How to Choose Your Wedding Suit According to Stylists

What makes a great suiting destination? When looking for where to get a suit for a wedding, it's critical to find the intersection of quality, style, accessibility and fit based on your individual needs. Keep this advice from men's style expert Turner Allen, founder of The Style Turner, in mind. "Start early, stay true to your vision and remember: the right suit doesn't just fit your body, it fits the moment," Allen says.

Groom Suit Considerations

So, you're ready to buy your wedding day suit. After you coordinate the overall color palette and formality level with your partner and their attire, the following are some groom attire tips in mind as you go shopping.

• Consider Custom Versus Off-The-Rack: Since you'll be in the spotlight all day, many grooms purchase custom wedding suits to ensure a perfect fit. Made-to-measure suits cost more than off-the-rack, but they offer complete customization from the fabric to the color.
• Key Offerings to Consider: "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," advises Allen. "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."
• Balance Trends with Timelessness: It's important to look and feel like yourself on your wedding day, so don't feel obligated to embrace every passing fashion trend. Never underestimate the power of a timeless suit or tuxedo that you'll still love looking back at 10, 25 or 50 years from now. "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," says Allen.
• Inquire About Tailoring: A good retailer will provide in-house alterations or recommend a trusted local specialist. Streamlining your tailoring through the retailer gives you one less vendor to source on your wedding checklist.

Groomsmen & Wedding Party Options

Whether choosing a single retailer for your entire wedding party or picking out your own look as a groomsman, keep these factors in mind.

• Affordability: Groomsmen manage multiple wedding expenses. Prioritizing affordable suit options helps alleviate financial pressure on your party—and many retailers offer bulk or group discounts to save even more.
• Size Inclusivity: A party of eight often means eight completely different body types. Look for retailers with extensive size ranges, including Short, Long and Big & Tall offerings.
• Accessibility: If your party is spread across the country, choose an online vendor or a national chain with brick-and-mortar stores so everyone has convenient shopping access.
• Confirm Style Details: Double-check the exact colors, fabrics and shoe choices requested by the couple before buying.

Wedding Guest Attire Rules

You likely received a wedding invitation in the mail and need an outfit. Here's what to keep in mind when suit shopping as a guest.

• Check Formality Levels: Reference the couple's wedding website for the dress code. You don't want to show up in casual linen if the event is black-tie optional.
• Aim for Longevity: While you're shopping with a loved one's wedding in mind, choose a suit you can wear again to get the most bang for your buck. Pick a versatile style and neutral color that seamlessly transitions to work, holiday parties or future formal events.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wedding Suit Shopping

From finding the right fit to deciding how much to spend, shopping for a wedding suit as the groom, bridal party or a guest comes with plenty of questions. Here's what you should know as you're browsing.

Is it better to buy or rent a wedding suit?

Buying a wedding suit is usually the better option if you want a tailored fit, unique color options or a garment you can rewear for future events. Renting is best reserved for traditional tuxedos or budget-conscious groomsmen who only need formal wear for a single day.

How much should you spend on a wedding suit?

Expect to pay between $200 and $500 for a quality off-the-rack wedding suit from retailers. Made-to-measure and custom suits from brands generally range from $450 to $900, while high-end designer or bespoke suits start around $1,000.

How far in advance of the wedding should you buy a suit?

You should order a wedding suit at least 3 to 4 months before the wedding date. If you are ordering a custom or made-to-measure suit online, aim for 4 to 6 months in advance to account for production, shipping and local tailoring alterations.

How do you know if a suit fits properly online?

When shopping online, focus primarily on the shoulder alignment and chest measurement, as these are the most difficult and expensive areas to alter later. Utilize the brand's interactive fit tools, measure a well-fitting jacket you already own and leave room in your budget for minor adjustments by a local tailor.

What is the difference between off-the-rack, made-to-measure and custom suits?

Off-the-rack suits are premanufactured in standard suit sizes and usually require local tailoring. Made-to-measure suits are constructed using your specific measurements applied to an existing brand pattern. Fully custom suits feature a unique pattern built entirely from scratch to your exact body specifications as well as your fabric, thread and even button preferences.
