Attention all grooms-to-be! Are you dreading the daunting task of choosing the perfect groomsmen outfits? Fear not, for we, the experts in tweed, cotton and floral neckwear and accessories, are here to help.
First things first, let’s talk about the most important aspect of your groomsmen’s attire: colour and theme. Whether you rent suits for the whole gang, or they wear suits they already own, the last thing you want is a group who look like they’re going to completely different events. Our advice? Choose a colour scheme and stick to it. Think about the colour of your bride-to-be’s bridesmaids’ dresses and your own suit, and try to coordinate with those tones. No doubt there will be photos with the whole wedding party on the day so you want to look cohesive when you are all standing in shot together!

Now, let’s talk about the actual outfits. Traditional suits are always a safe choice, but why not mix things up a bit? Tweed suits are perfect for a rustic, outdoor wedding in shoulder seasons when the weather can be unpredictable. Not only are they comfortable, but they also look great in photos. Plus, you can wear them again and again after the big day as they suit a variety of different events.
