Finding the perfect feminine wedding suits when you’re a larger “masculine” guy can feel like such a hard task. Especially when you’re searching for a piece of clothing, which just doesn’t seem to exist. One of the bigger challenges is when you fall in love with a certain style, suit, or dress, but you cannot find the size for you. It’s so frustrating, but there are designers, stores, and alternatives out there that will provide you with your dream item.
So, let’s focus on the men who want a more feminine suit, but have the traditional “masculine” body, or plus-sized frame. Do not worry, there are plenty of solutions for you.

Where to find feminine suits for a masculine guy
Before we dive into some fabulous examples, we first need to check out all the options that you have. First, though, we have to give a little credit where credit is due! This post is inspired by a question we saw over on Reddit (see below).
There are really unique struggles that come with the menswear, especially when it comes to finding a suit that matches your style. First of all, get a specific style, color, or print in your mind when searching for your suit. This will make it all a lot easier. Typically, feminine suits are more fitted at the waist, a little more delicate, and can come with floral or pink prints. However, these aren’t exclusive ideas.
Below are some places that you can look at and some other general ideas on how to create a more feminine suit with what you have to work with.

Chubstr
Okay, so Chubstr doesn’t particularly specialize in feminine suits, or even plus-sized women’s suits. However, they do boast a large range of plus-sized suits that can give you a great “base” to work with. Then, you can take it to a tailor or other specialist to add some more feminine touches to it. They also have some great shirts that would go beautifully with other more feminine suits.
Asos
Yes, this mainstream brand has loads of funky patterns and cuts. There sizes vary and may not run high enough, but it’s definitely worth a look. They might even be more affordable, too.
Local tailors
A custom-made suit is always an option, too. After all, if you’re gonna splurge on a tailored suit, it might as well be for your wedding. You may even be able to pick the design, cut, and print. Of course, this option isn’t in everyone’s budget. Don’t worry, there are other options.
Accessories
Honestly, the men’s fashion department is really lacking. So, one way you can spruce up your suit is with the right accessories. For instance, a lovely tie, headpiece, or even a unique patterned shirt could totally lift the mood.
Kilts
While kilts aren’t necessarily “feminine,” they are an option if you want something a little different. Many plus-sized Scottish men rock kilts and look great while they do it. These are actually a favorite for many men, and it gives you a much larger window to get creative with prints and accessories.
However, remember, kilts are an important part of the Scottish tradition. Cultural appropriation for fashion purposes is never a good thing, so before you choose this option, take the time to learn about the meaning behind them.
Women’s plus-sized range
The women’s plus-size fashion market is worth billions right now. Men’s have unfortunately is lagging behind dramatically. So, why not try to find a suit which has your measurements, in the women’s line. It’s a possibility.
Also, with the help of a tailor, anything is possible, really.
Now, with some suggestions out the way, let’s take a look at some of the most stunning feminine suits for masculine guys that I’ve seen.

Women’s suits
We all know clothes don’t have a gender, anyway. If you fall in love with a women’s design, find it in plus-sized. A lot of women’s clothes run to larger sizes, even in mainstream shops.
Of course, you can also make adjustments afterwards. Jazzmyne looks stunning in this suit from Asos – and we can definitely imagine it at a wedding.
