What should the groom wear on the morning of the wedding while getting ready?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For the bridal party · For grooms

Short answer

The groom should wear something comfortable and easy to remove, such as a loose shirt or t-shirt with joggers or shorts. Avoid anything tight or fiddly, because you will need to change into your outfit without smudging makeup or creasing your clothes.

Comfort is the priority on the morning of the wedding. You will be moving around, helping with last minute tasks, and possibly having photos taken. A soft t-shirt or button-down shirt with joggers, tracksuit bottoms or shorts works well. Choose something you do not mind getting a little food or drink on, because breakfast can be messy.

Avoid anything with a high collar, tight sleeves or complicated fastenings. You will need to take it off quickly when it is time to get dressed, and you do not want to struggle with buttons while someone is waiting. If you are having your hair styled or makeup applied, wear a top that pulls over your head rather than one that needs to be unbuttoned.

Think about the weather. If it is cold, add a hoodie or a dressing gown. If it is warm, a vest or a loose shirt is fine. Some grooms like to wear a special robe or a personalised t-shirt for photos, but that is optional. The main thing is to feel relaxed and ready.
