THE LOOK: KEEPING IT CLASSIC
PROS SAY: “Fall is a time where classic formal attire looks the best,” says Zahir Rajani, CEO and co-creative director at the Sartorial Shop. “Think about looking back at your pictures in 10 to 15 years—pick something you know you’ll be happy looking back at.”
WEAR IT: A traditional black suit with a bow tie, or even a tux, heats things up at a winter wedding.
THE LOOK: ONE WITH NATURE
PROS SAY: “Nature is always at the forefront of a fall wedding,” says Michael Mahood, owner of Martin Fisher Tailors. “Lean into the fall colours and the rich palette—cohesion in design is always important, and even more so in the case of a fall wedding.”
WEAR IT: Forest green or rust-coloured suits look just right in a rustic setting.
THE LOOK: CONTRAST IS KEY
PROS SAY: “For grooms getting married at garden-like venues, variations of cream, tan and beige have also been highly in demand,” notes Will Chen, senior stylist at Surmesur Custom Menswear.
WEAR IT: Warm up the winter with chic shades of white.

THE LOOK: MAKE A STATEMENT
PROS SAY: “Fall wedding outfits offer a unique opportunity to play with colour, layers and texture,” says Pat Cocco, master tailor at Seville Tailors. “A heavier weighted fabric, varying tones of colour and interesting textures can all play into a statement outfit for your wedding.”
WEAR IT: Velvet, flannel or tweed suits bring a little drama to the ceremony, if you dare.
THE LOOK: ACCESSORIZING IN STYLE
PROS SAY: “Classic accessories like cummerbunds, tuxedo placket studs and suspenders are making a stylish comeback,” says Chen. “For those who want to add a touch of individuality, neckwear crafted from textured materials like wool or Shantung silk is a must.”
WEAR IT: Take a look to the next level with stylish accessories.

WEAR IT: Rich ruby and emerald tones are ideal for the cooler months.
THE LOOK: DRESSED TO MOVE
PROS SAY: “Fit and comfort are key,” says Danny Bassi, founder of Modello Bespoke. “You want something that moves with you throughout the day—from ceremony to late-night dancing.”
WEAR IT: A breathable, structured fabric in a proper cut will always serve better than something light and flimsy.
