Working the groom

Working the groom

Style tips for the man of the moment.



words Hannah May 
 
DESIGN FOR LIFE
For those of you searching for something standout, why not consider a patterned suit? With tweed and check high on designers' list of desirables, sporting some head-to-toe pattern - or weaving a little detail into your shirt, waistcoat or tie - will definitely do the trick when it comes to stealing some of the spotlight for yourself.

GREEN DAY
When it comes to grooms wear, green weddings are more about fashion-forward flair than eco warrior credentials. Although blue and grey still remain two of the hottest hues of the moment, green suits are also emerging as a colour du jour on the catwalks.
 
Opt for show-stealing zesty bright or a more muted tone such as olive or khaki for a subtler take on the trend. Alternatively, select a single feature such as the jacket for an ultra suave and modern-hip style statement.

SHADY BUSINESS
Pack some colour into your wedding outfit via those all-important details and showcase some sassy grooms style with a playful, modern twist to boot. 
 
Think about infusing some colourful character with your socks, shoes, tie, shirt and waistcoat or, for a bolder look, experiment with some colour blocking - maybe even mix in some pattern for extra punch.

BLING IT ON 
Jewellery isn't just for the ladies, gents. Don some stylish metal and self-expression with one of the forthcoming seasons' must-haves: the tie clip. 
 
Affording an endless array of options to up the bespoke factor, simply take inspiration from any of your fancies such as your favourite superhero, hobby or colour - and pin some eye-catching personality to suit!

WALK THIS WAY
Grooms take note: there's one particular part of your anatomy that's going to be stealing the sartorial spotlight over the coming months...your feet.
 
Two tone, patina (that's creatively coloured French shoes to you and me) and loafers are all the rage, so whether you wish to dress dapperly with a pair of brogues or keep it casual with some Converse, let your toes do the multi-chromatic talking.
