are a fresh take on a more stiff suit, and works well for the rehearsal dinner, an engagement party, your civil ceremony, or—with a fingertip veil—the aisle.

Blazer, $660, farfetch.com SHOP

Tulip-hem mini skirt, $520, farfetch.com SHOP

Opt for a blazer that works double duty as a mini dress or as a jacket—just add trousers (or remove them).

Lilia jacket, $2,950, net-a-porter.com SHOP

Suiting doesn't need to be stiff; a draped jacket and pleated pant is an easy way to wear suiting. This look is case in point.

Ferto jacket, $875, rolandmouret.com SHOP

Fraser trouser, $1,195, rolandmouret.com SHOP

A midi skirt paired with a coordinating jacket is a chic, fresh take on the mod skirt suit. This one in satin would feel sexy with a sky-high heel, and dainty for daytime with a slide, mule, or flat.

Merel skirt, $695, modaoperandi.com SHOP

Opt for a sleeveless blazer instead of a long-sleeve for a take on a summer suit that works as a mini on its own for the after-party after you don it with trousers.
