SuitShop

SuitShop is a suit and tuxedo brand with a showroom in Chicago's Gold Coast, on East Cedar Street. It sells suits, tuxedos and separates for every gender, and it is set up for couples dressing themselves and a whole wedding party in matching or coordinating looks.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

The range is not split by gender in the usual way. Women's suits and tuxedos sit beside men's styles and unisex jackets, so two partners can wear the same cut, the same color or deliberately different looks. Engaged couples can book a dedicated consultation together, which makes it easy to plan both outfits side by side.

What they offer

• Suits, tuxedos, blazers and dress pants, including women's and unisex styles
• Kids' suits for younger members of the wedding party
• Shirts, vests, ties, bow ties, cummerbunds, belts, suspenders and shoes
• Cufflinks, pocket squares and socks to finish the look
• A group program for wedding parties, with coordination and order reminders

How they work

You book a showroom appointment online and choose the type of visit. An engaged couple consultation works best five to six months before the wedding. Individual and group fittings work best between three months and six weeks before. Stylists help with fit and sizing, and the group program keeps track of everyone's orders so nobody is left behind. Orders can also be placed online, which helps when your wedding party lives in different cities.

Where they cover

The showroom is in the Gold Coast, a short walk from the Clark/Division Red Line station, with paid parking nearby and an accessible entrance. Online ordering means guests outside Chicago can be dressed to match.
