Groomed to achieve: how to dress for a summer 2024 marriage

By
June 1, 2024

A effectively- curated and nicely- fitted ensemble normally makes all the difference to a couple’s appearance. With so many expensive items available, it can be a tense ordeal to narrow down the companies that offer wedding clothing for men, hoping to look both beautiful and fashion-forward.

Focus on models that reflect your personal sense of style when choosing a suit or dress for your big day. Some of the nation’s top stylists offer bespoke and made-to-measure services, which are the best way to accomplish this. For example, Clothsurgeon, a religion London brand with A- list fans that include Riz Ahmed, Lewis Hamilton, Drake and A$AP Rocky, is the first bespoke streetwear shop to start on the city’s famous Savile Row and puts a utterly modern spin on the street’s storied tailoring traditions.

Dior Men Celebration ( s ) tuxedo

The company, which was founded by Rav Matharu in 2012, produces menswear to stringent standards using fabrics from all over the world. If it’s a more conventional approach you’re after, but, Richard Anderson, a Cavendish Row staple since 2001, with clients that include Ian McKellen, Bryan Ferry and the overdue George Michael, is your go- to, combining centuries of tradition with a clear, extended cut in its signature one- button house style.

It’s not just storied tailoring houses offering major- cut suiting, mind you. Dior has its own line of men’s wedding wear called Celebration (s), which includes tuxedos, cufflinks, derby shoes and essential accessories like pocket squares, ties and cummerbunds in lustrous silk. The brand’s classic-cut tuxedo is perfect for those who want a classic fit in heated queen wool with chic details like satin-covered buttons and inserts on the pants.

Torsade de Chaumet ring and brooch

Got the suit nailed? Then it’s time to think about matching the shirt with. Don’t be afraid to add some color to your wedding look with shirting in vibrant or pastel colors, whether you like it simple or have a penchant for experimentation. Brands like Gucci, Ralph Lauren, and Prada have wearable pieces like Oxfords and camp-collar styles full of personality thanks to their brightly colored prints and eye-catching geometric designs. Elsewhere, Favourbrook, established in 1990, adds texture to its dress shirts with frills and pleating in unusual hues like burnt orange, ivory and dusk pink.

To elevate your wedding look even further, take notes from trendsetters like – and Timothée Chalamet, who have incorporated bejewelled brooches into their red carpet suiting. Take an iced-out approach to the big day by wearing some classic white diamonds, such as Tiffany & Co.’s Bird on a Rock or Chaumet’s dazzling spiral Torsade de Chaumet brooch, as worn by White at the Screen Actors Guild Awards earlier this year.

Otherwise, a carefully placed diamond, emerald, sapphire, or colored diamond is sure to upend your wedding day look. Cindy Chao recently donned Matthew McConaughey at the Oscars wearing a sculptural ribbon brooch set with a 3.34-carat fancy yellow diamond in the center. Or, if you’re more of an antique obsessive, opt for something vintage. When Chalamet wore a vintage 1955 Cartier piece dipped in rubies and diamonds on the Oscars red carpet, he formally endorsed the archival brooch trend in 2020.

Manolo Blahnik Carlton loafers

Once you’ve locked in the perfect suit, shirt and accessories, footwear is the final consideration. When it comes to formal shoe styles fit for a wedding, options are aplenty, but we’d recommend legendary designer Manolo Blahnik. The British brand’s Carlton loafers are available in suede or velvet in a luxe brown, black, or midnight blue, and are finished with a grosgrain ribbon for a sleek finish. In a two-tone monochrome finish, the Manolo lace-ups are ideal for elevating casual suiting without looking out of place.

Above all, when it comes to wedding day dressing, stay true to your style and always, prioritize quality. Although a wedding may only last one day, these investment-worthy pieces will be treasured for the rest of their lives.
