Australia is blessed with pleasant weather all year round with hardly any extremes on the temperature scales. However, some months do get chilly and wearing something light like linen just doesn’t cut it. Hence if you’re planning your wedding in the winter months it’s not only important to focus on the style of wedding suit you’ll go for but also its fabric and colour. The last thing you’d want when you’re at the altar is getting all worked up with winter jitters instead of wedding jitters!

Winter Wedding Suit Styles

Some styles of men’s wedding suits are perfectly made for the colder months of the year because of those extra layers or the styles of stitching they come with. Let’s look at those options.

1. Black Tuxedo

The black tux is as classy as it can get. Your wedding, especially when it’s happening in winter is the perfect opportunity to flaunt the inner secret agent persona in you. Whether it’s a day or an evening wedding, the luxe tux shows off its timeless charm all the same.

2. Three-Piece Suit

Depending on how specific you are about the dress code for your wedding, a few casual guests may arrive in jeans and shirts. Secondly, it’s obvious that the majority of attendees will wear a dress shirt and pants. The most elegant men in the room will almost certainly wear a two-piece suit. 

That is why the three-piece suit is at the top of our list of groom winter wedding suits. The added vest provides that extra “This is my day” energy. Plus, with those winter temperatures, your body will thank you for wearing those extra layers. 

Winter Wedding Suit Fabrics

1. Wool

Wool outperforms other fabrics for wedding suits. Wool, especially when woven into a finer weave, has a very thin texture that drapes wonderfully and lends itself easily to more formal settings.

If you’re looking for something really special for your wedding, you might want to check wool-cashmere blends, which give both warmth and an added layer of luxury to your ensemble.

It should be mentioned that the vast majority of formal winter suits are made of wool, including the classic tuxedo, which is a timeless choice for your wedding day.

2. Tweed

Tweed is for people who are not afraid of breaking away from the wedding suit norms. A suit made of tweed, a highly textured fabric sometimes woven with many colours, is unique and can be easily used for a country wedding.

This durable fabric, which dates back to the early 18th century in Scotland, is full of personality and is a surefire way to make a statement with your wardrobe. Wearing full tweed is therefore not for the weak of heart. A striking tweed jacket paired with block-coloured trousers can be a good option if you want to dabble rather than go all in.

3. Flannel

If you’re planning a somewhat more informal event in a cold climate, look no further than the tactile appeal of flannel. Flannel, created from loosely woven medium-weight cotton, is distinguished by its soft, almost fuzzy texture and has been a staple of winter suits since the 1950s.

While maybe less evident – especially considering its connection to rock ‘n’ roll because of the flannel plaid shirt – the classic grey flannel suit can be an exquisite option for groom apparel, especially when matched with pale blue accessories. This softens the overall image and creates a suitable winter colour palette.

4. Velvet

This luxurious cloth feels as smooth as it appears. While entire velvet outfits are uncommon, velvet tuxedo jackets have become a popular choice among grooms in recent years. This material also comes in a variety of colours, allowing you to add your personal style to your ensemble.

5. Silk

When you want your outfit to be as exquisite as possible, choose silk. Given that it’s a luxury cloth, it’s one of the most expensive options available, so keep your budget in mind while picking this material. Silk has a glittering appearance and is not very breathable, thus it is best suited for fall or winter weddings.

Winter Wedding Suit Colours

1. Charcoal Grey

Choose the Charcoal Grey winter wedding suit if you want to stand out from the crowd, but not so much that you will regret your choice fifty years later. Charcoal grey suits look great in photos against a winter backdrop and are likely to garner a big thumbs up from your prospective bride and your pals.

2. Navy Blue

Finally, a favourite among fans. The winter wedding suit in navy is dependable and versatile, much like the husband you aspire to be. The colour goes nicely with so many different hues that you won’t likely run into any issues with bridesmaid gowns, floral arrangements, or venue setups. In a suit that gives you this assurance, there are no chances of being doubtful.
