Winter luxe We’ve put together a guide to help you craft the perfect winter look Snow-covered landscapes, twinkling lights and festive decorations set the scene for a truly magical ‘I do.’ But when it comes to your outfits, how do you stay warm, coordinate with your colour scheme and still look wedding-ready? We’ve put together a guide, with the help of formalwear specialist Favourbrook (favourbrook.com), to help you craft the perfect winter look. TEXTURED FABRICS Velvet is the ultimate choice for groomsto-be celebrating a winter wedding. Think rich jackets or full suits in emerald green or burgundy that bring instant luxury and warmth. The team at Favourbrook highlights velvet as the perfect alternative to traditional wedding attire. Over the years, black-tie weddings have grown in popularity, making them a natural fit for winter celebrations. A classic black velvet suit, Favourbrook notes, works beautifully for the ceremony before moving effortlessly into dinner and dancing. Velvet tuxedo jackets offer a refined twist on the traditional black or midnight look, giving grooms-to-be the chance to express a more personal style from day to night. For late autumn and winter weddings, Favourbrook recommends pairing an extra-fine wool or cashmere morning coat with merino wool striped trousers. Wool’s natural temperature-regulating properties make it ideal for formalwear, while lightweight merino yarn ensures ultimate comfort. The fabric keeps grooms warm and dry while maintaining an elegant silhouette – a winning combination for stylish, winter weddings. Eco-friendly suits are also growing in popularity: tailored pieces made from sustainable fabrics or produced using responsible manufacturing processes. SEASONAL COLOUR PALETTES Winter weddings naturally lean into deeper hues and more expressive colour choices that feel both modern and timeless. Rich shades such as burgundy, forest green, navy and plum sit beautifully against winter landscapes. These colours photograph well and add depth and warmth to a groom’s overall look. Jewel tones such as emerald, sapphire and ruby are also having a moment, bringing a refined pop of colour to ties or pocket squares without overpowering the outfit. For a classic take, black tie remains an elegant and universally flattering choice. Neutrals, when warmed up with thoughtful accents, look great in photographs.
