Groomsmen suit guide

Everything you need to get your suit: the look, the exact colors, where to buy or rent, and what to do next. The wedding is outdoors, so lighter, breathable fabrics are the way to go.

The look

What everyone wears

Groomsmen

  • Suit: sand / light tan #C8B596
  • Shirt: white #FFFFFF
  • Tie: sage, solid #848A6D
  • Flower: eucalyptus sprig #6F7559
  • Shoes & belt: medium brown #6B4E36

Glenn (groom)

  • Suit: leaf green twill #616761
  • Shirt: white #FFFFFF
  • Tie: ivory, solid #F2EBDD
  • Flower: ivory + dusty rose #C4978F
  • Shoes & belt: dark brown #3F2A1C

The bar shows how much of each color you'll wear, from the suit down to the shoes. The bridesmaids wear the sage dress, and your sage ties match them. Screens show color differently, so match against a real fabric swatch, not your phone.

Top pick: SuitShop Linen-Look Sand

$248 to buy · you keep it
  • Tencel-blend performance fabric. It breathes like linen and doesn't wrinkle.
  • The color is a near-exact match for our sand. A darker "Latte" version is the same price.
  • Jacket and pants are sized separately (slim or modern fit). Returns and fabric swatches are free.
  • Online only, with no stores in Florida or NYC. Plan on a local tailor for hemming and tapering, usually $40 to $80.

Want to try it on in person first? The Black Tux, Indochino and Suitsupply all have stores in both South Florida and NYC.
