Gone are the days when grooms simply “showed up in a suit.” In 2026, grooms will be stepping into the spotlight with style, personality, and social media-ready fashion statements. From bold tailoring to unexpected accessories, the modern groom isn’t just complementing the bride, he’s owning his look. Here are 10 trends you’ll see everywhere next year:
Add a little pop to your outfit. Emerald green, deep burgundy, and pastel tones are in. Harry Styles at the Met Gala, but wedding-ready. Grooms want to stand out and yes, it’s Instagram-worthy.
For beach or tropical weddings, tailored shorts with linen blazers or sleeveless blazer with sneakers are the ultimate “cool groom” move. Comfort meets editorial style, perfect for candid photography.
Capes, pocket squares, brooches, and even bold shirts are making the groom’s look unforgettable. Celebrities like Nick Jonas prove that the details make the man, and the photos pop.
Clean lines, tonal colors, and subtle textures appeal to grooms who want understated sophistication. Celebrities like Justin Bieber and Ryan Reynolds show that simplicity can be editorial.
Double-breasted suits are back, but with modern cuts, bold colors, and slim tailoring. Think James Bond meets Gen Z: classic, yet contemporary.
From statement watches and contrasting tie to velvet loafers and metallic cufflinks, grooms are embracing playful, personalized details. These are the small touches that make big impressions.
Velvet jackets, jacquard patterns, and satin finishes are making tuxedos feel more luxurious and tactile. Celebs like David Beckham and Timothée Chalamet have set the velvet standard for formal occasions and weddings are no exception.
2026 is the year of the groom’s spotlight. Fashion-forward men are embracing color, texture, pattern, and accessories with confidence. Luxury meets personality, and boldness meets elegance, ensuring that grooms finally get the fashion moments they deserve.
