The Groom's Room

Can I Try Different Suits Before I Decide?

Absolutely — and we’d encourage it.

A groom may arrive convinced he wants navy because it’s what he normally wears. Then he tries a green suit. Or a tuxedo. Or something completely unexpected. Suddenly the whole direction changes.

Trying different styles is one of the most important advantages of visiting a physical menswear specialist. Colour and fabric types can look completely different on the hanger compared with how it appears against your skin tone and alongside your wedding accessories.

Quick Verdict
Don’t hire a wedding suit purely because you liked it online. Try several styles and colours before making your final decision.

What Happens at My First Wedding Suit Hire Appointment?

Your appointment will usually begin with a discussion about your wedding, including the date, venue, colours and the overall look you’re hoping to achieve. You’ll then be shown suitable options, try on different jackets and trousers, and discuss shirts, waistcoats, ties and accessories. Measurements can then be taken once you’ve decided on the direction you want to go.

Do I Need to Bring Anything to My Wedding Suit Appointment?

You don’t normally need to bring anything special. If you already have ideas for your colour scheme, bridesmaids’ dresses or wedding theme, photos can be useful. Wearing or bringing a similar style of shoe to what you intend to wear on the day can also help when assessing trouser length and overall fit.
