Short answer
Groom suits vary widely in price depending on whether you hire or buy, and on the fabric and fit. There is no standard amount, so set a budget that suits your finances.
The cost of a groom's suit depends on many factors, so there is no single typical price. Hiring is often the more affordable route and works well if you only need the outfit once. Buying a suit can be a better long-term choice, since you will have it for future events. Off-the-rack suits from high street stores are usually the cheapest option, while designer labels and bespoke tailoring cost much more. Fabric quality, brand and where you shop all affect the final price. You should also budget for alterations, as a good fit often requires adjustments. Accessories such as shirts, ties, pocket squares and shoes add to the total too. Don't forget cleaning or hire return fees if you go that route. If you are on a tight budget, consider hiring a mid-range suit and spending on the fit instead of the label. The most sensible approach is to decide your total limit first, then look within it. A well-fitting suit in a simple fabric will always look better than an expensive one that does not fit.
