Wedding season is just around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking about what you’ll be wearing for the big day. Whether you’re the groom, a groomsman, or just a sharply dressed guest, C.E. Roth has everything you need to look your absolute best. From sleek slim-fit suits to timeless tuxedos, we make sure you walk into the wedding feeling confident and camera-ready.
Not sure where to start? Here’s your guide to getting the perfect wedding day look without the stress.
Step 1: Book Your Fitting Early
Procrastination and weddings do not mix. Waiting too long to get fitted could leave you scrambling for last-minute alterations or, worse, stuck with a suit that doesn’t fit quite right. The golden rule? Book your fitting at least two months before the wedding.
At C.E. Roth, we make the fitting process simple. Our expert team will measure you for the perfect fit, help you pick out the right style, and make any necessary adjustments so you’re comfortable and polished on the big day.
Step 2: Find the Right Suit or Tuxedo
Not all weddings call for the same level of formality, so here’s a quick breakdown of what to wear based on the event:
- Black Tie Wedding? A classic tuxedo is your go-to. Timeless, elegant, and always appropriate for evening celebrations.
- Formal but Not Black Tie? A dark-colored slim-fit suit is the way to go. Think navy, charcoal, or classic black.
- Casual or Beach Wedding? Lighter fabrics like linen or a tailored, light-colored suit will keep you looking sharp without overheating.
If you’re the groom, consider how your outfit complements the wedding theme and your partner’s attire. A well-coordinated wedding party makes for stunning photos.
Step 3: Slim Fit vs. Classic Fit—Which One’s Right for You?
Not sure if you should go for a classic or slim fit suit? Here’s the difference:
- Slim Fit: Modern, tailored, and streamlined. If you want a sharp, stylish look that feels contemporary, this is the way to go.
- Classic Fit: A bit more room to move, but still well-structured. Ideal for those who prefer a timeless look with extra comfort.
At C.E. Roth, we carry both styles so you can find the perfect match for your build and personal taste.
Step 4: Don’t Forget the Accessories
The right accessories take your wedding look from “good” to “flawless.” Here’s what to consider:
- Bow Tie vs. Tie – A bow tie is a must for tuxedos, while slim ties pair beautifully with modern suits.
- Pocket Squares – A pop of color or a subtle pattern can add personality to your look.
- Cufflinks & Tie Bars – These little details make a big difference in pulling everything together.
- Shoes & Socks – Stick with polished dress shoes, and don’t underestimate a fun sock choice if the dress code allows for a bit of flair.
Step 5: Rent or Buy?
If you’re only wearing the suit or tux once, renting is a great option—especially if you want to save money while still wearing a high-end designer brand. On the other hand, if you attend multiple formal events a year, investing in a tailored suit or tuxedo might be the smarter long-term choice.
At C.E. Roth, we offer both rental and purchase options so you can decide what works best for you.
