Groomsmen suits and group fittings in Sterling Heights

02

Groomsmen who live out of town

Send out-of-town groomsmen the measuring guide. They can take their measurements at home and send them in, or use the size guide to find a starting size. A stylist confirms the final fit when they arrive.

03

Keep the group matched

• Same suit colour and cloth for everyone.
• Same shirt colour and tie, or the same tie in one colour family.
• Same shoe colour. Black for a tuxedo or a black suit, brown or black for navy and grey.
• Let the groom stand apart with a different tie, a waistcoat or a different jacket.

For the groom

05

One look for different builds

Groomsmen come in every shape. The same suit in different sizes and lengths keeps the group matched while each man gets a jacket that fits. A stylist sizes each groomsman for his own shoulders, chest and height, then tailors the waist, sleeves and hems.

07

Agree who pays before the fitting

Settle early whether the couple or each groomsman pays for the outfit. Tell the stylist at booking. It keeps the group fitting about fit and style, not money.

08

Gifts for groomsmen

Ties, pocket squares and cufflinks make good groomsmen gifts because they are worn on the day. Pick them at the group fitting in our Sterling Heights store so they match the suits.

09

The day before the wedding

• Every groomsman tries on the full outfit, shoes included.
• Hang every suit on a shaped hanger, with the shirt and tie on the same hanger.
• Pack a lint roller, safety pins and a spare pair of black socks.
• Agree who brings the boutonnieres and pocket squares.

• Winter: charcoal, black or midnight navy.

13

The best man

The best man often matches the groomsmen with one small detail: a different pocket square or tie. He also carries the rings, so a jacket with a secure inside pocket matters.

14

Coordinating with the bridesmaids

Bring a swatch or a photo of the bridesmaids' dresses to the group fitting. Match one accent, the tie or the pocket square, to the dress colour. Keep the suits neutral so the photos stay balanced.

15

On the day: wearing it well

Button the jacket when standing for photos and unbutton it to sit. Keep phones and wallets out of the trouser pockets so the line stays clean. Leave the bottom jacket button open on every jacket in the group.

17

Mixing ages and styles in one wedding party

A wedding party often mixes a teenage brother, college friends and an uncle. One classic cut, a two-button single-breasted jacket with a notch lapel, flatters every age and build. Let each man choose the trouser fit he is comfortable in, flat-front or pleated, while the jacket, the colour and the tie stay the same. In photos the group still reads as one.

18

When a groomsman cannot make the fitting

Life gets in the way. Send him the measuring guide and ask for chest, waist, inseam, height and weight. A stylist at our Sterling Heights store picks his starting size and length and holds it for the group. When he arrives, the stylist checks the fit and pins any changes. Call or text (586) 983-9143 with his measurements.

Why a wedding party chooses one store

When every groomsman buys from the same rail, the colour, the cloth and the cut match exactly. Mixing stores almost always shows in photos: two navies that do not match, or lapels of different widths. A single group fitting at our store in Sterling Heights also means one stylist sees every man, checks the same points on each jacket, and keeps a record of each size for the collection visit. The groom only has to send one message with the date and the names.
