The Wedding Dilemma


Every year the wedding season strikes us hard and fast, leaving us floundering and wondering, “Is it that time of year again? Do I have anything to wear?  And yet another one bites the dust!”

Are you low on ideas on where to get your next suit and unsatisfied with the choice of tailored clothing out there?

Fear not, SS Homme has the answer to all your sartorial dilemmas for this wedding season.

Whether you are looking for the perfect Bespoke suit for you cousin’s engagement or your best friend’s destination wedding these simple rules still apply.
While you wish to look dapper in your new suit you don’t want to out shine the groom. So here’s how to keep it simple, yet stylish.

  1.    Its does matter if its Black or White
Michael Jackson may have been singing about embracing your skin colour but when it comes to your styling mantra don’t embrace his philosophy.  The Black suit is a dime a dozen and you do not want to be confused with a waiter when a slightly tipsy uncle hails one from the bar.
Solid white suits are a no no.

  2.    Fifty Shades of Grey
While women all over the world have been gaga over this series of books, the title does have a point. There are various shades of grey that would make you look unique yet stylish. TIP- chose a darker grey with a smaller checkered pattern or let the suit shine just a tad bit.

  3.    Colours
     If you already have too many greys in your wardrobe and you are ready to experiment with colour try a deep burgundy, cobalt blue or a chocolate brown suit.

  4.    Size Matters
A month away from the wedding and you are not feeling as fit as you used to be, all those late working hours and take outs are beginning to show on your body. Don’t get carried away and get a tight suit thinking that surely if you went to the gym early every morning you would lose a few pounds. Instead dress for your size. You will look and feel comfortable and you wont have to dread your jacket button popping mid-meal while you’re chatting with that cute bride’s friend. Bespoke suits are your best bet for the perfect fit.

  5.    Shirting’s the Issue
Make sure your shirt is well fitted. You can choose light pastel colours for day functions or darker hues for the night. However, make sure the colours of your suit and shirt are not in stark contrast to one another.

  6.    Spice it up
Add that silk pocket square you’ve been unsure about or a quirky bow tie for a Youngsters event.
