Finding the Perfect Wedding Suit
Every groom wants to look his best on his wedding day. For most men, a stylish suit is the right answer.
So, we thought that now was a good time to take a look at what is available in the shops right now. Below you can find out what cuts, colours and fabrics are on trend for AW18 along with some tips to help you to quickly find and buy the perfect one for you.
Don’t be Afraid to Shop Online
Provided you are happy to shop a little in advance, shopping online for your suit is a great idea. You get far more choice if you take this approach.
Preparing for a winter wedding with Jacamo is easy. They sell all of the latest cuts and colours. Importantly, most of them can be bought as separates. This retailer makes it super easy to get the fit right.
The Black-Tie Trend
One of the biggest trends is for grooms to wear a tuxedo, instead of a traditional suit. It is fun as well as special. This option is the perfect answer for a groom who has to wear a suit every day. Choosing black tie enables him to get away from dressing the way he does for work.
If black is not your colour, don’t worry. A lot of retailers are selling this style of suit in a range of colours. We particularly like the dark blue versions.
Lightly Coloured Suits
Not everyone looks good in dark colours, so it is good to see a lot of retailers offering lighter shades as well. Creams, soft grey and light blue suits are still very easy to get hold of.
Royal or Ink Blue
If you do not think a lightly coloured suit works for a winter wedding consider a royal blue one instead. This deep shimmery, rich colour is the perfect option for a wedding.
Checks & Tweeds
This year, a lot of designers have been inspired by Savile Row traditions. Part of this trend is the return of many fabric patterns that were previously considered old-fashioned. For men that means checks.
Tweed is also back in vogue. These stylish, lightweight, wool suits look far sharper than the traditional tweed suits you have been used to, so they are well worth considering.
Three Piece Suits
Unsurprisingly, given the recent popularity of waistcoats, three-piece suits are a big trend for AW18. This is a particularly versatile option. For the ceremony, the groom can wear his jacket. Later, at the reception, the jacket can come off, and the shirt sleeves can be pushed up to create a 2nd more relaxed and cool look.
The Slim Fit Cut
When it comes to the cut or groom suits, there really is only one option for autumn/winter 2018 and that is the slim cut. Straight tapered trousers paired with a slimline, closely tailored jacket, is a super smart and classy look. See our recommended Groomswear suppiers here.
