What to look for in a wedding suit
Before we jump into the good stuff, it’s important to take note of some things you should keep an eye out for when looking for a wedding suit. While the final ensemble will, of course, depend on what the wearer is on the market for, most bridal suits consist of a blazer, paired with pants, shorts or a skirt. They also come in an array of colors—from your standard white, to crème and other neutrals. And just because it’s a suit doesn’t automatically mean tailored fits. Wedding suits can be loose-fitting and flowy too.
