e understand that you want to look super-sharp on the big day, so this is no time to pull on an old suit that’s been living in the back of the wardrobe for years.
So what are the options? You can try a hire suit from one of the well-established venues and there are some great choices. Or why not pay a visit to one of the Island’s local independent stores. With the shift in trends they now stock a wide range of statement looks including three or two-piece suits, tweed and window pane checks in slim and tailored fits.
Whether choosing to hire or buy a suit, the benefit from using an independent is always a great start. You’ll find you’re more likely to get honest advice and fabulous service, they also tend to be better positioned to help with the most up to date trends and even offer advice on styles to ‘suit’ your wedding theme.
Then finish off the look with the perfect accessory; pocket handkerchiefs, cufflinks or the all-important shoes. Visual Impact Menswear in Newport carries some great brands and Gibson is certainly worth a look. Mia in Ryde has some nice three pieces at attractive prices and they also carry the infamous shoe designer Jeffery West.
