Short answer
The best wedding hairstyles for men are a classic short back and sides, a textured crop, a slicked-back style, or longer hair tied back neatly. Choose what suits your face shape and feels comfortable.
Men's wedding hairstyles should look polished but still feel like you. A classic short back and sides is safe, smart, and easy to maintain. A textured crop, with a little product for definition, looks modern and works well with most suits. A slicked-back style, using pomade or gel, gives a sharp and formal feel, especially for black tie weddings. If you have longer hair, consider tying it back neatly in a low ponytail or bun, with the sides tucked in or styled back. You could also wear it loose if it is well groomed and suits the occasion.
Think about your face shape and hairline. A good barber can advise on what will suit you best. Have a haircut about a week before the wedding, so it settles and looks natural. If you usually style your own hair, practise the exact look a few times before the day. Bring your own product to the wedding venue, or ask your barber for a small sample. Keep it simple. You want to look like the best version of yourself, not someone else. If you are having a morning wedding, consider whether your hair will need a refresh before the evening reception.
