Picking out the perfect suit for a wedding can be a daunting task for any man. Add to that the sartorial stress of marrying a men’s fashion icon — nay, legend? — aka, your one and only Style Girlfriend? You better bring your A-game.
Luckily, Quinn, my now-husband, was up to the task. The man has more style in his pinky finger when he wakes up than I do when I’m decked out in full glam. The man loves clothes, and felt confident in his fashion sense long before we met.
So, when it came time for him to get outfitted for our September wedding, I knew I’d have input but that he’d be the one to make the final fashion call.
He wanted a suit — something stylish and well-constructed. Nothing too stuffy. An outfit that felt modern for a fall wedding, but that he could still look back in fifty years at without cringing at a long-forgotten trend.
“What about Todd Snyder?” I said. His eyes lit up.
We hit the suit shop in their Madison Square Park location and got fitted by the (amazing, wonderful) team there. He tried on every combination in the store.
Go for suiting separates with Gurkha trousers and a blazer? Maybe.
A tux? Great for a more formal occasion, but we were getting married outside, on the steps of a historic observatory in Wisconsin, followed by a cocktail hour filled with lawn games and cheese curds. Nope.
We looked through more shades of navy than I can knew existed, before realizing — oops, we waited too long to go custom. Thankfully, he found his perfect wedding suit for our special day in the Italian cashmere Sutton suit in navy.

Ta-da! So fresh, yet so timeless!
And because I had to flex at least a little bit, I texted Todd to get his take.
Here’s what the designer had to say about choosing the cashmere Sutton suit for a fall wedding:
“We’ve seen such a welcomed return to sophisticated tailoring and the cashmere Sutton Suit effortlessly embodies that spirit. It’s a relaxed, modern spin on a classic suit made from super soft, luxe Italian cashmere that looks as good as it feels. The overall effect is clean and refined but still easy-wearing — wear them together for the full look or break things up with more casual separates.”
The pants looked modern worn with a leather slipper (similar to this pair) he tried on at the fitting and immediately fell in love with. Not everyone can pull off a backless shoe with a boutonnière but I think he nailed it.
While TS has plenty of great shirts to choose from, we hit up Proper Cloth for a made to measure style.
