Shopping for a girl for First Communion is easy - she wears a white Communion dress and veil.  The variations on this theme are certainly endless, but that part is for sure.

But it’s not like that for boys making their First Communion.  Color comes into the picture.

First - be sure to ask your director what they request.  They may have certain criteria, yet again, they may not. 

Then  check to see what is common in your area.

Now we’ll cover the options:

• A classic tailored suit.  We see the most in navy or black, but medium to dark grey is certainly used as well.  Brown is now available, too.  This is worn with a white dress shirt and long, conservative tie.  The tie may be plain colored or with a moderate pattern and can match or be contrasting.  Dark dress shoes are worn.
• A white suit.  This is not as common today as it once was, but it is still the suit of choice in many locations - especially in warm climates and along the coast.  The white suit is worn with a white dress shirt and long white (plain) tie.  Shoes are likely to be white as well.
• A white tuxedo.  This is far less common today.  However, tuxedos are available in dinner jacket rather than tail styles, which would be preferred if a tuxedo is chosen.
• Dark blazer and pants.  This is becoming more and more popular these days.  A dark blazer - usually navy - is worn with dress pants.  The pants can be tan, grey or white.  This is worn with a white dress shirt and long tie that is usually a contrasting color such as red or yellow; it can be plain or with a small pattern.  Dark dress shoes are worn with this.
