What to Know Before Buying a Wedding Suit

Your wedding day is one of the most important moments of your life — and your suit should reflect that. At Leven’s Clothing, we’ve been outfitting grooms and wedding parties for over a century. Here are our top tips every groom should know before buying a wedding suit.

1. Start Early

The biggest mistake we see? Waiting until the last minute. Start shopping 2–3 months before the wedding to allow time for fittings and alterations.

2. Match the Formality

Your suit should match the wedding’s tone:

• Black Tie: Go for a tuxedo with satin lapels.
• Formal: Navy or charcoal suit with a crisp shirt.
• Casual/Outdoor: Lighter colors like tan or gray, in breathable fabrics.

3. Coordinate with Your Partner

Your look should complement — not compete with — your bride’s or partner’s style. Bring photos of the dress and wedding colors so we can help coordinate.

4. Prioritize Fit

Even the best fabric won’t look good if the suit doesn’t fit. Common adjustments include sleeve length, jacket waist, and trouser hems. Our in-house tailors make sure you look your absolute best.

5. Don’t Forget Accessories

Your tie, pocket square, belt, and shoes complete the look. These small details often end up in close-up wedding photos, so choose carefully.

Final Word: Invest in Quality

A wedding suit isn’t just for one day — the right style can serve you for years to come. Think of it as an investment in your future wardrobe.
