Buy what you need. If you want investment quality pieces, Ermenegildo Zegna, Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani or Brooks Brothers for a more conservative look. All offer suits that won’t disappoint. If budget is an issue, check the best designer suit store online.
A men’s designer suit is always appropriate, particularly for a more formal affair. “A navy blue suit, white shirt and tie make up the wedding uniform,” says Miguel Lopez, proprietor of the Castro menswear store, Sui Generis. Just remember that the fabric has to be appropriate to the season. Spring and summer require lighter fabrics, such as cotton and linen. Save the heavier wools and cashmeres for fall and winter weddings.
Consider the alternative. If a men’s designer suit is just not your style, luckily there is another acceptable wedding outfit. You will always look sharp in black dress pants or black khakis, a white button-down shirt, a sport coat and a tie, with black shoes, belt and socks. You can drop the coat for more casual weddings.
