Suit questions!

Jennifer, on December 30, 2019 at 3:58 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 3

Hi! So I've been pretty on top of all this planning stuff. But the suits baffle me haha. Fiance basically HAS to buy his suit. He's 6'6" but lean, so any suit is too baggy right off the rack. (He's so hard to buy clothes for since everything that's made for a tall guy, is also made a little large. All his dress shirts are either too short in length and fit well, or are baggy with normal sleeve length. Anyway lol...) Since it's our wedding I'd like him to have a great fitting suit. But I think the guys all want to rent. So these may be simple or dumb questions but here goes...

Will we be able to rent and buy from the same place and have them match? I figure places like Men's Warehouse could. But what if he wants to buy from Macy's, how can we find something to match for the groomsman?

Is it ok if the suits aren't the same? He wants a charcoal or dark grey, but does it matter if he buys a Calvin Klein and the boys rent from Men's Warehouse? Will the colors match?

Thanks in advance!

    You could absolutely buy/rent the exact same suit from the same place. Men's Wearhouse and TheBlackTux.com both have these options! That being said, it's also completely okay for the suits not to match. My FH will be in a light grey suit and his groomsmen will be in navy.

    If your FH wants to match his groomsmen, Men's Wearhouse does carry Calvin Klein suits so you could always check and see if they carry the same style before your FH buys his suit from Macy's Smiley smile

    They don't need to be the same. My fiance purchased his suit (navy) from Armani and does not expect anyone else will want to splurge like that. Instead, we brought his purchased suit to a larger retailer who works with bridal parties and matched it to a color they carry. The guys can then either rent or buy it. The color isnt an exact match to the groom but that's OK!

    Also, if he wants them to match he can buy his suit and then take it to a place like men’s warehouse and see what that have for options that are similar. May not be exact but will look uniform. That probably what FH will end up doing, the guys will be in navy and he has a very nice suit (navy) he had to purchase as a groomsman for his friends wedding in 2017and a few of his groomsman have the same suit, so if they use those one they are going to have them match it as close as possible and then the remaining guys will rent !
