Say Yes to the Suit

When it comes to wedding attire, much more planning — not to mention budget — typically goes into the bride's gown than the groom's garb. But that doesn't mean the husband-to-be doesn't want to look his best on his wedding day. Same goes for his best men, the father of the bride, and so on. If you're looking for wedding day attire without spending a fortune (matrimonial suit and tuxedo prices can often exceed $2,000), here are some retailers that offer style and quality without an exorbitant price tag.


Prices and availability are subject to change.

There are a couple of things we like about this Santa Monica, California-based company. For starters, it offers tuxedos as well as suits for purchase or rent. On top of that, you can shop its collection via separates or "complete outfits" searchable via "vibe," "color," and more. Shoppers can also filter by event date availability, individual or group, and pieces that are available for home try-on.


This classic black tux is made from superfine Italian merino wool with silk satin peak lapels. It features a one-button closure and side vents and is guaranteed to make just about any groom look his best on the big day.

Not only is this chic creamy light brown cotton suit perfect for a beach or lower-key destination wedding, but it can be dressed up or down and therefore can continue to be a part of your wardrobe long after the nuptials have ended.

If you hadn't thought about checking out this once mega-popular mall retailer for men's wedding attire, think again. Express has a range of options, including full suits, lots of separates to mix and match, tuxedos, and suiting accessories.


Just like the bride who wears a blinged-out pair of converse under her wedding gown, grooms (and their groomsmen) want to be comfortable on the big day — which is why we love the idea of drawstring suit pants that this ensemble brings to the table.

Of course this massive online retailer has tuxedo and wedding suit styles available, and at different price points. There's a lot to sort through here, but if you know what you're looking for, you can find some stylish and well-rated wedding attire with a diligent use of filters. Or maybe just start with the site's tuxedo bestsellers and go from there.


This natty-looking suit gets more than four stars from over 1,000 buyers, and lots of reviewers were pleased enough with their purchase to post pictures (and we have to admit, many of them look chic and handsome in this vest, jacket, and pants combo). Made of a cotton blend with an adjustable waistband, the suit comes in blue and black options.

For something truly unique, never overlook Etsy for apparel of any kind, and that includes wedding attire. There's not as many tuxedos and wedding suits on the site as, say, wedding dresses, but there's a pretty decent assortment, with much of reasonably priced.


We love that men are not as intimidated by sporting a pop of color as they used to be, and we really love the statement that this pink pants, jacket, and vest combo makes. The shop, DesignVillaArt, gets lots of five-star reviews, and it sells the same suit in other colors plus plenty of other wedding-appropriate styles.
