Online suit hire can be convenient, particularly if everyone is comfortable taking their own measurements and already knows exactly what style they want.

However, for a wedding there are major advantages to visiting a specialist in person. You can try different colours against your complexion, compare fits, see different waistcoats, get professionally measured, bring members of the wedding party, compare accessories and receive advice about your venue and wedding style.

Use online galleries for inspiration, but don’t make your final decision until you’ve seen the suit on your own body.
