Short answer
Wear modest, formal clothing such as a tailored suit or traditional attire like a sherwani or thobe. Avoid flashy colours and keep the outfit respectful and elegant.
For a Muslim wedding, the groom should aim for modest and formal dress. A well-tailored suit in a dark or neutral colour, such as navy, grey or black, is always appropriate. Many grooms choose to wear a sherwani or a kurta with a waistcoat, especially for the nikah ceremony. If you are attending as a guest or a member of the wedding party, follow the couple's lead. In some Muslim communities, the groom wears a thobe, which is a long robe, often white or cream. You can also wear a turban if that is part of your tradition. The key is to cover your shoulders and legs, and to avoid clothing that is too tight or revealing. For the mosque or religious ceremony, you may need to remove your shoes, so wear clean socks. If the wedding includes a separate reception, you can change into a different outfit, but keep it modest. Always check with the couple or their family about any specific expectations. They may have a dress code or cultural traditions you should follow. Being respectful and asking questions is the best way to ensure you dress appropriately.
