2026 groom style is bringing in a wave of trendy. Gone are the days when a groom’s style began and ended with a rented tux. In 2026, grooms are embracing their own fashion moments—layering texture, colour, and personality into looks that evolve from ceremony to celebration. And leading the charge in Canada’s modern menswear movement is Collins Clothiers, a trusted name in clothing that’s redefining what it means to look—and feel—your best on your wedding day.

Ceremony: Timeless Foundations

The wedding day begins with classic confidence. For the ceremony, Collins Clothiers guides grooms toward timeless silhouettes with modern flair: slim-cut tuxedos, rich navy suits, or ivory dinner jackets accented by silk bow ties and polished shoes.

“Your ceremony look sets the tone,” says Curt Collins, owner of Collins Clothiers. “We start with traditional elements—fit, structure, and fine fabrics—but always add a detail that feels personal. Maybe it’s a custom embroidered inscription, a pop of colour in the pocket square, or a fabric that complements your partner’s attire.”

Reception: Relaxed Sophistication

After the vows and photos, the mood shifts from formal to festive. Grooms are opting for a second look that’s relaxed but still refined—think soft stretch blazers, open collars, or bold patterned jackets that invite movement and personality.

“By the reception, comfort matters,” says Collins. “We often recommend switching from a structured tuxedo to a lighter fabric or a jacket with subtle texture. It’s still sharp—it just says, ‘Now it’s time to celebrate.’”

After-Party: Statement Style

When the dance floor lights dim, the groom’s style takes on new life. Collins Clothiers’ after-party looks feature statement jackets in velvet or brocade, minimalist black-on-black ensembles, or even custom pieces embroidered with initials or wedding dates.

“These are the pieces that showcase real individuality,” says Collins. “A groom might choose a sharp double-breasted suit, a bold paisley jacket, or elevate his look with sparkle dress shoes or luxe loafers. It’s about style that feels fresh, memorable, and uniquely his. The goal is confidence—the kind of look that makes you feel so good you’ll want to stay out on the dance floor all night.”

For nearly 60 years, Collins Clothiers has dressed grooms across Canada and beyond, from timeless black-tie affairs to boho vineyard celebrations. With expert tailors, personalized rentals, and personal styling services, they make every stage of the day—ceremony, reception, or after-party—look effortlessly cohesive.

Because when it comes to wedding style, the modern groom isn’t just showing up—he’s showing off his story, one perfectly tailored look at a time.
