2026 Wedding Suit Guide: Best Groom & Groomsmen Colours
If you’re getting married in 2026, you’re in luck — this year’s palette is clean, modern, photogenic, and built perfectly around SUITBAE’s best-selling ranges. Spring weddings especially are seeing a rise in soft neutrals, fresh greens, and structured navy, offering groom-and-party combinations that feel coordinated without being identical.
Below is your complete guide to choosing the right colours, fabrics, and combinations for the season — plus our recommended SUITBAE pairings.
Why 2026 Wedding Colours Look Different
2026 bridal trends have shifted toward lighter, softer palettes, with more outdoor weddings and pastel-leaning themes. This means groom and groomsmen suits need to photograph well in natural light while still feeling strong and structured in person.
The leading features for 2026 groomwear include:
- Fashionable, modern colour palettes
- Stone, Sage and Deep Green as the core hues
- Low-contrast combinations so the groom stands out without clashing
- Stretch-weave fabrics for all-day comfort
- Clean lines and sharper silhouettes
What to Consider When Choosing Your 2026 Wedding Suit
Before locking in a colour, think about:
✔ The venue
Outdoor spring weddings favour stone, sage and soft navy. Indoor venues can support deeper tones like navy, charcoal and deep green.
✔ The theme & décor
Your suit colour should sit naturally against florals, bridesmaids’ dresses and your photography style.
✔ The hierarchy
Groom standout → groomsmen coordinated → dads and family subtly matched. Small details like contrast waistcoats or deeper tones for the groom make a big difference.
✔ Comfort & movement
All SUITBAE tailored suits use stretch-weave fabric, allowing clean structure while staying comfortable from aisle to evening.
2026 Groom & Groomsmen Colour Trends
1. Stone — Clean, Photogenic, and Extremely Modern
Stone has become one of the strongest groom colours for spring weddings due to its bright, natural finish in daylight. It feels modern without being loud, and works across a wide range of themes and venues.
Groom Recommendation:
Charles Stone Contrast Three-Piece Suit — a standout look with a contrast waistcoat that clearly sets the groom apart.
Groomsmen Recommendation:
Charles Stone Three-Piece Suit — same tone, same fabric, no contrast, keeping the hierarchy clean and cohesive.
2. Sage Green — Fresh, Soft, and Spring-Focused
Sage continues to trend into 2026, especially in rustic venues and floral-heavy settings. It’s soft enough for spring themes but still strong enough to look tailored and intentional.
Groom Recommendation:
Callum Sage Contrast Three-Piece Suit — a modern, fresh tone that feels made for spring. With a standout mix and match contrast made with Diablo Trousers (available on request).
Groomsmen Recommendation:
Callum Sage Three-Piece Suit — the same green that keeps the palette consistent, while still giving the groom the contrast, more eye-catching look.
3. Deep Green — Stronger, Richer, and Sharp in Photos
Deep green is one of the most in-demand colours for 2026 grooms. It works beautifully for countryside venues, barn weddings, and autumn or winter dates, adding richness without feeling over the top.
Groom Recommendation:
Archie Green Three-Piece Suit — a modern shape with a deeper tone and contrast waistcoat that gives the groom clear elevation.
Groomsmen Recommendation:
Archie Green Three-Piece Suit — a different colour tie set and the same colour suit, creating a structured, polished look that brings cohesion and also subtly highlights the groom without being too much.
4. Navy — Always Safe, Always Stylish, Now More Modern
Navy remains the most versatile wedding colour and suits every venue, complexion, and season. In 2026, navy comes into its own with sharper cuts and double-breasted silhouettes.
Groom Recommendation:
Lawrence Navy Double Breasted Three-Piece Suit — stronger shoulders, sharper lines, and a modern, structured profile.
Groomsmen Recommendation:
Lawrence Navy Three-Piece Suit — a classic, structured three-piece suitable for any occasion, from weddings and races to evening events.
5. Charcoal — Clean, Sharp, and Surprisingly Photogenic
Charcoal offers a more understated palette while still looking refined and premium in photos. It’s ideal for couples who want a formal look without going fully black.
Groom Recommendation:
Escobar Double Breasted Three-Piece Suit — a deeper tone with structured shoulders and a very modern cut.
Groomsmen Recommendation:
Vincent Charcoal Three-Piece Suit — lightweight and versatile, especially good for warmer spring dates where a darker palette is still desired.
