Fall and winter weddings are well underway and if you’re reading this there’s a good chance it’s because you have a save-the-date pinned to your refrigerator — or maybe you’re the one sending them around.
Wedding guest attire and groomswear alike can be a tricky thing, often determined by a nebulous combination of dress code, season, trends and setting. There are certain no-brainers — like, maybe don’t wear a linen suit to a winter wedding in a cold setting — but nailing a wedding look can still be a little harder than anticipated.

That’s where Men’s Wearhouse comes in. For decades they’ve been the go-to spot for grooms, best men and guests making sure they look their best for the big day. That’s no different today. Browse through their site or your local retail location and you’ll find an incredible lineup of fall-ready fits and winter wares. We’re talking wool and flannel-blend suits, earthy neutrals, autumnal oranges and the sort of accessories that make a winter wedding outfit shine. For guys looking for a point in the right direction, here are 10 great places to start.
Egara Slim Fit Dinner Jacket
Black tie doesn’t always mean a black tux. Bring the holiday vibes to your wedding day with this cherry-red tuxedo from Edgara.
Paisley & Gray Slim Flit Jacket
$132.99 $189.99 30% off
Dressing as a guest is a tricky thing — you want to make sure to show up looking your best without upstaging the groom.
A wine-colored suit is a great way to make that happen. You’ll stand out as one of the best-dressed guests without distracting everyone from the guy up at the altar.
Nautica Modern Fit Solid Suit
$276.50 $395 30% off
A word to the wise — don’t fear the brown suit. It’s your friend.
Brown is perfect for fall and winter alike, a welcome change of pace from the reliable navies and blacks of your wardrobe. They’re an instant wedding wear hack. Suit up in this one from Nautica and you’ll immediately look like you know what you’re doing.
Egara Plaid Socks
Bringing a seasonal touch to your wardrobe for a wedding doesn’t have to start with a suit. Sometimes it’s just about finding the right accessory. Case in point: these plaid socks from Egara are exactly what you should be wearing to a winter wedding.
Calvin Klein Slim Fit Plaid Suit
$289.98 $499.99 42% off
A pattern is a little tricky for a groom to pull off but it’s perfect for guests looking to put in some extra effort in looking their best for the big day.
Keep it subtle — remember, it’s about the groom, not you — with something like this simple windowpane plaid number from Calvin Klein.
Paisley & Gray Plaid Suit
$188.98 $269.98 30% off
Herringbone plaids are perfect for fall and winter, pairing well as full suits but just as well with separates.
If the dress code is more casual, mix it up with a denim shirt or an open collar. You’ll like this one so much you may find yourself wearing it long after the wedding has ended.
Joseph Abboud Modern Fit Chambray Shirt
If the wedding has a more relaxed dress code, chambray is perfect for the season. It’s still got an air of formality to it but you can have a lot more fun styling this one with suit separates, smart trousers and great shoes.
Joseph Abboud Alan Boots
$90.99 $129.99 30% off
Fall is the rare season in which dress shoes aren’t absolutely positively 100-percent required for a wedding.
If you’re attending one this season with a bit more of a rustic vibe, these boots from Joseph Abboud will pair great with a suit or separates. Maybe just don’t take them out for a hike or horseback ride before the wedding day.
Egara Narrow Petite Floral Tie (Brown)
Florals and paisleys aren’t just for spring weddings. The right ones — in seasonally appropriate colors and patterns — can still bring a big pop to an outfit this time of year. Check out this floral print tie from Egara that has all the fun of the pattern but in a more restrained neutral brown.
Calvin Klein Dress Shirt (Black)
$19.99 $64.99 69% off
When in doubt, always keep it black. The color will almost always work at a fall or winter wedding, especially if you’re doubling up on it (even less room for error when you’re sticking with the most reliable formal dressing color).
Pair a black dress shirt with a black suit and you’ll look properly debonair when you arrive to the venue. Heck, triple up and make your tie black as well.
