Quick answer
For a solemnisation in Singapore, men wear a smart suit in a light or mid tone such as light blue, grey, beige or navy, with a crisp shirt and tie. The groom may add a waistcoat or boutonniere. Choose breathable fabric, because indoor and outdoor venues can both be warm.
Key takeaways
- ✓Light and mid tones photograph well.
- ✓The groom can stand out with a waistcoat or tie.
- ✓Guests should dress slightly simpler than the groom.
- ✓Choose breathable fabric.
Dressing for the Groom
A solemnisation is intimate and often photographed closely. A 3-piece suit in light blue, grey, beige or navy gives the groom a distinct, polished look. Add a tie or pocket square that picks up the couple's colours.
Guests
Guests should look smart without competing with the couple. Navy, grey or a lighter suit with a muted tie works well. Avoid white and cream.
