Please help! Where is the best place to buy a boys suit for wedding for a 13yr old? Don’t think it will be worn more than once so dont want to spend too much and durability not a consideration. Also the wedding is in October and the child is growing like a weed but I feel that it might be harder to find wedding clothes then, what do you think?

Vinted ?

Brand new with tags.

Definitely vinted, loads of them on there, and you can sell it on when done!

Vinted

Vinted or Next Clearance

Definitely Vinted. I bought a suit on there for my ds’s prom for £15. It was immaculate. Shirt, tie and waist coat were included too from Next. I need to sell it on as my ds has outgrown it.

My ds had one from primark

Vinted, I bet loads have been bought for this sort of thing and never worn again.

Vinted, ebay, M&S or choices outlets, primark.

Does he need a whole suit?
Another option would be smart trousers or chinos and a jacket like this www.matalan.co.uk/p/childrens-clothing/boys-navy-suit-blazer-4-13yrs/17429075/

Just hire one? Thought that's what everyone did for weddings as kids grow out of them within weeks and then get chucked into landfill (or go on Vinted but you may be buying a suit that's already gone through a number of kids!)

Vinted etc are good but if you want to leave til nearer the time and need formal dobell online are good value if you want new. They do boys (limited styles) and small mens.

If you're not sure on size order it all from Next, clock the sizing, send it back then look on Vinted. Loads of stuff on there and you'll be confident you're ordering the right size
