How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Suit?
Picture yourself at the altar. The colours, style, and cut of your wedding suit are flawless, accentuating your best features. You have never looked (or felt) better in a suit. The best wedding suits are the ones that exude confidence and style, without looking like they’re trying too hard. Everything falls into place exactly as it should.
But how do you find ‘the one’ wedding suit when there are so many choices?
Consider the Venue and Theme
Are you saying ‘I Do’ in a romantic garden, a stunning hotel, or a dreamy destination abroad? Your sense of style will depend largely on your venue and theme. It guides your decision in selecting your wedding suit colours, fabrics, and overall formality, ensuring you look your absolute best.
After all, this is the most significant day of your life, and you want to look dressed for the occasion. For instance, a sun-drenched garden might call for earthy tones like sage or tan, while classic navy or black is perfectly suited to a formal ballroom.
Find Your Perfect Fit
There’s a reason custom-made suits are highly coveted for a once-in-a-lifetime occasion. The cut of a custom-made suit is tailored precisely to your measurements and will sharpen your silhouette. Finding the perfect fit means you don’t have to worry about looking elegant – it comes effortlessly.
We recommend keeping these three areas in mind:
- The Shoulder Alignment
The seam of the jacket should sit exactly where your natural shoulder ends. If it droops over, the suit looks borrowed. If it bunches up toward your neck, it is too small. It should be a clean, flat line from neck to arm.
- The Midsection Contour
When you fasten the top button, the jacket should feel like a light, comfortable hug. You’re looking for a smooth silhouette that creates a subtle “V” shape.
- The Trouser Break
This is where your trousers meet your shoes. For a modern, sharp look, aim for a “slight break” (a small fold where the fabric touches the shoe) or a “no break” finish for a clean, contemporary line.
At Woolcott St, we ensure your wedding suit style is tailored perfectly to you. Forget loosely hanging fabrics or awkward designs that hide your best features. With our precision and intentional design, you can step into your wedding day with extraordinary style.
Choose the Right Colour and Fabric
A well-chosen colour palette can make a profound impact. Our expert tailors will help you select your wedding suit colours, ensuring they perfectly complement your surroundings while enhancing your complexion. Ultimately, you want a shade that feels natural and matches the energy of your special day.
Beyond the shade itself, the texture of your suit should reflect your lifestyle and the season. Whether you choose a breathable, high-twist wool that moves with you on the dance floor or a heavier cashmere blend to keep warm during winter, we’ll help you select a fabric composition that provides both comfort and style.
Pick Your Accessories
Once you’ve figured out your style, it’s time to elevate your look with stylish accessories. These are the details that add an edge to your aesthetic and allow you to feel your best on your special day.
- The Tie or Bow Tie
This is a crucial accessory that elevates your ensemble. Your choice of a classic silk tie or a bold bow tie should mirror your proportions, ensuring a balanced and sharp silhouette.
- The Pocket Square
Aim for a pocket square that complements your tie rather than matching it perfectly. It adds a final layer of depth and visual interest to your jacket.
- The Personal Sentiments
From heirloom cufflinks to a classic timepiece, these finishing touches carry deep meaning and ensure your suit feels uniquely made for you.
This is your chance to craft a suit that reflects who you are. Our team is exceptionally adept at looking into the details, ensuring every decision has its purpose.
