Some suits are tailored for certain seasons, and one prime example of a seasonal suit choice would be tweed. Best for autumn and winter celebrations, these pieces are made of dense wool and are crafted to keep you warmer than something like airy cotton. Also, tweed often comes in checkered patterns—whether subtle or bold—and at a wedding, they're sure to stand out in a sea of black suits.

Tweed became especially popular in the United Kingdom, as the fabric originated in Scotland and Ireland, and was worn by farmers before the British upper class got ahold of it. Today, you can find tweed suits in a variety of colors, which can sometimes look more on the casual side. Thus, to keep a tweed suit more formal for an evening wedding, opt for darker colors like a deep brown, green, navy blue, or gray.

Sourced from the best retailers with the most reputable reviews, here's a look at the best tweed wedding suits that are sure to keep anyone warm during the fall and winter seasons.

Fit: Silm fit | Care: Dry clean

The dark blue color of this suit gives it a traditionally formal look, and the tweed fabric is very subtle. It's the perfect choice for someone looking for a classic piece.

Fit: Classic | Care: Dry clean

Made of a Tussah silk and wool tweed sourced from Italy, this suit has a luxe and sleek look to it. The dark blue also makes the windowpane check pattern a bit more subtle.

Fit: Made-to-measure | Care: Dry clean

This made-to-measure suit is created with your exact measurements for a great fit. The classic navy shade makes this feel traditional, but the three-piece styling gives it a bit of an edge.

Brown is a popular color for tweed suits, but this one really stands out thanks to its tailored, modern fit. Details like felt lining under the collar, and the working button cuffs, give it a little something extra.

Fit: Tailored | Care: Dry clean

The light blue color of this suit makes it work for an early spring wedding when it's still chilly enough to wear tweed. It can be worn with a button-down, or styled more casually as shown.

Fit: Classic | Care: Dry clean

The pattern of this tweed suit is different from a lot of other options out there, making it a bit more unique. The brown color is also unexpected for a wedding.

Fit: Regular | Care: Dry clean

This green two-piece suit has a fun windowpane check design that gives it a funky look. Velvet accents also match the design to provide a very wintery feel.

Fit: Custom | Care: Dry clean

This is a beautiful shade of brown that feels very versatile and works for both formal and casual events. The checkered pattern stands out, and we love the option of the vest.

Fit: Relaxed | Care: Dry clean

This is a beautiful shade of gray that makes the suit appear classic and very formal. It's a relaxed fit, offering a little extra room to move around, and features a marl finish throughout.

Fit: Slim fit | Care: Dry clean

You normally don't see a formal tweed suit in brighter colors, so this fuchsia one is definitely unique. We love the bold color, and it's still dark enough to work for an evening wedding.

Fit: Regular | Care: Dry clean

Navy is a great way to stay formal if you don't want to wear black or gray. This suit is a nice color with a comfortable fit, and it comes at a good price point.

Fit: Slim fit | Care: Dry clean

This sage Moss London tweed suit is so interesting to look at and is perfect for outdoor ceremonies in the cooler months. While this feels more on the casual side, it can work for a daytime wedding.

Fit: Classic | Care: Dry clean

The dark gray shade of this suit and the comfortable and classic fit makes it ideal for a more formal wedding. Follow the styling lead and wear it with a skinny tie and loafers.

Fit: True to size | Care: Dry clean

Classic and oh-so-chic, this layered herringbone tweed suit from Umit Benan B+ is definitely worth the high price tag. We love this for late winter or early autumn, and it's our favorite choice on the list.

Fit: Slim fit | Care: Dry clean

This light blue color makes the tweed suit seem much more modern and a lot less stuffy. The herringbone pattern is subtle and this is a very versatile piece.

Fit: True to size | Care: Dry clean

A bit on the causal side, this suit is for the groom with fashion-forward sensibilities. We love it for a rehearsal dinner, a reception, or even a night out after the big day.

Fit: Classic | Care: Dry clean

This suit uses Merino wool for a softer look and a more lightweight feel, making it a bit less heavy than your traditional tweed. Wear the pieces separately or together depending on the look you're going for.

Fit: Custom | Care: Dry clean

The double breast of this jacket makes the entire suit look more sophisticated and put together. We love the deep grey as well.

Since tweed suits work best for weddings in the autumn or winter, you should look for a suit that will keep you warm without making you feel overheated. Try on different looks and get a good idea of the fabric to ensure that the suit feels comfortable enough to wear on your big day. Tweed pieces can also come in many different colors and patterns, and for a more casual wedding, feel free to play around with hues like light blue or green plaid. For something more formal, opt for darker shades and more subtle tones like black or navy blue.

Tweed suits can definitely be appropriate for an event like a wedding, but you should take the event into consideration. If you're going to a black-tie event or even a black-tie optional wedding, a tweed suit might not be formal enough—especially if it's any color other than black. But if you're going to a more casual wedding or a semi-formal affair, a tweed suit is a great pick.

Tweed wedding suits come in so many different hues, and that's certainly what makes them so fun. The color you choose for your suit should depend on your dress code and overall wedding theme. Opt for a unique shade like light blue or light brown for a more casual wedding, and dark-colored suits like black or deep green, for events that are more formal.

The best time to wear a tweed wedding suit is during the colder months since they are a heavier fabric. However, there's no rule that you can't wear them during the spring or summer, but they might be too warm depending on the climate.
