It’s not a funeral. Enough with the all-black everything. Unexpected color combinations bring levity to conventional groom’s garb.

Double down. The double-breasted suit is making a comeback: Valentino and Paul Smith offer handsome takes on the old standby (the latter’s in pinstripes); Hermès’s steely gray version leans toward the traditional; and Loden Dager throws all the rules out the window with its Colonel Sanders getup.

Cloak him in velvet. Nothing conveys winter luxury like a plush velvet suit. Jackets in the textile du jour are sleek and understated at Bottega Veneta and Gucci, while Canali and Dolce & Gabbana amp things up with contrasting satin lapels and trim. Gucci Photo: Courtesy of the designer

Think in threes. Skinny or loose, three-piece suits gussy up both groom-bride and groom-groom matrimonials. Simon Spurr Photo: Courtesy of the designer
