Ariana Grande, Blake Lively and Nicole Kidman have all rocked this trend on the runway; Ayo Edebiri and Chappell Roan turn to it often. No, it isn't statement jewelry or colorful gowns. It's menswear and suiting—and it's making its way into the world of wedding guest attire, too. Wedding suits for women are hot for 2025, but where can you find them? And how do you guarantee a great fit? These questions aren't as easily answered as they are when you're shopping online for a dress.

That's where we come in. Culling from professional recommendations, hefty research and our fair share of personal experience, The Knot honed in on 16 retailers we love for women's wedding suits. Some of the spots exclusively hawk suiting—and will work with clients to tailor and customize the perfect ensemble—while others are diamonds in the rough, meaning suits aren't necessarily their bread and butter, but they're worth checking out on the off chance they have exactly what you're looking for.

If none of the current wedding guest dress trends are speaking to you, consider wearing a women's suit to your next event. Suiting has so many bonuses as a wedding guest look: Pants are comfortable and allow you to break it down on the dancefloor and the overall look is an empowering one. (Trust us, you'll feel it.) Keep reading to find a style that suits you perfectly—pun intended.

16 Best Places to Buy Women's Suits

How to Choose Wedding Suits for Women

The first thing to note is that there is a pretty distinct difference between a suit you wear to the office and a wedding suit for women (hint: wedding suits are a whole lot more fun—think color, cutouts and fashion-forward details), as well as differences between cocktail attire and black-tie-ready suiting. But no matter your suiting style, weddings are where you can punch up the look with fun and feminine accessories. Go shirtless under a buttoned blazer and add an eye-catching necklace (or a whole stack of them); pair a cropped tuxedo pant with a bold shoe; or mix and match pieces you might not otherwise pair together. Here are a few considerations to get you started.

Decide if You Want Color: Black-tie weddings typically call for black tuxedos (SuitShop makes a great one for women). But for cocktail, semi-formal and formal attire affairs, there's an opportunity to get creative with bold color. Many of the suiting brands we showcase below offer options—both tailored and oversized—in hues like red, orange, cobalt, yellow and more.
Classic or Creative: Straightforward suiting brands will offer the classics; they'll specialize in impeccable fit and guarantee a piece (or group of pieces) you can wear for a lifetime. For a more creative suiting moment, look to labels that happen to offer suits among a wide range of other fashion categories, like Nadine Merabi's pearl-adorned suits or REISS's cutout options.
Consider Formality: No matter what type of attire you're looking for, the first step is always to check the wedding dress code (it should be listed on the invitation or outlined on the wedding website) and get familiar with what that means. Black-tie? Opt for a tailored tux with satin lapels. Semi-formal and formal? Wear a suit in a bold color. Cocktail? Get creative with embellishment and unique elements. Remember, too, about the level of modesty. While a blazer with no shirt can be a super chic look, make sure your look remains appropriate for the occasion.
Have It Tailored: Especially if you're going the classic route, a good suit or tuxedo is all about tailoring. If you are having one custom-made (from retailers like Watson Ellis or Frey, for example), tailoring will likely be part of the process—but if you're buying a ready-to-wear option, remember that suit alterations will make your look appear infinitely more polished.
Don't Forget About Accessories: Often, what takes a suit from the workplace to wedding attire is how it's styled. In place of a shirt under the jacket, wear a bold necklace. Pair cropped tailored suit pants with a stellar shoe. Throw on a pair of chandelier earrings. Not only will these additions set the suit apart, they'll dress up the look to your chosen level of formality.

16 Best Places to Buy Women's Suits

A quick search for the best places to buy a women's suit will turn up hundreds, if not thousands, of options, but fear not: We've sifted through them for you. Here are 16 labels (some known exclusively for suiting; others more versatile) that offer strong and stylish wedding-ready looks. (Psst, while you're browsing, you certainly might find looks for the office and other suit-worthy occasions, but we particularly love these shops for wedding-day wear.)

1. Indochino

Indochino has long been a go-to for men's wedding suits and tuxedos, both custom and off-the-rack; now, the label has expanded to include wedding and wedding party suits for women, and they do it right. This is where brides and guests looking for the best place for women's suits can truly get picky, sorting and selecting by pattern, color, fabric weight and composition and more; then have a suit custom-made to their specific measurements (orders include a free measurement appointment). We especially love the bright options for a luxe wedding look (check out this yellow linen suit) and the women's tuxedos for a black-tie affair. The brand even has a ringing endorsement from David's Bridal, which partners with Indochino for bridal pantsuits and more.

Best for: Bride or Wedding Guest (Semi-Formal, Formal, Black-Tie)
How to shop: Online or in-person
Price range: $629–$899

2. Nordstrom

A does-it-all department store is always a safe bet for suiting, and Nordstrom is our top pick (a peek into the women's "suits and separates" tab culls nearly 2,000 results!). Search by label to narrow down your choices: Tahari is great for bold color and affordable pricing; Tom Ford and Alexander McQueen are fashion-forward picks for bigger budgets. Psst, with so many departments to shop, Nordstrom is a great size-inclusive retailer, too.

3. SuitShop

After starting SuitShop in 2016 as a menswear shop, the female founders transitioned their company to include wedding party suits for women and nonbinary suiting in 2019. Their offerings are size-inclusive, gender-inclusive, affordable and oh-so-stylish. For weddings, we especially love the label's tuxedos for women, including a chic single-button style with satin lapels in black, white or navy. And—bonus—they make the process easy: Clients can book virtual appointments, order fabric swatches and try the suit free for seven days before committing to forever.

For the latter, dress it up with bold jewelry, statement heels and a chic bag. Other pieces, like skorts in buttery yellow, houndstooth vests, oversized blazers and more, allow shoppers to curate their own suiting-inspired styles.

Take classic suiting and give it an ultra-stylish twist, and you have REISS, a brand known for elevated women's suiting pieces that run the gamut from perfectly tailored trousers to a cutout rope-detail blazer (which we love for a beach wedding!). A range of creamy ivory pieces make the perfect women's wedding suits for brides—whether at the welcome party, rehearsal dinner, or the ceremony itself—and bolder colors like orange, pink and blue make for great women's suits to wear to a wedding as a guest.

6. Nadine Merabi

Nadine Merabi white women's wedding suit

The British designer has only released bridal collections since 2021, but she's quickly become the go-to for stylish bridal suiting. Her deep V blazers are perfectly punched up with detail—think: oversized pearl embellishments down the shoulder or an all-lace suit with see-through sleeves. It goes beyond the wedding day, too. Merabi's bridal range also includes chic strapless jumpsuits and cocktail-length dresses ideal for showers and rehearsal dinners, and a bridal resort range has fresh looks for the honeymoon.

For a looser take on the definition of suiting, check out this brand, whose suiting-inspired pieces (like this asymmetric linen vest and pants combo) are chic and on-trend. (There's no official suiting category here, but search under "matching sets" for creative takes). Most of the styles give off summery vibes, perfect for casual or destination weddings.

If you're looking for a suit with personality, this online mega-retailer is a must-see. Its ladies' suits for weddings options run the gamut from classic to cool, colorful and springy to bold and moody. There are cutouts, crop tops and patterns galore. A few faves? The ASOS Curve sweetheart tailored blazer with a bow detail; a linen blazer in citrus orange for summer soirees; and a velvet suit for fancier affairs. Pro tip: When retailers offer such an extensive range, you never know what you're going to get in terms of quality and fit. That said, the ordering process is quick and the return policy is generous, so order and try on to find the perfect fit.

9. Frey

Its off-the-rack options are stellar, but this Hong Kong-based company's bread and butter is personalization—and it's done completely digitally. In collaboration with an app called Taillie, Frey helps customers take their own measurements to ensure the perfect fit for personalized create-your-own suiting. Bonus points: The brand is committed to sustainability, utilizing natural materials and repurposed or deadstock fabrics, and packaging its products in eco-friendly ways.

How to shop: Online
Price range: $158–$509
Size range: EU 32–46 (US 2–16) or custom

10. Zara

You can still shop piecemeal (pairing your own blazer and pants, for example; Zara's blazer selection is *chef's kiss*), but the rise in trendy coordinating sets has opened up a whole new suiting category for this fashion retailer. Looks we love include an apple-green suit, a belted linen suit for the bride and a double-breasted blazer in powder pink.

11. Eloquii

Eloquii's workwear category is so much more than office attire. The fashion label is the best place to buy a women's suit for plus-size (it caters specifically to sizes 14–28), with chic styles featuring bold colors (think: a vibrant pink suit and a sequin tweed set), fun fabrics like linen blends for summer weddings; and unique details like a tie-waist blazer. The brand also has its own bridal range and offers a few fun pantsuit and jumpsuit options for the bride.

12. Theory

Among the best places to buy a suit for women, Theory will always hold strong. The label is a standout for office suiting, but when it comes to women's wedding guest suits, there is definitely a creative side to the brand. Everything is tailored to a T: Start in their pant shop to find your favorite fit—a pleated pull-on, high-waisted straight leg, relaxed fit, the list goes on—and then find a coordinating blazer, available in countless colorways and fabrics from linen to leather. With lots of options in ivory and white, the label is great for brides and a great place to shop for dressy pantsuits for wedding guests.

Best for: Bride or Wedding Guest (Causal, Cocktail, Semi-Formal, Formal)
How to shop: Online or in-person (the label has stand-alone stores and outlets and is carried in department stores and on retail sites like Revolve)
Price range: $158–$525
Size range: 00–18

Shop Theory

13. Watson Ellis

To get a suit from Watson Ellis, you need to either be in New York City or visit, so we admit the practicality is limited. But we'd be remiss not to include the bespoke brand: It's a for-women-by-women powerhouse that can create any type of suit you might dream up (the brand also excels at nonbinary suiting). Every piece is made entirely by hand with ultra-premium fabrics, so you know you're getting a suit that will last a lifetime.

How to shop: In-person; book an appointment in New York
Price range: $750–$4,038

14. Good American

Maybe the biggest surprise on our list of where to buy women's suits is Khloe Kardashian's Good American label, which began as a denim brand but has become a hit in a variety of fashion categories. We love that the label is all about celebrating and accentuating curves. There is a lot of black and tan in the brand's cheekily named "bosswear" category (wedding guests can punch up the classic hues with bold shoes and accessories), but our top pick for a female suit for a wedding guest is the sculpted blazer in vibrant ballerina pink. Psst, Good American also makes the stellar oversized blazers for throwing over a dress if you decide against the full suit look.

Best for: Wedding Guests (Casual, Cocktail, Semi-Formal)
How to shop: Online or in-person
Price range: $89–$225
Size range: XS–5XL

15. Argent

With the motto "attitude, meet ambition," Argent seeks to redefine office attire for women, and it's quickly become one of the top women's suit brands for that reason. But with its diverse range and variety, Argent's offerings go well beyond the boardroom. We especially love the label for color (its wide-leg wool trousers, for example, are available in a dozen hues, from classic black to kelly green to seafoam blue). From tailored to chicly slouchy, there's something for every wedding suiting style.

Best for: Bride or Wedding Guests (Casual, Semi-Formal, Formal)
How to shop: Online or in-person
Price range: $195–$695
Size range: 0–14

16. Banana Republic

Classic suiting pieces—Italian wool pants, slim-cut blazers and chic blouses—can be mixed and matched easily from within the Banana Republic inventory for a look that could be office-worthy if worn together but showcases true style when mixed. (Opt for cohesive bridesmaid pantsuits or a more one-off look if you're a guest.) The combination results in unique women's suits for wedding guests; to make the menswear-inspired look even more wedding-ready, mix in more unique pieces, like the label's split hem Ponte pants or a something-blue linen vest.

Best for: Bride, Wedding Party or Guests (Casual, Semi-Formal, Formal)
How to shop: Online or in-person
Price range: $90–$250
Size range: 00–20, tall, regular and petite
