Few cities command the respect of London when it comes to men’s tailoring. The birthplace of Savile Row style, the royal metropolis continues to set global standards for bespoke suiting. No milestone style decision is complete without taking a look at what’s trending with the Brits.
1 The Rise of Relaxed Refinement in Bespoke Wedding Suits
1980s fashion may be back with double-breasted jackets and bold lapels, but it’s taken a softer touch to power suiting. There’s more comfort and freedom of movement with:
- Slightly wider shoulders
- Looser chest
- Trousers with a gentler drape
A more comfortable groom is a more confident groom, so it’s worth exploring the option, no matter what your grandad would like.
2. Surprising Fun with Color
Navy and gray are always acceptable choices, but many grooms are choosing colors from nature’s most vivid moments to make more of a stand-out statement:
- Sunrise orange
- Sunset pink
- Forest green
- Turquoise blue
Don’t fancy so much color? You can still bring the vibe with a tie, pocket square, waistcoat or even suit jacket lining.
3. Custom Wedding Suits and the Master Stroke of Monochrome
A monochrome look means you wear the same color from head to toe, but the shades can vary. Think of the endless hues of blue or a full spectrum of grays. A monochrome custom wedding suit is both timeless and modern. Both unified and sophisticated.
4. Grooms Keeping Their Cool When the Heat Is On
We’ve all had to attend weddings that were uncomfortably warm. Your own shouldn’t be one of them. London grooms are finding breathable fabrics that are appropriate to the occasion and the weather.
Get a feel for:
- Lightweight wools, including super-fine merino
- Cotton-silk blends
- Modern linens with wrinkle control
- Light cotton lining—or no lining at all
Since darker colors like black and navy absorb more heat from the sun, lighter colors like sage green and pale lavender are popular, too.
5. Masculine and Feminine Play Nice in Bespoke Wedding Suits
The “rules” aren’t as rigid as they used to be, even on Savile Row. Your custom wedding suit is only bounded by your own personal likes and dislikes and the authentic expression of your personality.
Keen on a dusty rose jacket? Sure. Ruffled lapel? Of course. Ribbon here…lace there. Whyever not?
When you work with Bespoke Mr. James, a master tailor trained in the Savile Row style to create a one-of-a-kind wedding suit, they understand how to turn even the most creative ideas into a perfectly artful ensemble.
