What should my groom wear to match my vintage 60s wedding dress?

A vintage 60s wedding dress calls for a groom’s look that feels timeless, elegant, and effortlessly classic. Depending on the level of formality and the overall wedding vibe, here are a few stylish options:

1. Classic 60s Elegance: Black or Ivory Tuxedo

• A traditional black tuxedo with a bow tie is a perfect match for a vintage 60s aesthetic—think James Bond sophistication.
• For a softer touch, an ivory tuxedo jacket with black trousers creates a glamorous old-Hollywood feel.

2. Retro Mod: Slim-Fit Suit in Charcoal or Navy

• A slim-cut charcoal or deep navy suit with a crisp white shirt and a skinny tie captures the sharp tailoring of the 60s.
• A double-breasted suit could also work if you’re after a bold, structured look.

3. Playful & Unique: Tweed or Velvet Blazer

• If your wedding leans into a bohemian 60s style, a tweed suit in brown or grey adds charm and character.
• A velvet blazer (deep green, burgundy, or midnight blue) brings a luxe vintage feel while making a stylish statement.

4. The Finishing Touches

• Skinny or vintage-style ties keep the retro look polished.
• Pocket squares in subtle prints or muted tones add personality.
• A waistcoat in a complementary fabric adds depth and a dapper touch.

The key is to ensure the groom’s suit enhances the vintage vibe while still feeling sharp and stylish. If you need help finding the perfect look, reach out at hello@modusoperandisydney.com.au—we’d love to assist!

I would love to see your dress to give you some specific advice. Depending on the style, and tone of the dress there are plenty of options.

1 - You could select from the range of 60's styles to match the dress

2 - You could keep him classic in a tuxedo - this will compliment almost anything

3 - You could opt for stylising the outfits, you vintage, him modern

The options go on. But keep in mind things like, where you are getting married. If your dress is vintage, and the venue is quite rustic as well, then no purpose to dressing him modern. Use your theme's and colours to style him, and try an let him be a part of the process.

If you do want some specific guidance, feel free to e-mail me direct (enquiries@brittonsformalwear.com.au) particularly if you have a photo of the dress, as this would help a lot.

Hi there, 

Thanks for your query! 

Depending on the tone of your dress, a linen or wool suit in a light colour, navy or blue would compliment well. We would also suggest brown accessories such as shoes and/or belt to match.
