The guide to buying a new suit

From carry-on suits to bespoke, this is a list of our favorite tailoring brands you can buy from right now.

It’s been a minute since I’ve properly worn a suit. I came up in the #Menswear era, a period we should have boxed up in a time capsule to study later on.

Double monks, floral pocket squares, tie clips, slim fits, and a revolution supported by bloggers with Dwyane Wade as the spokesperson. It was a special time.

Then the suit became obsolete for obvious reasons.

But while an uninformed contingent still beat their chests under the cry that the suit is done (typing from their phones in a pair of Travis Scotts they overpaid for on StockX), the reality is that it never went anywhere; it simply evolved.

Sure, we (the consumers) temporarily traded things for it. But in our disappointment, we returned to it.

Of course, there remains a time and place for some to wear traditional suiting in their day jobs, but for most, wearing a suit is still a rarity, which is completely fine.

People are still investing in suits. And with wedding season upon us, it’s important to show a range of options for you, whether you’re the one getting married, in the bridal party, or simply attending one.

Obviously, everyone’s budget range is different. So, with that, we’ve put together a suit guide in 3 categories, which you can find below.

The goal here is to present you with options from independent (mostly) brands we love.

We hope you find this useful, and let us know if you end up buying anything!
