The choice between a 2-piece suit and a 3-piece suit is often one of the dilemmas men face when deciding to invest in their wedding wardrobe. Indeed, each option has its advantages and disadvantages depending on the occasion, personal taste and desired style. This RIVES article will help you make the right choice by comparing the two types of wedding suits.
THE 2-PIECE SUIT: SIMPLICITY AND VERSATILITY
Comprising a matching jacket and Trousers, the 2-piece suit is the classic choice for most men. This type of suit is available in a wide variety of cuts, materials and colors at RIVES, making it easy to coordinate with different accessories and shoes. The main advantage of the 2-piece suit is its versatility. It can be worn for both business events and more casual ceremonies.
For work: We recommend a 2-piece suit in black, Grey or Navy blue for a professional setting, with a white shirt and sober tie.
For a wedding: choose the color that suits you best from Navy blue, green and Grey to combine freshness, versatility, modernity and elegance.
For an evening out: the choice of colors and patterns is freer, and you can opt for a slightly more whimsical ensemble, as with the blue Grey suit, or even choose to wear the jacket without a tie.

WHY CHOOSE A 2-PIECE SUIT?
Choosing a 2-piece suit is above all choosing simplicity and affordability. Indeed, this type of suit is less expensive than a 3-piece suit for those on a tighter budget. Its minimalist styling also means that even men who are less accustomed to wearing suits can avoid any lapses in taste.
THE 3-PIECE SUIT: ELEGANCE AND REFINEMENT FOR YOUR WEDDING
With the addition of a Waistcoat to match the jacket and Trousers, the 3-piece suit adds an extra touch of sophistication and class to your Outfit.
Often considered a traditional choice, it is nevertheless enjoying a certain revival, thanks in particular to designers like RIVES who are injecting it with a dose of modernity and originality. The 3-piece suit is particularly well suited to formal events such as weddings or gala evenings. The Waistcoat not only enhances the visual harmony of the ensemble, but also offers a practical advantage: it holds the shirt in place and conceals unsightly creases when you remove the jacket.
HOW TO WEAR A 3-PIECE SUIT?
Wearing a 3-piece suit requires a few precautions to avoid faux pas. Here are a few tips to help you master this art:
- Color harmony: Make sure you choose a Waistcoat whose color and pattern match those of your jacket and Trousers. A Waistcoat in a different color may be bold, but it also runs the risk of unbalancing the ensemble.
- Tailored fit: Waistcoats should be close enough to the body to avoid unsightly creases, but not too tight to restrict movement. That’s why we offer tailor-made assistance to make sure your suit fits perfectly.
WHAT COLOR 3-PIECE SUIT SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR MY WEDDING?
