OWN A SUIT FOR

to waste their time. Select a style and then pass the information on to your wedding party. Or make the selection and plan a group trip to the store for the actual fittings.

✱ Don’t wait until the last minute. Select your suit style four to six months in advance, or close to the same season as your wedding. This doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily be fitted then, but you’ll at least know what you’re getting, and the store will have everything available on your wedding date.

✱ Before your fitting, try to look wedding-day ready. Style your hair the way you will on the big day and don’t forget to shave. This way, you get the full effect and it’s easier to make a decision.

✱ If you’re planning on using your own accessories – your grandfather’s cufflinks, a pair of skater shoes, your dad’s bowtie – bring them with you to be sure they will suit your suit.

✱ Wear proper socks! If you’re renting shoes, bring dress socks and leave the bulky sports socks at home. Lots of grooms opt for novelty socks, so if you have those handy, bring them, too.

✱ Trust the experts. They are there to help you look your best on your wedding day!
