10 Formal Attire Ideas for Weddings and Special Events

When it comes to weddings and special events, dressing appropriately is more than just following a dress code — it’s about making a lasting impression. The right formal attire should reflect elegance, personality, and attention to detail. At Wessi, we design suits and accessories that help men look their absolute best for life’s most important moments. Here are 10 refined formal attire ideas to inspire your next special occasion look.

1. The Classic Black Tuxedo

Timeless and sophisticated, the black tuxedo is a go-to choice for formal evening events. Pair it with a crisp white dress shirt, black bow tie, and polished patent leather shoes. Wessi’s tuxedos are tailored for a flawless fit, ensuring you look sharp from ceremony to reception.

2. Navy Three-Piece Suit

A navy three-piece suit offers versatility and depth. It works perfectly for daytime weddings or evening receptions. Add a patterned tie and pocket square for a touch of individuality. Wessi’s three-piece suits balance modern tailoring with classic elegance.

3. Double-Breasted Suit

Make a bold statement with a double-breasted suit in charcoal or midnight blue. Its structured silhouette exudes confidence and refinement — ideal for upscale events. Wessi tailoring ensures the fit is both comfortable and commanding.

4. Velvet Dinner Jacket

For winter weddings or glamorous evening parties, a velvet dinner jacket in deep jewel tones like burgundy or emerald green adds richness and luxury. Pair with black trousers and a sleek bow tie for a standout look.

5. Light Grey Suit for Daytime Events

Perfect for spring and summer weddings, a light grey suit feels fresh yet formal. Pair with a pastel shirt or tie for seasonal charm. Wessi’s summer collection offers lightweight fabrics to keep you cool and stylish.

6. Patterned Blazer with Solid Trousers

For semi-formal events with creative flair, try a patterned blazer — checks, windowpane, or subtle floral — paired with solid trousers. Wessi blazers come in unique designs that balance boldness with elegance.

7. White Dinner Jacket

A white dinner jacket is an elegant choice for warm-weather evening weddings. Pair with black trousers, a black bow tie, and polished shoes for a James Bond–inspired look.

8. Black Tie with a Twist

Modernize the black-tie look with a midnight blue tuxedo, velvet lapels, or a statement bow tie. Wessi’s formalwear range offers subtle updates to the classic for men who want to stand out without breaking tradition.

9. Formal Attire with Cultural Influence

Incorporate cultural elements into your formalwear — from embroidered jackets to traditional cuts — for a personalized and meaningful touch. Wessi can tailor designs to reflect your heritage while keeping the look event-appropriate.

10. Tailored Suit with Statement Accessories

Even the most classic suit can be elevated with the right accessories: silk ties, cufflinks, lapel pins, and elegant watches. Wessi accessories are crafted to complement our formal suits and help you make a polished statement.
