Fielding & Nicholson share their top tips for finding a wedding suit

Trying to find an outfit for your wedding can be a stressful experience, so to help you find the perfect look, we spoke to Ian Fielding- Calcutt, the founder of Fielding & Nicholson, and asked for his dos and don'ts when it comes to men's tailoring. Opt for a lightweight linen or cotton suit in pastel colours like light blue, pale pink, or mint green. Pair it with a crisp white dress shirt and a colourful silk tie. Avoid dark, heavy fabrics and formal black suits and steer clear of heavy wool suits. Consider polished loafers, suede derbies, or a pair of smart leather brogues in light tan or brown shades. Remember, not wearing socks is a big faux pas for a formal wedding. Go for tonal socks and trousers that break on the shoe.

Pedal for mental health: The benefits of cycling during Mental Health Awareness Week

1 in 4 people in the UK experience mental health disorders every year. This reality highlights the pressing need for awareness, support, and empathy towards mental health problems and people who experience them. Mental Health Awareness Week is an annual event to raise awareness about mental health disorders, its causes, and effects. This year, Mental Health Awareness Week falls onto Monday 13th of May to Sunday 19th of May. The theme of this year's Mental Health Awareness Week is 'movement', in hope to encourage individuals to incorporate movement into their daily habits. The NHS recommends at least 2.5 hours of exercise a week. However, incorporating daily movement not only allows individuals to enjoy fresh air and outdoors time but also triggers the release of 'happy hormones', which positively impact people's mental well-being.
