30 Classic Wedding Bands for the Groom

There's a reason classic wedding bands are, well, classic: They're timeless designs that will always be in style. If your groom is the type of guy who likes to steer clear of trends and wants to keep his look buttoned-up, traditional, and sophisticated, he should shop for a wedding band that fits with his personal aesthetic. Luckily, we found plenty of classic wedding bands that will surely do the job.

But what should a guy look for in a classic wedding band? We suggest choosing a ring that's sleek, simple, and without too many embellishments. A band made of either high-polished platinum or white gold will never go out of style, and he can choose a size and weight that he feels comfortable wearing daily. Those aren't his only metal options, though. Deciding on a classic band doesn't mean your guy has to give up on the idea of color. In fact, yellow gold bands, especially those with a high-polish finish and a rounded shape, have been a popular style choice for newly-married grooms for years. If he'd prefer to match his band to yours, rose gold is another nice option, and it can be surprisingly subtle.

A classic wedding band doesn't mean he's limited to one size or shape, either. We found rings with a matte, textured finish and a polished line at the center and beveled edged, giving a traditional design a unique twist. You can also mix metals; consider pairing platinum and rose gold, or white and yellow gold. Combining timeless metals can be a cool way for your guy to show off his sense of style.
