 Finding the perfect tuxedo or suit is an important part of getting ready for any special occasion — whether it’s a wedding, prom, or formal event.

 

Whether you’re going for a classic tuxedo or a modern suit, our team is here to help you feel confident, comfortable and perfectly styled for your event.

 

At Camille’s of Wilmington, we proudly partner with Jim’s Formalwear, giving our clients access to a wide selection of tuxedo and suit styles, along with thousands of coordinating accessories to complete any look. From timeless black tie to modern, fashion-forward styles, we help you build a look that feels uniquely yours.

 

SHOP OUR TUXEDO & SUIT SELECTION

 


 

By Appointment Only

 

To ensure every client receives personalized attention and expert guidance, tuxedo and suit appointments are by appointment only.

 

Your 1-hour consultation appointment comes first. This is designed to give you dedicated time with a tuxedo consultant who will walk you through every step of the process.

 

During your visit, our tuxedo consultant will guide you through tuxedo and suit options through Jim’s Formalwear and help you begin building a cohesive look for your wedding, prom, or special event.

 

If you are shopping with a group, additional measurement appointments can be scheduled following your consultation. Individual measurement appointments are also available for those who simply need to be sized.

 

While appointments are strongly recommended, we may be able to accommodate walk-ins during a weekday.

 

BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT

 


 

Your Appointment Experience

 

During your 1-hour tuxedo consultation, your consultant will guide you through:

  • Exploring tuxedo and suit styles through Jim’s Formalwear

  • Coordinating looks for weddings, prom groups, or formal events

  • Reviewing colors, fits, fabrics, and accessory options

  • Taking professional measurements for the best possible fit

  • Explaining rental versus purchase options to help determine the best fit for your event and needs

  • Reviewing ordering timelines, group coordination, and important next steps throughout the process

 


 

What to Wear and Bring

 

To make the most of your appointment, we recommend bringing:

  • Color inspiration, swatches, or mood boards
  • Photos of tuxedo or suit styles you like
  • Shoes similar to what you plan to wear on your event day
  • Any details about your venue, season, or overall theme

 


 

Jim’s Formalwear

At Camille’s, we are proud to work with Jim’s Formalwear, a trusted leader in men’s formalwear offering over 40 tuxedo styles and suit options, along with thousands of coordinating accessories. This allows us to create fully customized looks for every formal occasion.

 

Our clients are able to mix and match pieces from the collection for a look that feels completely tailored to their vision. Your tuxedo consultant will guide you through timelines for your group or event, renting or purchasing guidelines, and silhouette options as you hand-select any combination of jacket, tie, vest, pants, shirt, and shoes to create your signature style.

 

Each piece selected is ordered to your measurements, which can be taken by one of our tuxedo consultants. For out of town customers measurements can be taken at another formalwear store and submitted to Camille’s over phone or email.

 


 

Suit & Tuxedos for Purchase

 

If you envision wearing your suit or tuxedo beyond your wedding, prom, or formal event — or prefer a more customized long-term fit — purchasing may be the right option for you.

 

Our curated collection of purchase-ready tuxedos and suits are made with high-quality fabrics that feel luxe and lightweight while maintaining a sharp, tailored look.

 

Purchasing allows you to receive your formalwear well in advance of your event date, giving you time for custom alterations with your preferred tailor or one of our recommended professionals. Common adjustments include slimming pant legs, refining jacket structure, and creating a more personalized fit.

 


 

Suit & Tuxedo Rentals

 

Renting is a popular option for many clients because it allows you to achieve a polished, elevated look for a single event without long-term commitment. It also provides access to a wide variety of formalwear styles that may be more fashion-forward or elevated than what you might typically purchase.

 

Our standard rental allows for a 5-day period from picking up to returning your suit. Rentals must be returned by the Tuesday following the Wedding.

 

Rental garments include standard in-house adjustments to pant hem and jacket sleeve length to ensure proper fit. Rental packages may include any combination of jacket, pants, shirt, vest, tie or bow tie.

 

Extended rental periods may be available upon request for an additional fee.

 


 

Measurements, Ordering, and Final Fittings

 

Once you’ve selected your tuxedo or suit, our team will take detailed measurements and guide you through the ordering process.

 

Because we work with Jim’s Formalwear, we are able to coordinate entire groups with ease — including remote sizing for out-of-town members.

 

We recommend beginning the process several months before your event to allow time for ordering and adjustments. Accessories such as ties, bow ties, vests, and shoes are finalized at this stage. When you receive your formalwear, you will need to try it on to ensure that everything fits. If replacements are necessary, new pieces can be ordered if time allows.

 

We require measurements at least a month prior to the date of your event to ensure availability and allow time for replacements.
