The Couture Groom: The Style Forecast For Fall

The Couture Groom: The Style Forecast For Fall

November 16, 2016

Gone are the days when grooms had a standard look. Today’s couture couples are choosing style options that show off each of their styles.
Here’s what’s trending for grooms with a genuine fashion sense.
  1. Suits With Hues: Today’s options are much more than black and white. In fact, much like their female counterparts, modern gents are also taking their cues from nature and the season at hand. Many a contemporary gent is choosing bold colored suits that are inspired by nature. Consider browns and burgundies for fall and winter, while lighter colors such as tans and taupes are better suited for spring and summer.
  2. The Mixologist: Grooms are rocking a mix and match style this season. Consider a three piece suit with a highlight feature such as a different color vest or blazer.
  3. “Foreign” Accents: Spruce up a traditional suit or tux with a standout pop of color. Think bold, seasonally inspired necktie, bowtie, pocket square or suspenders.
  4. Outstanding Ideas: Think about tailoring your groom’s look to his personality. For instance…having a rustic wedding? Consider pairing a sophisticated shirt with jeans and suspenders.  How about a suit with sneakers for the hipster gent. And, you can customize each of the guys looks to their personalities too….it’s a great way to insure everyone is comfortable and that everyone stands out. And, for the truly DARING groom, think, Euro-inspired patterned suit.
  5. Bonus Features: Accessories are not just for the ladies any more. Grooms are choosing are sprucing up their look with additional extras that are daring and debonair. Consider options like a truly gentlemanly waistcoat for a classic and classy look.  How about a Tourneau, Cartier or Wellington watch for added fashionable flair and sophistication. …while retro gents can opt for a pocket watch for a totally polished look.
