Question
Is it permissible for a groom getting married in Elul to shop for clothes during the Three Weeks and the Nine Days? The groom is Ashkenazi.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
Clothes that are not significant and do not require the blessing of "Shehecheyanu" may be purchased from the seventeenth of Tammuz until Rosh Chodesh Av.
There is no prohibition against buying significant clothes [that require the blessing of "Shehecheyanu"] with the intention of wearing them after the Ninth of Av.
During the Nine Days, it is forbidden to buy clothes, even if they are not significant and do not require the blessing of "Shehecheyanu".
