Weddings involve so much planning that it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the decisions you have to make – and then you have to decide what to wear. We’re here to guide you through the whole process. Here are a few ideas to help inspire you for your big day.
It’s hard to go more classic than the tuxedo, and with all the long-established black tie rules, it’s the perfect option if you don’t want to make too many decisions. This one is made from Vitale Barberis Canonico’s blend of wool and mohair. The added mohair will keep the black deep and the drape crisp and wrinkle-free.
We added a waistcoat for a bit of vintage-inspired charm, which pairs well with the patent leather wholecut shoes.
If you want a bit of modern flair you can swap the mohair jacket for a jacquard pattern and throw on some velvet slippers. But in either case, you’ll be tying your bow tie. Trust us, it’ll look so much better, and you get to wear it undone around your neck at the end of the night and look like James Bond.
If you’re looking for a style that’s a touch more versatile, this is where the three-piece suit comes in. It’s a step above your everyday suit, which most of your guests will be wearing anyway. And when you inevitably shed your jacket to break it down on the dance floor or simply to get ready for dessert, it’s the waistcoat’s time to shine and keep you chic and comfortable.
The three-piece suit offers so many different options to perfectly match the theme and atmosphere of your wedding day. A simple black worsted wool with a single-breasted waistcoat is endlessly elegant and solemn.
We also love this deep forest green by Vitale Barberis Canonico with the double-breasted waistcoat. While the green offers a contemporary classic feel, this style of waistcoat gives a regal air to the whole thing.
You could also consider opting for linen or hopsack for a hot summer wedding, even a mismatched waistcoat for a more laid-back and rustic feel. There’s an option for every wedding, and we can help you find it.
For our money, very few looks scream sartorial excellence like a double-breasted jacket. Often forgotten these days, the double-breasted jacket has a rich history in menswear and was long considered the height of sophistication.
Because it’s not quite the “standard” construction for a suit in recent years, it automatically stands out a bit more, making it perfect for someone who wants something different from the norm but still formal and elegant.
When cut well, it offers a spectacular drape and pairs particularly well with heavier winter fabrics like flannel. And if you want to look like a real pro, you can make your tuxedo double-breasted too.
We know just how important your suit is on your wedding day. Just like your vows, your photos will last forever, and we’re here to make sure your style does too. Come see one of our stylists in-store and we’ll make sure you feel your most handsome when you say “I do.”
