A groom usually wears a tuxedo or a 3-piece suit, groomsmen match or coordinate with him, and guests wear a regular suit. Bohorad's wedding collection has 48 options from $130 to $500, including 8 black tuxedos and 3-piece suits in wool and stretch fabrics.
Tuxedo or 3-piece suit for the groom?
An evening black-tie wedding calls for a tuxedo with a satin or grosgrain lapel, black bow tie, plain white shirt and no belt; see all black tuxedos. A 3-piece suit adds a matching waistcoat, so the groom still looks finished after the jacket comes off. We carry 3-piece suits in solid black, green and blue wool, several with peak lapels, and in purple, brown and blue plaid.
How do I dress the groomsmen?
Pick one suit and have every groomsman order it in his own size, or keep the color the same and let the fit differ. Slim fit suits lean builds, and classic fit, with a fuller chest and straight leg, suits broader men. The herringbone stretch 3-piece suits in sage green, lavender purple and blue are slim fit with notch lapels.
Each man orders by chest and length: 40R is a 40-inch chest in Regular length for 5'8" to 6', Short is under 5'8", and Long is over 6'. Between two sizes, take the larger chest.
When should we order wedding suits?
