How to choose your Wedding Suit: A gentleman’s guide
May 27, 2016 3:44 pm Leave your thoughts
Your wedding suit, traditionally known as a morning suit, is considered the most important piece of tailoring you’ll dig deep in your pockets for. Why? Because if you get it wrong, you’ll still hear about it from your other half in years to come. With some wise words from London tailors Guards 1843, read on to discover how you can choose your ideal wedding suit in a fashionably blasé manner.
The Cut
Ensure your suit is well tailored by a specialist before the big day for the best fit possible. Alterations that may need to occur include taking up the sleeve (your cuff should sit at the base of your thumb), cinching in the waist and tapering the leg for a slim, modern aesthetic.
The Cloth
If you’ve opted for a summer wedding, stick to light wool. A mohair blend is highly breathable and will keep you cool for your hot and sunny big day. Cotton is another suitable option for summer, however this fabric delivers a less formal look – ideal for an outdoors wedding.
The Styling
If you want to ensure your look is smarter and sharper than your average work suit, opt for a waistcoat. Whether you choose the same colour cloth or a complimentary colour (navy and grey for summer), a waistcoat adds a sophisticated element to your suit.
The Details
Add personality and character to your wedding suit with finishing details such as handkerchiefs, ties and braces. It’s imperative that you choose accessories that compliment your suit and your wedding’s colour scheme so that you blend in stylishly.
