Suited and booted

Manufactured in Scotland, tweed is one material that has made quite the impression in the fashion industry and now tweed suits have become a desirable bit of kit for the on-trend groom.

Normally associate with country clothing, tweed has for decades been popular with those who enjoy participating in outdoor activities such as shooting and hunting.

Now, with a greater demand for both comfort and luxury at weddings, tweed fits the bill perfectly for those who are after a sophisticated and stylish appearance. This relatively dense and durable material offers great versatility – if you’ve ever owned a tweed cap or country jacket – you’ll be fully aware of how warm and cosy a tweed suit is.

Contemporary tweed is available in a variety quite dashing colours and patterns. You’re not going to struggle finding a tweed suit that won’t look picture-perfect.

Waistcoats

A garment which never fails to disappoint for both elegance and practicality, if you decide to go with a waistcoat on your wedding day you’ll sure to be looking sharp.

While it may not be the most essential item to some, it will deliver that finishing touch to whatever kind of smart clothing that it ends up accompanying.

Not only do they look good, but there are numerous advantages that comes with them. When fitted properly they can complement all manner of shapes and sizes, as they help to hold the stomach in which results in the wearer looking slimmer.

Another is that if you’re too hot and need to remove your suit jacket, you need not worry as you will still have a professional and smart look underneath.

With waistcoats being worn as early as 1666 and being as traditional as they are, they have never been one for going out of fashion and continue to rise in popularity.

Morning suits

Arguably, still the most classic form of apparel for a groom is the one and only morning suit.

Traditionally, it’s a suit that isn’t worn in the evening after 6pm, and normally consists of a black or grey tailcoat accompanied with striped or matching plain grey trousers and a waistcoat, with the option of whether you want to accessorise that bit more by adding a pair of lightweight grey gloves.

The general gist behind nailing this classic look is to make sure that the coat you wear makes an S shape, and that the trousers sit high. Apart from that you’ll have no trouble with looking at your very best when wearing a morning suit.

Neckties

When it comes down to making that hugely anticipated but exciting commitment of finally saying “I do” and agreeing to marry the love of your life, it’s vitally important that you look good while doing it.

It’s a simple move adding a carefully selected necktie to your outfit, but it’s certainly an affective one.

Sure, it might not be the end of the world if you decide not to wear one, but it’s an incredibly noticeable missing feature because of the proximity of it to your face.

They aren’t just for decorative purposes either, as neckties are known for symbolising nobility, honour and organisation, not a bad few things to portray on your wedding day. So, if you’re going for a classic but charming look, an appropriate colour necktie will go a long way in achieving this.

Tuxedos

Thinking about a tuxedo, what normally springs to mind for most is Daniel Craig sporting one in the James Bond films. However, the famous tuxedo which is also known as a dinner or black-tie suit, is now becoming an increasingly popular choice for daytime weddings.

Not only do they look cool, but there are no issues in having them personally tailored and designed to accommodate both comfort and appearance.

The biggest difference between tuxedos and suits is the use of silk satin in the making of one, most prominently on the lapels.

The small detail of applying silk satin is that your look will be elevated in comparison to a regular suit, as a special day requires a special look.

In summary, with all eyes firmly on the groom as well as the bride, any one of these trends will have you walking down the aisle in style.
