TO THE WEDDING

Once a man reaches a certain age (for most mid-twenties onwards) dressing for a wedding becomes a familiar routine. Despite this, men’s wedding suit ideas can be hard to come by. Wedding suits for grooms should be formal, that much is a given, but if you’re a groomsman or guest, things are a little trickier. Below is our vision for wedding dressing this season which spans from failsafe, classic looks to contemporary suiting which feels far fresher. We’ve done the hard work, so all that’s left for you to do is turn up on time.

IN COLOUR

A brown suit provides the perfect way to add interest to a wedding look without making too many waves.

BLUE SUEDE SHOES

Don’t feel the need to be constrained by traditional footwear options. Tasselled blue loafers in chic suede offer a natty alternative to more traditional black or brown dress shoes.

LIGHTEN UP

For summer weddings comfort trumps excessive formality. Lighten up with a linen shirt and some clear acetate sunglasses.

HARD TO BEAT

Sometimes the classics are hard to beat. Case in point is the navy suit which is a failsafe wedding choice.

HERITAGE REMASTERED

Look to iconic tailoring designs such as Prince of Wales checks and double-breasted blazer silhouettes to nod to heritage style.

THE MAGIC NUMBER

A three piece suit needn’t look uptight, modern mottled weaves give this formal favourite a design-led reworking.

TRY TEXTURE

A subtle textured weave blazer will add interest to your look which looks even better when viewed up close.

IN THE PINK

SS17’s most popular pastel shade works just as well in pink tailoring for summer weddings as it does off-duty. Wear sparingly.

TWIN PEAKS

For an informal wedding look try twinning a peak lapel white blazer with a crew-neck black t-shirt; it’s the perfect marriage of smart and relaxed style.

TONE UP

When layered liberally, the tonal shades of blue suit make for an unconventionally stylish look come wedding season.
