Boys' Suits for Weddings, Holidays, and Every Special Occasion

Appaman makes slim-fit suits for boys in sizes 2T to 16, designed in New York and styled after men's tailoring. Our suits are made for weddings, ring bearers, bar mitzvahs, communions, graduations, holidays, and family photos, and many are machine washable for easy care after the big day.

Which Appaman suit is right for him?

• Mod Suit: Our classic slim-fit suit, in year-round colors like Navy Blue, Black, and Navy Glen Plaid 
• Stretchy Mod Suit: The same tailored look with added stretch for toddlers and active kids, in seasonal patterns like Navy Glen Plaid.
• Linen Mod Suit: A breathable linen blend for spring and summer events, like the Linen Light Grey Plaid Stretchy Mod Suit.
• Corduroy Mod Suit: A warm, textured option for fall and winter, like the Mocha Corduroy Mod Suit.

For black-tie and the most formal occasions, shop our boys' tuxedos and formal suits.

Complete suit sets or separates?

Boys' suit sets include a tailored jacket and matching pants, so there's no guesswork. For a full head-to-toe look, the Navy Blue Mod Suit Bundle pairs a navy suit with a white dress shirt and accessories. Suit sets are the easiest choice for ring bearers, weddings, and family photos.

Separates let you buy each piece individually, which is ideal when he needs a different size on top and bottom or you're building around pieces he already owns. Shop suit pants, dress shirts, and ties and bow ties.

What color suit should he wear?

Navy is the most versatile, working for weddings, holidays, religious services, and school events. Gray reads lighter and suits daytime and spring events. Black is best for evening weddings, black-tie events, bar mitzvahs, and winter formals, especially when the groomsmen are in black or tuxedos.

What should he wear in summer vs. winter?

For warm-weather weddings, graduations, and garden parties, choose a linen suit, which keeps him cool while still looking polished. For fall and winter events, choose a Mod Suit in a darker color, a corduroy suit, or a seasonal plaid. For holiday parties, browse our kids' holiday clothes.

• Summer wedding: Linen suit, white dress shirt, bow tie
• Garden party: Mod Suit, light blue dress shirt, belt
• Fall event: Corduroy or plaid suit, white dress shirt, tie
• Winter holiday: Dark Mod Suit, white shirt, bow tie

How do Appaman suits fit?

Appaman suits have a slim, European cut, and our Stretchy Mod Suits add stretch so he can sit through a ceremony and still make it to the dance floor. Choose a size by measuring his chest, waist, and height against our size chart rather than going by age alone. If he's between sizes, size up. 

Can he wear his suit again?

Yes. Pair the jacket with jeans for a smart-casual look, or wear the suit pants with a graphic tee or sweater. Many of our suits are machine washable, so his suit gets worn well beyond one event. For more ideas, shop our year-round core fine tailoring pieces.
