This year, we saw M.J. Bale bring the most dapper and delightful grooms suit looks to our Sydney runway. They served up the most sought-after groom suit trends in 2024; from timeless tuxedos to vintage styles – there was a look to compliment groom and wedding style. If you are getting married and you have your eye on THE dress, we recommend helping your partner with his suit so your looks marry up, pardon the pun! If you want to make sure your photos look picture perfect, look no further than MJ. Bale. They have a Love Hub which is essentially a store-within-a-store, dedicated to finding the perfect groom suit for your man. M.J. Bale makes this a special experience, armed with menswear stylists to kit out grooms and wedding parties. We highly recommend bringing your groom (and even his whole party) to the “Groom room” they call the M.J. Bale Love Hub so they can choose their wedding party outfit in style and make some more special memories along the way.
To get you started on this exciting journey take a look at the top 6 groom suit trends you need to know about.
1. TIMELESS AND TRADITIONAL
There’s something so luxe about a groom with a tuxe. There’s simply no way we can go past the timeless and traditional tuxedo option by M.J. Bale for a more formal or blacktie wedding. Deliver your “I do’s” with ultimate class and set the tone for the evening’s events. The great thing about a Tuxedo is that they are far more versatile than you think – every gent needs a classic wardrobe staple for formal events to come. The Saunders suit is made from 100% pure Australian wool and crafted in Biella, Italy.
2. BEACH BAE
We just take one look at this sand-coloured, tonal grooms suit from M.J. Bale and we can virtually hear the waves crashing on the sand. Neutral and relaxed, The Robertson suit simply exudes summer beach wedding. Keep it fresh and clean with a crisp white shirt and pocket square. The Robertson suit from M.J. Bale is a best seller for a reason – crafted from luxurious cotton-linen blend, the jacket is lightweight and breathable – perfect for those Aussie summer nights (and days).
3. MASTERING MONOCHROMATIC
Sharp, slick and ready to bust out some serious moves on the D-floor – we are next level obsessed with this monochromatic groom suit look by M.J. Bale. Dark and alluring, yet oh-so smart, the Saunders suit is so versatile for so many grooms and wedding locations. Pair with a black shirt and accessories for a modern, polished look that will still stand the test of time.
4. VOWS IN VELVET
Raise your glasses! If you have a groom who dares to stand out make sure you have the Vicario Jacket by M.J. Bale on your hist list. Peak lapels add a touch of boldness and the patch pockets are an ode to the vintage sport jacket days. The jacket is crafted from the most unique corduroy fabric and is an incredible wardrobe piece that will most certainly be worn for many years to come. Keep it simple with a white shirt and navy trousers
5. GARDEN GROOM
With the changes in weddings, we’ve certainly seen a rise in couples opting for garden soirees. The garden groom look is the perfect way to exude understated sophistication. The Flynn jacket and trouser set is the perfect pop of green to create a unique look. Tailored to a slim fit, it’s been designed with movement in mind. The checked jacket is perfectly juxtaposed by a subtly printed pocket square. Style with a crisp white shirt for extra style points!
6. VINTAGE VIBES
This vintage-esque look is made for a groom who loves adding a vintage twist to his sartorial style.*Ring, ring* the 1970’s called and they want their look back but there is no way we’d part with this statement checked Worcester Jacket. With this look we recommend allowing the jacket to do most of the talking, pairing back with more relaxed items – a white unbuttoned shirt and chinos. Simply add some suede loafers and you have the most dapper wedding look!
