DRESSING THE GROOM - FALL2017
SUI T ED & BOOT ED TRADITIONAL OR TREND-SETTING
He’s got to stand out as man of the day, but he’s also got to look like himself and also more importantly, feel comfortable all day too. You’ll have your own ideas, but let him decide what he wants to wear on his day himself, it is his day too after all…
SOME CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIM
Lapel Width! So your lapel will say what kind of groom you are, narrow gives a stylish, fashionable look, mid gives a timeless look and wide is more of a traditional look. For the last few years the style has been cut very narrow, but a tailored suit allows you to decide what type of groom you are!
Pocket Squares These have made a comeback over the past few years and have gone from block colours to patterns and textured fabrics which make a lovely statement for the groom. Fold into a neat line for a classic look and scrunch up for a fuller hanky look.
What Works For You? Take a look at your shape and height and ensure you go for a style that’s going to make you look your best on photos! Think tailored legs, tight fitting jacket for the trim chaps. Single or double vents is simply a question of what you feel and look best in. Single vents work across most jacket styles but double breasted jackets will definitely require double vents.

Comfort Comfort can mean a lot of things, but what every groom needs to consider is the shoulder area of any jacket. Raising glasses for toasts and swinging your bride around the dancefloor means you’ll need room around the shoulder area – so no buying a size smaller hoping you’ll tone up for the big day!
Colour First! Don’t clash with the bridesmaids colour whatever you do, so check your colour with the bride, in fact it’s a popular idea to pick up the colour of the bridesmaids dress within ties or cravats, but not always necessary. Grey, navy and black are classics you can’t go wrong with, but this year vintage colouring and styling is popular as are textured fabrics in earth colours which are very on-trend. It’s also worth thinking about buying something that you can wear afterwards, a wise investment this is proving very popular in recent years.
