What ’ s on the radar for 2022 & beyond when it comes to wedding looks ?
Expect to see formal weddings dialled up even further as people seek to make a more dramatic impact on their big day ( in protest of the dressed-down trend you see in workplaces ). Think three-piece tuxedos in custom fabrics like mohair and luxurious wool blends . The momentum around elopements and garden-style weddings isn ’ t likely to slow down either . Inventing their own traditions , couples are looking towards less traditional but still dressy fare such as three-piece suits worn without ties or classic two-pieces worn with plain white sneakers .
2 How important is a well-fitted
suit & what should we look for ?
The suit should flatter the groom ’ s proportions in terms of fit . There is nothing worse than seeing a suit that is either too loose and baggy or too tight , particularly on your wedding day , which should be the one day of a man ’ s life that he should feel happy and confident while looking a million dollars . Oh , and make sure you get a tuxedo you can dance in !
