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, along with greater acceptance of breaking wedding traditions and protocols. Some of our favourite grooms’ looks here at An Essex Wedding, are those gents rocking their long beards and tattoos, in a pink waistcoat with patterned shirt – oh-so cool, and toally unique and individual. Embrace you! 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 No Time To Die premier – Daniel brought velvet back! – then it’s your wedding day, so go for it! Grooms and their support act can put their best foot forward in these trending styles. The bespoke tailored look: if you’ve never had a professional fitted suit, your wedding day is the occasion. The perfect fit is essential for comfort, looking good in 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 D&G SS22 collection then encompass this in to your groom look – you need to feel like you! Earth tones: key for bridesmaids and venue styling, this will also be a trend for the men on the day too. Think sand-coloured, beige and browns. For something a little fresher go for green palettes. The tux: grooms who still adore the traditional tuxedo can opt for it, but think about variations maybe velvet (aka Bond-style) or a bright colour or patterned effect. Adorn and accessorise: 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’s better to opt for a tuxedo, three-piece or tailcoat. ♥ A rustic style wedding allows you to experiment with your outfit – a vest, no tie, moccasins, straw hats, etc. ♥ Whichever style, the groom’s suit must fit perfectly. If it’s made to order, a good tailor will take care of it anyway. If it’s offthe- rack in a store, then it’s worth contacting a workshop/ seamstress and adjusting it. ♥ For slender figures of short and medium height, fitted jackets with narrowed trousers can be a good option, and for fuller 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 wool, corduroy, velvet in dark colours can look great! ♥ Whatever the groom’s outfit may be, it must be in harmony with the bride’s/groom’s. ♥ Classic oxfords or derby shoes are 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, 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 82
