Father of the Groom Attire – Wedding Tuxedos

Your Complete Guide to Father of the Groom Attire

What This Collection Is

This collection focuses on refined, wedding-ready tuxedos and suits designed specifically for the father of the groom. These pieces strike the perfect balance between elevated formality and understated sophistication—sharp enough to honor the moment, but not overpowering the groom. Expect timeless blacks and navies, rich mid-tones, modern fit options, and special-occasion fabrics that photograph beautifully without feeling overly flashy.

Why This Collection Matters

The father of the groom plays a meaningful role in the wedding day—greeting guests, walking family members, giving toasts, and standing beside the couple during some of the most photographed moments. His look should feel intentional, polished, and complementary to the overall wedding aesthetic. Perfect Tux curates this collection to simplify that process, combining modern fits, wedding-approved colors, and higher-quality fabrics that rise far above department-store basics and rental wear. If you're near Santa Clarita, our showroom offers the chance to compare fits and finalize the look with in-person guidance.

How to Choose the Right Father of the Groom Look

Fit: Modern, Slim, or Classic

A modern fit is the most popular choice—clean lines, comfortable movement, and a flattering profile in photos. Slim fits work well for dads who prefer a sharper silhouette, while classic fits offer ease through the shoulders and midsection without looking outdated.

Color: Coordinate, Don’t Compete

Choose a color that aligns with the groom’s and groomsmen’s palette. Traditional choices like black and navy from our black tuxedos and navy blue tuxedos & suits collections always work. For weddings with softer tones, explore mid-range hues—charcoal, champagne, or grey options similar to our grey wedding suits & tuxedos.

Fabric & Seasonality

Lightweight wool blends and satin-accent tuxedos work year-round. For warm-season or outdoor weddings, consider breathable options that mirror the feel of our summer wedding suits. Evening and indoor weddings lean toward richer, more structured fabrics.

Body Type Considerations

Structured shoulders help create a balanced frame. Darker tones slim the profile, while textured jackets or slight sheen elevate without leaning flashy. If comfort is key, look for modern-fit jackets and adjustable waist pants.

Accessories That Complete the Look

Choose accessories that feel polished but not overly bold. A satin bow tie, a crisp pocket square, and clean dress shoes complete the wedding aesthetic. Explore our bow ties, pocket squares, and tuxedo shoes collections for finishing touches.

Styling Tips

Start with a well-fitted tuxedo or suit that complements the wedding palette. A black or navy tuxedo with a white shirt and satin bow tie keeps things timeless. For weddings with more personality, a soft tonal suit—like those seen in our champagne wedding suits or green wedding suits—can tie beautifully into the theme. If the groom is wearing a statement jacket, balance it with a classic look that still feels elevated.

Event-Specific Guidance

Traditional Weddings

Black or navy tuxedos are the safest, most elegant choice. Look toward our formal wedding attire or wedding tuxedos for timeless options.

Modern or Themed Weddings

Neutral tones, tonal suits, and subtle patterns fit well. Collections like pastel wedding suits or garden wedding attire offer inspiration without overpowering the groom.

Outdoor or Seasonal Weddings

For spring and summer, choose breathable fabrics and lighter shades similar to our spring wedding suits. For fall or winter weddings, deeper tones—burgundy, emerald, charcoal—pair well with the season.

Blended Dress Codes

If the wedding party is wearing tuxedos and suits interchangeably, stay on the formal end of the spectrum: clean lines, minimal patterns, satin details, and polished accessories. You can always match your style to the groom’s direction without matching his exact outfit.
