One of the trickiest decisions you’ll make for your destination wedding is how to decide on what the groom and groomsmen will wear. You know that the weather will be warm, but you don’t want the guys looking too casual on your big day. And with how many pictures will be taken, you want something formal, but comfortable under the hot sun. Here are some beach wedding groom attire ideas to consider, and the best places to shop for your destination wedding.

First, we’ll be going over different color schemes you may be considering for your destination wedding and some options to shop that particular look below each photo. If you’re just looking for specific stores and websites to shop from, we’ll be going over that further into the post.

Light Gray

If you don’t love the linen material look for your groom, consider them in a lighter color like a warm gray. Light gray still looks put together, isn’t too much to handle, and gives a more formal look while still staying cool. Plus, you can still add a pop of color in whatever accessories they’ll be wearing that matches the bridesmaids.

Linen & White

As stated earlier, linen is still a very popular color option for a destination wedding. It compliments the climate well, while keeping the guys cool with lighter material. You can dress them up by adding a vest or suit jacket, add accessories with a pop of color, or keep it casual with minimal added accessories.

We explain the different types of linen pants and options in a little more detail below. As you’ll notice, they can range from casual looking to a little more formal, so your shopping will depend on how dressed up you want the look to be.

Navy or Dark Grey

If you strongly prefer a darker color like navy blue or dark gray, just try to keep the overall look to very few layers so the men don’t overheat. As you can see in these photos there’s no vest or suit jacket except on the groom. They still look sharp with their accessories, but keeping it as cool as possible with only a button up shirt and pants.

Best Places to Shop for Men’s Beach Groom Wedding Attire

One of the perks for having a destination wedding is the difference in attire. You aren’t as pressured to get tuxes for your groom and groomsmen, or formal dresses for your bridesmaids. But because of this, you aren’t sure about the best place to shop for men’s beach wedding groom attire. Here are a few financially friendly options to consider for the best places to buy groomsmen attire.

Linen/Cotton Material:

Island Importer

If you’re looking specifically for linen pants this is a great site to start for men’s beach wedding groom attire. For example, take a look at this particular pair of pants.

As you can see there are 3 steps to ordering. Step one is to choose a color. Step two is to put in the measurements, so make sure to tell your groomsmen they still need to get measurements if they don’t have them already. Finally, step three is to put in the wedding/departure date.

This site will take 6-8 weeks to complete your order so it’s imperative that your groomsmen order on time. There are added fees to expedite the order if they happen to take their time ordering.

Keep in mind that they do have other pants where the groomsmen can just put in their waist measurement, which most men know already. This doesn’t include a length though, so if you want them looking more tailored a custom order would still be required.

This site also includes men’s shirts and suits, boy’s clothes, and even bridal dresses. So many great options for a destination wedding!

Cubavera

Another good option for linen material attire. They seem to have a sale pretty often which makes them a financially friendly option. Even if there is not a sale at the time, it’s still a cheaper option than renting a tuxedo and the groomsmen get to keep their clothes.

One con for this site is that the pants are sized pretty well (waist and length measurement), but the jackets are only a S-XXL option. For your large guests this might be tricky to get a big enough jacket. Also, your groomsmen may end up having to pay to get it tailored anyway if it doesn’t fit quite right.

If you’re looking for a slim or skinny fit you may not find it here, as Cubavera has limited fit options.

Wedding Tropics

Another great option for beach wedding groom attire. Wedding Tropics offers a little more of a tailored fit without having to get it tailored. For their shirts they offer a standard size, fitted or standard fit, and short or long sleeve.

For their pants they just offer a standard waist size.

Formal Looks:

There are plenty of places to shop for men’s suits, suit separates, or just a simple pair of dress pants and a button up shirt. A tuxedo or formal suit is going to be too warm in a tropical climate, so it’s a really popular option to dress the men down a little bit more, while still looking put together.

Macy’s

Macy’s has a ton of suit and suit separate options. If you wait for a good sale it can be pretty affordable as well. Sales run pretty often so don’t buy the suit at full price! This particular suit above is originally $395.00, but on sale for $98.99. Unfortunately, if you’re looking for the linen material you see a lot of beach weddings, Macy’s doesn’t have many options in that category.

What’s nice about these suit options is that the groomsmen can wear them multiple times after your wedding. They’ll still mostly likely have to get them tailored, but after that your groomsmen should have a really nice suit for life.

ASOS

What’s nice about ASOS is that they have a specific section for weddings to shop under. Their prices are for the whole suit. For example, for the picture listed below it gives you the price of $127.00. Once you look further the prices are broken down as $87.00 for the jacket, $40.00 for the pants, and $40.00 for the vest. Similar to Macy’s, the groomsmen may or may not have to get their suits tailored depending on how well they fit based on sizing.

Amazon

Amazon is an affordable option that most people are very familiar with ordering from. They have affordable options, but most likely the men will need to get their clothes tailored. This suit, for example, is only sized from S-XXL, so it won’t fit perfectly. Thankfully, because it’s so affordable, getting it tailored will still save them money in the long run, and they’ll be able to wear it more than once.
