SUITED AND BOOTED Grooms, groomsmen, and the fathers of the soon-to-be weds too, are enjoying the shopping just as much as the leading ladies. And why not, given the wealth of variety that’s becoming more readily available. Men’s fashion has come a long way in the last decade, along with a greater acceptance of breaking wedding traditions and protocols. Some of our favourite grooms’ looks here at Your Cheshire & Merseyside Wedding are those rocking their beards and tattoos, in pink or patterned shirts – oh-so cool, and totally individual. There’s much more scope for you chaps to really express your personalities through your attire than there used to be. Think what you’d choose to wear on a dayto-day basis and elevate it – you do you! Equally as popular as lightweight summer suits and rustic-vibe tweed is the more traditional, but oh-so dapper, tuxedo. Thanks to Daniel Craig we’ve been seeing more and more grooms sporting bespoke velvet tux jackets – unbeliveably chic and something you can keep and wear again well beyond the big day. Mix-and-match suiting is also set to be popular for 2023, with grooms wearing a tweed or other patterned jacket with plain trousers and waistcoat. It’s a modern look that helps you stand out from the crowd. For variation between you, the man-of-the-hour, and your entourage, dress the gents in waistcoats to match your jacket, with their jackets matching their trousers. Peaky Blinders has a lot to answer for with many gents taking the series’ signature look as their groomswear inspiration. Think timeless, classic, early 20th-century style, baker boy cap, tweed three-piece suit, crisp white penny collar shirt and brogues. Finish the look with a pocket watch (start dropping hints to your spouse-to-be now). According to Moss Bros the man-in-black look is in for 2023, thanks to the latest influx of 90s trends. With black suit, shirt and tie, it’s moody, romantic and certainly packs a punch. Kara Sillitoe from Peter Posh Suits in Knutsford shares her top three tips for putting together your groom's attire, as well as that of your party. • Try a checked waistcoat or patterned tie to stand out from your groomsmen. • Always keep an open mind when choosing a suit. We have a number of gents saying they wouldn’t wear a tailcoat, but once they try it on, they love it! • Tweed is extremely popular right now, and looks fantastic with a liberty print tie. www.peterposh.co.uk www.peterposh.co.uk www.peterposh.co.uk www.jaeger.co.uk www.dunelondon.com https://uk.tommy.com 60
