3 Must Have Groom Suits For Under $500
A wedding’s not cheap. From the venue to the catering to the flowers—the happy moment makes you hemorrhage money. And while the bride typically spends a small fortune on her dress, the groom still needs to look sharp. He could, in theory, spend as much as his wife-to-be, or he could snap up one of these three Yahoo Style-approved suits that will make him look like a million bucks—without breaking the bank.
The Traditional Black Tuxedo
You will never go wrong with a classic black tuxedo. It’s timeless, elegant and universally flattering. Pair the suit with either a classic white tuxedo shirt or a basic white shirt from your closet. The key to making it look altar-worthy is the fit. Invest in a good tailor and no one will know it wasn’t custom-made just for you.

The Trendy Tuxedo
This past year, best-dressed actors like Eddie Redmayne and Matt Bomer have worn navy tuxedos on various red carpets. A fresh color—navy, burgundy, forest green—turns a traditional silhouette on its head. But thanks to the classic cut—and again, an excellent fit—it remains timeless.

The Non-Traditional Suit
Tuxedos might not be for every groom. If you’re getting married in the country or on a beach, a khaki suit is your best option. The light color and breathable fabric guarantees you won’t sweat through your vows. If you’re feeling adventurous, try swapping out the classic white shirt with something a bit more fun, like a chambray shirt. We promise you’ll look both sharp and chic.
