Vintage Elegance Has Made a Comeback

History has been good on groom suits and some of the greatest suit ideas came to be centuries ago. Interestingly, today we are seeing a resurgence of vintage-inspired elegance. This includes double-breasted designs and three-piece suits. These styles are known to provide a polished and sophisticated appearance, a key appearance goal for grooms.

The vintage styles come with a modern twist to give them a contemporary flair. You will find the suits with slimmer fits, personalised styling and high-quality fabrics to keep them relevant and fresh.

Vintage styles are also functional. For example, a three-piece suit like the one here consists of a jacket, vest and a pair of trousers. Grooms can wear the whole set to the formal wedding and remove the jacket at the reception for a more casual look. On the other hand, a double-breasted suit has wide lapels and is bold. This makes it ideal for people who wish to have the old Hollywood glamour at their wedding.

Contemporary Fabrics and Colours are Being Featured

A while back, only dark and grey suits made their way to the weddings. Luckily, today’s grooms have a wider colour palette on their hands to give the wedding that extra touch. They can go for amazing options like shades of blue, emerald green and burgundy and still look perfectly wonderful. This expanded colour list also helps the groom make a statement on the wedding floor and works well with various themes on the wedding.

We are also witnessing a rise in the use of sustainable fabrics when making wedding suits. Some sustainable options like bamboo, linen and cotton, as well as their blends, have made a comeback.

There are several reasons for this. First, these materials reflect a commitment to keeping the environment green. Second, they are breathable and comfortable wear. In essence, grooms ensure they look and feel good while keeping the environment green.

Bespoke Details are Giving Grooms Personality

It is good that grooms add some personality to their suits and bespoke details are giving them that opportunity. Today, you will see grooms add something that is personal to them, like embroidery, a date or their initials on suits. The creative ones can also add a favourite quote somewhere within the seams of their jacket. Others go out of their way to choose their favourite linings and bold colours just to feel that personal touch.

Another way to personalise suits is to customise the pocket styles, lapels and buttons. These small details may look insignificant, but they have a huge impact on the overall aesthetic of the suit. For example, if a groom goes with peak lapels, the suit looks quite formal.

On the other hand, notch lapels give the suit a relaxed, informal vibe. When it comes to buttons, there are metal, wooden and plastic options that look great. Buttons also come in a wide variety of colours and finishes, which gives suits a personalised look.

Modern grooms have a wide variety of options when choosing their wedding suits. Today, many merge popular vintage styles with contemporary flair. Others customise their looks, while yet others go bold. Fortunately, there is a plethora of options, no matter the direction you may decide to go.
