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?
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.

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.
