The Right Fit

Real groom-to-be Curtis Flanagan needs a suit for his summer nuptials. We gave him three—then asked the ladies in his life for their honest opinions.


Look 1:
H&M linen-cotton blazer, $69.95, and shorts, $34.95; Canali woven-cotton shirt, $295; and Bottega Veneta calf-suede shoes, $750.


The Fiancée:
“This looks cute, and I like that it’s not too traditional. I want something casual and fun, but Curtis might think the shorts are too weird for a wedding.”

The Mother of the Groom:
“Whoa! This shocked me. It looks like attire for a fancy picnic. But I like the colors with his red hair and fair skin. And it shows off his nice legs.”

The Mother of the Bride:
“This is a bad idea for a wedding. It’s too casual, like he’s going on vacation. It reminds me of a safari hunter in South Africa.”
