Editorial Guidelines Updated on April 1, 2023 Close Theo Milo Photography When same-sex grooms choose their wedding day looks, one of two things typically happen: They either go for matching ensembles or opt for entirely unique styles that highlight their respective personalities. We love both approaches (there's no wrong way!), but you'll ultimately have to decide what feels right for you and your husband-to-be. This is often a good place to start: Before you begin shopping for your big-day tuxedos or suits, decide whether or not you want your looks to have a degree of cohesion. To help you make that choice, we rounded up some of the most stylish same-sex grooms whose attire (and accessories!) stood out on their wedding day. We were sure to highlight both coordinating and individualized styles to cater to whichever fashion path you choose. If you do decide to take the matching route, consider donning traditional tuxes or fitted black suits—you can't go wrong with these classic looks, which nearly always translate well across all body types. If the matchy-matchy approach isn't for you, but you still want to wear looks that reference each other, make like these grooms, who made their individual styles work in tandem. Though their styles featured the same pieces (a jacket, button-up shirt, and straight-leg pants), they felt distinct thanks to their unique colorways. Their matching red boutonnières—which tied both ensembles together—also raise a good point: You can use accessories, like shoes, bow ties, or even sunglasses, to make drastically-different garments work together. Whatever you and your fiancé choose to wear on the big day, the following stylish grooms will guide you through the selection process, coordinating jackets, next-level accessories, and all. 01 of 19 Jackets and Neck Ties Anna Delores Photography These grooms looked in sync in their The Black Tux ensembles, despite their different jackets and neck ties.
