A well-stocked closet should include at least two different types of go-to wedding suits: one for spring and summer weather, another for fall and winter weather. While lightweight fabrics like linen and cotton are ideal for balmy summer days, they won't look right at a snowy winter wedding—and they definitely won't feel right.
The perfect winter wedding suit should be made of a durable, warm fabric—think something like wool, flannel, cashmere, or velvet if you're feeling fancy. Darker colors are generally more appropriate as well. Black and gray are always good standbys, but if you want to spice things up, look for burgundy, hunter green, or brown. And feel free to play around with texture as well, which can make you instantly look more bold and more stylish.
Read on for the best winter wedding suits for all styles and budgets.

What to Look for in a Winter Wedding Suit
Winter weddings call for suits in warm fabrics such as velvet, cashmere, tweed, and wool twill. These heavyweight fabrics not only look season-appropriate but they're made to be durable and to keep you warm. When it comes to color, suits in darker colors like black, navy, charcoal, and brown are classic options that work well for virtually any type of winter wedding. If your style is bold and statement-making, look for suits crafted from unexpected colors like burgundy or emerald green, or opt for an eye-catching pattern like houndstooth or pinstripes. And if you're looking for a style with a little added warmth consider a three-piece suit. Not only do they look dapper and polished, but the vest gives you an added layer of warmth.
FAQ
What fabrics are best for a winter wedding suit?
Opt for thick, warm fabrics that will keep you cozy without making you feel suffocated. Some good options include wool, cashmere, tweed, or herringbone. Velvet is nice too, but definitely has more of a bold look to it. Stay away from linen, seersucker, chambray, and cotton, all of which will be too lightweight.
What color should a winter wedding suit be?
There are no hard and fast rules, but in general, darker colors tend to work better for winter weddings. Classic shades like black, dark navy, brown, or charcoal always work, and if you want to do something more stylish and interesting, you can go for oxblood, burgundy, hunter green, or plum.
Can you wear a suit to a black-tie wedding?
Double-check the dress code. Black-tie generally calls for a tuxedo instead of a suit. If it's black-tie optional, a suit is appropriate, but it should be a dark shade like black or deep gray.
