Groomsmen Suit Coordination Guide
Coordinating suits for a wedding party is one of the most common questions we handle at SuitedNoir. The good news: it's simpler than most grooms expect, and the results — a perfectly coordinated wedding party where every man's suit actually fits — are worth every bit of planning.
The core principle: same colour, individual measurements
Every man's body is different. A great groomsmen look comes from choosing one colour and then having every suit made to each individual man's exact measurements. At SuitedNoir, every groomsman orders their own suit — we build it specifically for their body. The result is a unified look that genuinely fits everyone, not a collection of standard sizes that kind of fit.
Choosing your groomsmen colour
The most popular groomsmen colours we see:
- Navy blue — the classic choice. Works in every season, every venue, every photograph. Timeless and universally flattering.
- Sage green — the dominant wedding colour of 2026. Beautiful against outdoor settings and florals.
- Dusty rose — soft, romantic, and stunning in natural light. Popular for spring and summer weddings.
- Charcoal grey — formal, versatile, and a great complement to the groom in a different colour.
- Ivory — relaxed and luminous for outdoor summer ceremonies.
- Terracotta — bold and earthy for boho and outdoor weddings.
Groom vs. groomsmen — how to differentiate
The most elegant approach: groom in a different colour or fabric from the groomsmen. Common combinations:
- Groom in ivory linen / Groomsmen in sage green linen
- Groom in navy velvet / Groomsmen in navy wool
- Groom in white / Groomsmen in dusty rose
- Groom in black tuxedo / Groomsmen in charcoal grey
- Groom with peak lapel / Groomsmen with notch lapel — same colour, different detail
How to coordinate orders
- Choose the colour and fabric — groom decides, shares with the wedding party
- Set a measurement deadline — give groomsmen 2-3 weeks to take and submit their measurements
- Share the measurement guide — send everyone the link to our measurement guide. It takes 20 minutes.
- Each groomsman orders individually — they browse the groomsmen collection, select the agreed colour, and submit their own measurements at checkout
- Each suit ships directly — to each groomsman's address, tracked and insured
Timeline for groomsmen orders
Order at least 10-12 weeks before the wedding when coordinating multiple men. This gives extra buffer for the natural delay in getting everyone to take their measurements. See our full wedding suit timeline guide.
