Going green means more than an eco-friendly ethos as it finds new form in the world of fashion.
From dark fern and light sage to pastel mint and earthy pistachio, green is grooms wear's current colour crush.
Whether you select your favourite shade and wear it as a three-piece suit or choose a single feature or accessory such as your tie, waistcoat, blazer or boutonnière, any tint from the spectrum will freshen up your ensemble. Turn heads with a striking forest green suit, achieve rustic dapper with mossy tweed, or layer a mix of tones for a look bursting with depth. Perfect for a country, botanical-styled or nature-inspired shindig, green is as gorgeously perennial as it is tantalisingly on-trend.
WHAT LIES BENEATH
Luxury loungewear and undergarments aren't just for the ladies. To ensure that grooms are dressed for all occasions, Hamilton & Hare's Savile Row-trained designers have created a super-comfy and stylish wedding boxer that'll look and feel as good as the rest of your outfit.
Made from premium-grade pinpoint textured weave cotton, the shorts come in a crisp, clean white with a slimline tailored cut to ensure they won't ruin the line of a suit when worn underneath. Luxe touches such as a mother-of-pearl button fly combine with complimentary monogramming of either the bride's initials or the wedding date for extra personalised panache. Plus, Hamilton & Hare's collection includes everything from terry joggers and sweatshirts to T-shirts, robes and slippers for grooms seeking stylish loungewear for the honeymoon and beyond.
NEUTRAL TERRITORY
Neutrals are the mark of a man with his finger firmly on the fashion pulse. From sand-coloured suits to pale ochre separates and oatmeal chinos, a washed-out palette is all the rage everywhere from the runways to the tailors. Highly wearable and easy to customise, neutrals appear chic, cool and effortless while firmly residing in the high-fashion-meets-hint-of-dandy territory of grooms wear.
From white to tan, consider the full range of hues as your stylistic base before splicing some colour or pattern into your outfit through the minutiae. Picture a beige or taupe suit with a sky blue shirt, or stone-coloured trousers with a salmon pink jacket, or pair a light oak two-piece with a floral tie or shirt for instant and uber-contemporary panache.
TYING THE KNOT
They say it's all in the detail ' and Sarah Beresford's embroidered ties and bow ties are stylish proof of that fact. Fusing classic style with a whimsical twist, each individually embroidered item is created using traditional methods from English spun silk, organza and velvet, all exclusively crafted in small runs. Hearts, stripes and daisies are a few of the delicate designs currently available, which are presented in a beautiful gift bag or box, providing an ideal keepsake for your groomsmen.
