Suits for all seasons - Which colours are best for grooms and guests?

Here at Streetlife we’re in the throes of wedding season. It’s the time of year when people love to get married and love to go to weddings. We often get asked about which colours are the best for grooms and guests and, in this article, we will explore the seasons and how to pick the styles that suit you best.

Summer Weddings

Summer weddings are all about chill vibes and casual style, no need to dress up fancy!
Summer is the ideal time to ditch the traditional navy wedding suit for something lighter and more cheerful. Soft pastels and subtle shades take centre stage. For instance, a sage three-piece suit is a great choice when the weather’s warmer. It’s both comfortable and stylish. Or a mauve summer suit with its gentle pink tones combines casual vibes with timeless elegance. If you have medium or dark skin, lighter natural tones like cream, stone, or pale blue are popular choices. And don’t forget to opt for lighter fabrics instead of heavier materials to stay cool in the scorching sun. For those with paler skin, beige, sky blue, or off-white are great options.

Autumn Weddings

Finding the perfect autumn wedding suit can be tricky, especially with the unpredictable weather.
Autumn weddings are a great time to wear a suit! Unless there’s a fancy black-tie dress code, you have a lot of choices. A navy three-piece suit is a classic and easy-to-wear option. It’s elegant and comfortable for both the groom and guests. Tweed wedding suits are also a great choice. They’re stylish and warm for a chilly day and perfect for that rustic, country style wedding.
There’s something magical about winter weddings. Whether you’re the groom or guest, you want to step out in confidence in your finest winter wedding suit.

Winter Weddings

Winter is the perfect time to dress up for a wedding. Unless the wedding is in a warm, sunny country, your spring and summer clothes won’t work in Ireland. Instead, it’s time to bring out the richer, earthy tones and classic wedding suit tweeds to create the perfect look that matches the season.
When it comes to winter weddings, darker shades and heavier fabrics are the way to go for both the groom and guests. Think green wedding suits with dark olive tones, or a classic charcoal or navy suit. But if you’re worried these might clash with your darker skin tone, a mid-grey suit is a safe and stylish choice for any winter wedding.
Three-piece suits with matching waistcoats are perfect for winter weddings. They keep you warm when you need it most. Tweeds and thicker fabrics add depth and style. You can choose from many designs.

Spring Weddings

The sun is shining, but there’s a cool breeze in the air – it’s springtime! With the long winter days behind and the nights getting lighter, you’re probably wondering what colour suit to wear.
For a spring wedding suit, a light blue or classic grey two-piece suit is a great choice. They’re both stylish and eye-catching, and they’ll keep you cool in the evening. If you’re worried about the weather, you can always wear a thicker fabric like tweed. And the best part? They look great on anyone with olive or dark skin.
For a spring wedding, it’s a great idea to go for light and fresh suit colours that match the season. Pastel shades like light blue suits are perfect for the groom, guests, and wedding party. They’re stylish and relaxed, and they’ll look great in the spring weather. Light navy or sage green is also a great choice. It’s elegant and seasonal, and it’ll make you look sharp.
