The different types of suits for a wedding
When choosing the right suit for a wedding, there are different styles and options to choose from. Here are some of the most popular:
- The classic suit
The classic suit is timeless and versatile. It consists of a jacket and trousers, which are often made from the same fabric. These are usually black, dark blue or anthracite. This type of suit is suitable for both formal and semi-formal occasions and is a safe choice for a wedding.
- The tuxedo
The tuxedo is an elegant and formal version of the suit that is mainly used for festive events and weddings with a strict dress code. It is characterized by a black jacket with shiny lapels and straight-cut trousers. A tuxedo makes you feel like James Bond and is also the dress code for black tie.
- The vintage-style suit
The vintage-style suit has a nostalgic feel and is inspired by past eras. It offers different styles, such as the 1920s style with narrow cuts and pinstripes or the 1960s style with narrow lapels and shorter jackets. This type of suit is particularly suitable for weddings with a retro or vintage theme.
Each type of suit has its own charm and is suitable for different occasions. When choosing the right suit, it is important to consider the dress code and personal style to create a look that suits both you and the occasion.

Tips for wedding guests: dress code and choice of suit
As a wedding guest, it's important to follow the dress code and choose the right outfit that not only suits you, but also the style of the wedding. Here are some tips and recommendations for wedding guests, especially for those who want to rent suits:
Dress code tips:
- Pay attention to the invitation when choosing a suit. The invitation often indicates the dress code. Look out for terms such as “formal”, “semi-formal” or “casual” to determine the appropriate style of your outfit.
- Avoid all-white suits, as white is traditionally reserved for the bride and wearing it could be seen as disrespecting or competing with the bride. Just don't do it ;)
- Some weddings have a specific theme or color palette. Try to match your outfit accordingly to contribute to the overall concept of the wedding. Especially if the dress code is “Black Tie” you have to go for a tuxedo.
- Dress appropriately for the season. Consider the season and choose appropriate materials and colors for your suit. Light fabrics and light colors are good for summer weddings, while darker tones are appropriate for fall and winter weddings.
- Pants that are too short, sleeves that are too long or a suit that is too tight can look unprofessional and unkempt.
- Your suit should be clean, pressed and in good condition. Avoid worn or unkempt clothing, as this can make an inappropriate impression.
- Choose your accessories wisely and avoid a cluttered appearance. Stick to one or two selected accessories to complement the outfit in style without overdoing it.
It is important to focus on the bride and groom and treat their outfits with respect. These tips will help you find an appropriate and stylish suit that suits the wedding and makes you stand out as a tasteful guest.
