As a new rider, I would say but something you're very confortable in. You don't want to be disturbed by clothing that might hinder your control of the motorcycle.
Quality textiles might be a good option since they forgive a little more if they don't fix exactly.
Leather is better for the reason above, but since the are stiffer, they have to fit very well. Lets say, if the sleeves of the jacket are too long it might interfere with your gloves ad then it might be more difficult to control the bike. Same thing might be said about pants length.
Other thing I find important. Your tolerance to the temperature. I have a somewhat low tolerance to hot and humid weather. I try to wear my leather suit as often as I can, but when it gets too hot for me outside, I switch to my textiles. I realized that when I get too hot in my leather suit, I tend to be more impatient, less confortable, that lead to poor decision making which can be more dangerous than wearing my textiles.
Hope it helps...
