Read on for our favorite suit styles to fit any occasion, from your engagement party to tying the knot.
The Engagement Party
It's easy to bask in post-engagement bliss when you're feeling like a 10 in a cobalt suit. The vibrant blue color works for all four seasons—meaning you can wear it again, plus you can add a matching vest depending on the venue and vibe. Trust us, you won't want to take it off after all the compliments start rolling in.

The Venue Search
It never hurts to dress for the venue you want, even if you're just looking. A tan jacket and pair of tailored pants say you mean business, while the premium cotton blend keeps you cool even on hotter days. If quiet luxury is the vibe you're channeling, this is it.

The Bach Party
A sharp navy suit for your bach party is a subtle something blue we can get behind (and we think your friends will, too). Generation Tux's new women's collection marries comfort and style, designing every pair of pants with stretch gussets and a flex waistband. Read: You can indulge in all the celebratory treats, but still stay comfortable enough to party into the wee hours of the night. Try it with a sparkly white top and pumps to up the festive feel.

Picking Up Your Marriage License at Town Hall
Look the part for the obligatory license pickup in an of-the-moment charcoal suit. Its straight silhouette is both timeless and polished, so you'll look picture perfect together in front of town hall. Don't forget to snap a pic to capture the moment!

The Rehearsal Dinner
Nothing says pure sophistication quite like a well-tailored black suit. What's particularly chic about this style is that the high-quality fabric moves along with you, so you can stay comfortable during all that mingling. Go completely classic in black and white, or give a subtle nod to your wedding colors with shoes in a fun and fashionable hue.

The Wedding Day
Put a new spin on wedding white. This flattering cut will stand the test of time, no matter how you choose to style it, although we're partial to a white button-down for a modern monochromatic look. Each pair of pants in the women's collection comes unhemmed so you can customize exactly where you want them to fall with a quick trip to the tailor. We're also loving the straight fit which elongates legs in the best possible way.

When in doubt, a classic tuxedo will never let you down—especially if your nuptials are on the formal side. A refined black tux is an instant classic, while the notch lapel adds contemporary flair. Bonus: You can also choose from short, regular, long and extra-long for the jacket to ensure a tailored fit.

The After-Party
For those who want to turn heads all night long, this bold green suit is the perfect surprise second look. Ditch the jacket in favor of the matching vest (its adjustable back strap means it won't interfere with your dance moves), and if you want to up the party vibe, go for a shirt with an unexpected pattern.

The Honeymoon
This suit's coastal vibe works most anywhere, plus the lightweight material will keep you cool in warmer climates. The stretchy fabric is ideal for travel, since you'll be on the go and won't have time for wrinkles. When it comes to accessories, we like it paired with shades of brown and, if you're feeling adventurous, a colorful tie.
