SUITED AND BOOTED Grooms and groomsmen, and the fathers of the newlyweds too, are certainly taking more pride in their wedding appearance and enjoying the shopping just as much as the leading ladies. Men’s fashion has come a long way in the last decade, as has the more accepting protocols of wedding traditions. Some of our favourite grooms’ looks here at Your Herts and Beds Wedding, are those gents rocking their long beards and tattoos, in a pink waistcoat with patterned shirt – it’s totally unique and individual. If you want to keep it classic with a three-piece tail suit and top hat, then that’s your prerogative, but if you loved the model on the latest GQ Magazine, or Daniel Craig’s look at the latest James Bond premier – Daniel brought velvet back! Grooms and their support act can put their best foot forward in these trending styles. If you’ve never had a professional fitted suit, your wedding day is the occasion to have a bespoke tailored look. The perfect fit is essential for comfort, the wedding photos, and you can have little personalised elements added such as your initials and wedding date stitched in to the lining. Catwalk looks: yes, few people look like a Gucci model, but if you like the patterned shirt from the SS22 collection then encompass this into the look – you need to feel like you! Earth tones that are key for bridesmaids and venue styling will also be a trend for the men on the day too. Think sand tones, beige and browns. For something a little fresher like a green palette. Grooms who still adore the traditional tuxedo can go for it, but think about variations maybe velvet (aka Bond-style) or a bright colour, or patterned effect. Make your personality stand out with your accessory choices – here’s where you can really get creative; a dashing waistcoat, funky watch, or artsy pocket square and braces. TOP TIPS: ♥ In the case of a large and luxurious wedding, it is better to opt for a tuxedo or tailcoat. ♥ A rustic wedding style allows one to put on a country-style outfit – a vest, no tie, moccasins, straw hats, etc. ♥ Whichever style, the groom’s suit is simply obliged to fit perfectly on the figure. If it’s made to order, a good tailor will take care of it anyway. If it is bought in a store, it’s worth contacting a workshop and adjusting it if there are any shortcomings. ♥ For slender figures of short and medium height, fitted jackets with narrowed trousers can be a good option, and for denser and taller men, a straight cut is suitable. ♥ In the summer, opt for a light colour and fabric such as silk, satin, cotton, and linen. For winter thing wool, corduroy, velvet or corduroy in dark shades look great! ♥ Whatever the groomsmen outfit may be, it must be in harmony with the bride’s/groom’s look. ♥ Classic Oxford or Derby shoes are a go-to choice for footwear – make sure they are comfortable! ♥ Take your pick of accessories: tie and tie clip, bow tie, scarf, pocket square, cufflinks, ring, bracelet, watch, necklace, pocket watch, hanky, belt and buttonhole. ♥ Having a bestwoman? All the above trends and tips apply to their attire too. Work with them to see what they want to wear, and choose it together – perhaps keep a cohesive feature like the colour! https://favourbrook.com 80
