Tony Collins, the managing director of Formal Hire, a quality suit hire service in Swansea, tells us the latest trends for the groomsmen. “This year is all about postponed weddings taking place. While trends move a little each season, 2022 will be a mixed bag of many couples who chose their suits in 2019 but weren’t able to get married until now. “This season, greys and tails, without the traditional top hats, will be very popular. The days of heavy long tailcoats that weigh you down are gone, and tailored lightweight versions that are cut to impress rather than hide lumps and bumps are in style. “We are encouraging all our customers not to leave booking their outfits too late as availability will be limited the closer the wedding gets, especially as traditional retailers are struggling to replenish stocks due to supply chain issues from overseas. We have bookings as far ahead as 2025 along with postponements too. Grooms will need to be as organised as the brides in the next few seasons!” 01792 474 685 www.formal-hire.com enquiries@formal-hire.com THE GROOMSMEN Your groom-to-be will want to share his special day with those closest to him, so it’s important that they feel amazing too. 82
