Introduction
The world of men's fashion is continuously evolving, with new trends emerging almost every year. The most evident of this evolution is within the sphere of wedding attire, specifically grooms' suits. As we look forward to 2024, expect more ingenuity, customisation and authenticity. This blog post will give you a comprehensive guide to the top 10 trends for grooms' suits in the UK for 2024, with a hint on the seamless incorporation of jewellery into the suit ensemble.
1. Bold Colours
Gone are the days when grooms would only don charcoal grey or navy suits to their wedding. 2024 foretells a dramatic shift towards bold and vibrant colours. Leading the pack is the dark red velvet tuxedo, a luxurious and bold choice that adds a dash of opulence while still maintaining the formal aesthetic of a classic tuxedo. Don't be afraid to go beyond traditional pastels and into emerald green, burgundy, or royal blue suits.
2. Unconventional Materials
Why stick to wool or cotton when there are a plethora of fabrics to choose from? Think velvet, corduroy and even denim. The choice of fabric is a great opportunity to not only make an individual fashion statement but also to cater to the season of your wedding. A velvet tuxedo, for example, would be perfect for a winter wedding.
3. Tailored Fits
2024 will see a rise in demand for tailored, custom-fit suits. A tailored suit not only fits better, but it also allows for customisation that can enable a groom to infuse more of his personality into his wedding attire.
4. Print Play
Floral, animal, or graphic prints? Yes, please! Prints add that extra detail that can transform a suit from ordinary to outstanding. The key here is to ensure the print complements the overall wedding theme as well as the groom's personal style.
5. Sustainability
With growing concern over fast fashion's impact on the environment, 2024 will champion the sustainability trend. Grooms are expected to lean more towards suits manufactured from sustainable or recycled fabrics.
The Perfect Jewellery Pairing
The perfect suit calls for the perfect jewellery. The rise in trend of lapel pins, cufflinks and tie bars should not be overlooked. These pieces not only complete the suit ensemble but also add a personal touch to the outfit. Opt for custom pieces that reflect your personality or family heirloom pieces that hold sentimental value.
6. Stylish Waistcoats
Waistcoats present a unique opportunity for grooms to express their individual style. Opt for a contrasting colour from the suit or a patterned piece for that unique touch.
7. Return to Classic Styles
While 2024 promises several contemporary styles, the classic three-piece suit is expected to make a comeback. Expect to see grooms in pinstriped suits, double-breasted jackets and wide-legged trousers, all hallmarks of a bygone era.
8. International Inspiration
Think Italian suits, Japanese kimonos and Indian sherwanis. In 2024, there will be an appreciation for international styles as grooms seek unique ways to celebrate their heritage or simply take inspiration from global fashion trends.
9. Silk Ties
While bow ties are a classic choice for groom's suits, in 2024 expect to see more silk ties. Silk ties add an element of sophistication and offer a wider range of colours and patterns for the groom to choose from.
10. Sneakers and Suits
Who says you can’t wear sneakers with a suit? This trend dovetails with the rise of individual expression in fashion. In 2024, grooms will pair their suits with leather, velvet or custom-designed sneakers for that touch of cool.
Conclusion
The groom’s suit plays a significant role in any wedding. As we predict the top trends for grooms' suits in 2024, one thing is certain: the emphasis is on individual style and self-expression. Be it a dark red velvet tuxedo, a floral print suit or a custom-made sustainable piece; the perfect suit should not just make you look good, but also make you feel good.
