The
Groom:
The
biggest news in the catwalk this season has to be white as
highlighted by Moss Bros's linen dinner suit,
set off by a pink floral shirt and matching tie.
Couture Bride and Groom also presented a slick
white dinner suit accompanied by a shocking purple
waistcoat and tie. Still making the headlines this season
is the traditional top hat and tails but with a modern
twist as seen from Hugh Harris Formal Attire in a
crisp pinstriped fabric. Saville Row Trading Co
made grooms look the part in long-standing classic tailored
trousers and jackets in a range of striped navy colours. A
stunning range of waistcoats with subtle embroidery in
neutral tones was a popular choice, but that did not mean
the end of colour. Ties and waistcoats were also used to
highlight and accent the outfits.
