Manly Men: Inspired Styles for the Gallant Grooms

January 9, 2019


In days gone by men were expected to be not only dashing but dapper and just as stylish as women, especially if they wanted to get a fair maiden’s attention. So, what better day to strut you stuff than on one of the most important and momentous days of your adult life?  Remember fellas…it’s not only HER day to shine…but YOURS too and together your unmistakable style should put you in the limelight. New York Gents have always taken pride in their fashion prowess and are known for being leaders in stepping out in style. Here are just some of the trends taking shape in 2019 for manly men getting married.

Well Suited: Three piece streamlined suits are how you can expect more “casual” grooms and their best buds to suit up this upcoming season. This mod trend combined the old with the new for a look that equally laid back as it is “elegant”.

The L-Word: Light and airy linen pant suits are expected to be the inspiration behind this year’s summer fashions for men, especially for daytime, beachside and destination weddings.

Dapper Dudes: Like many brides, grooms are taking their cues from across the sea. English-inspired royal styles including morning suits and tails complete with top hat are giving men more majestic options for pulling off a robustly regal look on their wedding day.

EmBOLDened Grooms: From ascots to whimsical ties and bow ties...even tartan trousers and velvet dinner jackets grooms are choosing bold accents to compliment their bride’s bold and beautiful style.

Sleek and Sophisticated: Classically streamlined dinner suits in dark and dashing colors, including black pants with white dinner jacket are making a comeback for elegant yet understated evening event.

Sock Jocks: Fun and festive footwear including socks with stripes, dots, and daring designs are yet another way grooms are stepping out in style.
