A Guide To Men’s Rehearsal Dinner Attire
The rehearsal dinner is a classy prerequisite to the whole shebang, aka the wedding. So much emphasis is put on the big day that men are left scrambling to put together a rehearsal dinner outfit. Whether you’re the groom or a guest in a wedding, you still need to look sharp the night before and you likely already have the right pieces in your wardrobe for this event. If you’re wondering what to wear to a rehearsal dinner, we’ve listed out some options below.
What To Wear To A Rehearsal Dinner
First, a note about the dinner. Rehearsal dinners are often hosted in upscale restaurants. A lot of times, the restaurant is even attached to the hotel that the wedding’s at the next day. Even though it’s fancy, the dinner is a social event that sets the tone for the whole wedding weekend.
You’ll be surrounded by other wedding guests, so add a little personality into your outfit. A patterned shirt, a bright pocket square, loafers sans socks (if the weather permits), or cufflinks that have great history are all great personal touches that could turn into conversation starters.

In two words: cocktail attire. Think about your business casual wardrobe if you have one. The look below is put together with a dark gray suit jacket and navy blue suit pants. The turquoise dress shirt and dotted tie help to spruce up these otherwise average suit separates. Easy peasy.
There are a few scenarios when you should wear a full suit & tie to a rehearsal dinner:
- You’re the groom and your wedding the next day has a very formal or Black Tie dress code.
- The rehearsal dinner restaurant is extremely fancy. Like, 3 Michelin Stars fancy.
- Your fiance tells you to 🙂
If you’re a guest and wearing a full suit & tie is just your thing, wear a casual suit and have fun with it, like the guys below.
