How to Decide Where to Buy Wedding Suits

What makes a great suiting destination? When it comes to where to get a suit for a wedding, it's critical that you find the intersection of quality, style, accessibility, and fit based on your individual needs. Here is some advice to consider while reviewing suit places before you decide on the best one for you. And more than anything, keep in mind the advice of men's style expert Turner Allen, known for his platform The Style Turner: "Start early, stay true to your vision, and remember: the right suit doesn't just fit your body, it fits the moment."

Wedding Suits for Grooms

You're ready to buy the suit you'll say "I do" in—congrats! As you're planning your groom wedding attire, keep these tips in mind.

  • Consider custom: Since you'll be in the spotlight all day, many grooms purchase custom wedding suits so they can ensure a perfect suit fit. Made-to-measure suits may be on the pricier side compared to off-the-rack, but the world is your oyster when it comes to customization with fabric, color, and beyond.
  • Breadth of offerings: Allen emphasizes that grooms should weigh how many options and capabilities a suit place offers. "When comparing different suit retailers, it's important to consider key offerings like fabric selection, made-to-measure or custom capabilities, and whether they provide in-house tailoring. Prioritizing these elements ensures your wedding suit meets your expectations in terms of fit, quality, and style—so you feel your absolute best when it matters most." Personal stylist Peter Nguyen, founder of The Essential Man, concurs: "High-end designer brands often don't have the best sizing selection, especially if you don't fit into their particular aesthetic. I'd rather have my client purchase an entry-level tuxedo that fits well than a designer tuxedo that doesn't and costs triple the price. Even if you don't need it, it's a good sign if a retailer offers short and long sizing, not just on the suits, but also the shirts."
  • Balance trendiness with timelessness: While some of the most trendy suit ideas are absolute fire, bear in mind that you want to look back on your wedding suit years down the line and love it just as much as you did on day one. "Consider the design of your suit. Decide whether you'd like a traditional look or something more playful and unique—this will help you narrow down retailers that align with your vision," advises Allen.
  • Focus on cohesion: Even though your partner may be keeping their wedding attire a secret, work with them to align on the general vision for both of your outfits.
  • Inquire about tailoring: "Ask if they have an in-house tailor or where they outsource the tailoring," advises Nguyen. "A good retailer that sells suiting should have an in-house tailor or have a go-to tailor they've been working with."

Wedding Suits for Groomsmen

Whether you're a groom and are deciding on a single suit place where you'd like all the guys to shop or you're a groomsman who's been tasked with finding their own groomsmen attire, these tips will make the process smooth sailing.

  • Affordability: Groomsmen are on the hook for quite a few wedding expenses, from the bach party to travel costs and more. Focusing on affordable suits when it comes to groomsmen outfits is a great way to alleviate some of the financial commitment that comes with the gig.
  • Sizing: If there are eight groomsmen in the wedding party there's a good chance that they are each a different suit size. Looking for retailers that offer a wide range of sizes will ensure the wedding suits each groomsman dons looks sublime.
  • Accessibility and convenience: Are all the wedding party members spread across the US? Consider how easily folks can shop online from the chosen suit place. Alternatively, are they a nationwide retailer with plenty of brick-and-mortar spots for your bros to visit? Accessibility is key to making the process run smoothly. Another thing to keep an eye out for? Many spots that specialize in groomsmen suits also offer bulk ordering.
  • Triple-check the groom's wishes: If the groom has provided parameters for groomsmen attire, but is letting you do the shopping on your own, make sure you understand exactly what they want. One of my brother's groomsmen failed to do this and, let's just say, his khaki pants stood out quite noticeably from the other groomsmens' looks.

Wedding Suits for Guests

Maybe you're picking up your first suit or perhaps you're just looking to refresh a well-worn arsenal and your friend's wedding is simply an excuse to do so. Whatever your reason may be, finding the best place to get men's wedding guest attire is definitely not an endeavor navigated blindly.

  • Level of formality: Unsure about what you're expected to wear? Check the couple's wedding website to ensure that you're buying a suit that fits the bill for the celebration. No one wants to roll up in cocktail attire if black-tie fashion was requested.
  • Longevity: While you're shopping with your loved one's wedding in mind, you'll want to purchase a suit that you can wear down the road as well to get the most bang for your buck. Think about versatility when researching men's wedding guest outfits and where else you might wear the suit before making the purchase.

Best Places to Buy Suits for a Wedding

Shopping for wedding suits isn't only easy these days, it's also fun. While I don't wear suits, I can promise you that if any guy walked into a wedding in one of these suits, I would do a double-take. (And if they were a single wedding guest? I'd absolutely snag a dance with them.) I'm here to let you in on some of the suiting spots in the world of menswear today, the sort of places that help you look good in your suit and feel good about the experience of buying it.

Todd Snyder is one of the great menswear revelations of the last decade. Their offerings are the sort of classic prep-adjacent Americana that never goes out of style. The brand's suiting isn't necessarily their main focus but it's not to be slept on. And while their tux offerings are solid, the real gem is their selection of versatile semi-formal suiting, the sort that you can buy for a wedding and then find an excuse to wear a couple of times a month for years to come.

In terms of quality, style, fit, and accessibility, Suitsupply checks pretty much every box (even if some of its more luxe suits skew a bit spendy).

Both are available online or in-person at any of their many brick-and-mortar locations across the country (listed on their website). They offer basic entry-level suiting as well as more experimental suit cuts and fabrics, making them the perfect destination for suiting novices and veterans alike. If you're looking for a simple black suit, they've got you covered. And if you're looking for something wavier like a double-breasted linen number or a silk suit with shorts in an Italian cut, you'll leave happy and well-dressed.
